Sarah Connors/Linda Hamilton in "Terminator 2" totally rocks.
Linda Hamilton kicked donkey butt in Terminator 2 and she worked dang hard to get that body for the movie. It was an unrealistic routine to keep up over years and years, but for the short run, it worked GREAT. She started her workout program thirteen weeks before shooting began, and continued the regimen for the film's six month shoot.
She trained for three hours a day, six days a week. Linda shed 12 pounds on a nonfat diet that revolved around cereal with skim milk, chicken, and dry salads. Her drills included aerobic exercise (running, biking, swimming, or stair-climbing) followed by free weights interspersed with mini-trampoline work-and, for dessert, walking lunges or an abdominal series. On top of all that, Linda says, an Israeli commando, Uzi Gal, primed her for action scenes with ''judo and heavy-duty military training. I learned to load clips, change mags, check out a room upon entry, verify kills."
Look at her. It worked. When I was able to work out (I have not yet given up hope to be able to work out again), she was one of my idols. And Terminator 2 was an excellent show.
