Anthony Michael Hall has been a Hollywood mainstay for more than 40 years and shot to fame in iconic movies like The Breakfast Club,<\/em> Weird Science,<\/em> and National Lampoon\u2019s Vacation,<\/em> but despite his hefty acting resume, this actor is serious about staying in shape. The star, who has more recently starred in Wednesday,<\/em> and can currently be seen on Nation\u2019s Dumbest,<\/em> shares his strategy with M&F.<\/span><\/p>\n When Anthony Michael Hall gets to work on a new movie or television project, he also makes sure to master his fitness ahead of long shoots. The actor, who recently appeared as \u201cZachary Beck\u201d in the third season of Reacher<\/em> has certainly relied on his physical fitness during many blockbuster projects and recalls that one of his toughest tests came on the set of Dead in Tombstone<\/em>\u00a0 back in 2013. \u201cI starred in that movie along with Danny Trejo and Mickey Rourke and I had a blast,\u201d says Hall.\u201d I was riding horses, shot lots of crazy fight scenes, and even did some high falls onto big pads. A great experience that we shot it in Bucharest.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Joining the cast of Nation\u2019s Dumbest,<\/em> airing on Fox<\/a> and Disney+,<\/a> it\u2019s Hall\u2019s mental fitness that is currently being tested. Here, the primary goal is to graduate and leave the show by early by being smart, rather than remaining as the last one standing, and thus earning the title of Nation\u2019s Dumbest.<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI thought, I\u2019m gonna go for it and have some fun with this,\u201d says the star. \u201cAnd that\u2019s exactly what I did.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n Of course, Hall, who is fighting fit at 58, knows that both body and his mind are the tools of his trade. \u201cI love eating fast-food sometimes, I\u2019m not going to lie,\u201d explains the balanced actor. \u201cWe usually indulge on family road trips. I\u2019m also a big fan of good New York-style pizza.\u201d But for the majority of his meals, Hall stays away from too much sugar. \u201cI cut out breads and sugars, and I limit my carb intake to pasta,\u201d\u00a0 he explains, noting that especially during taxing projects, the actor increases his water and protein intake. \u201cI eat fish and chicken as my protein, plus I always incorporate lots of fresh vegetables and fruit\u2026 no breads or sugars in the house when I\u2019m working.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMy routine is executed at my home gym, out on my deck, or on the beach,\u201d he shares. \u201cI focus on weight training, with lighter weights but higher reps. I love biking and shadow boxing for cardio.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n This movie star also works on his mobility. \u201cI follow a fascia and lymphatic flow routine,\u201d says the star. For the uninitiated, the fascia and lymphatic systems are linked processes, where the fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs, while lymph fluid vessels run through the facia layers.<\/a> <\/span>Practices such as massage, stretching, and yoga stimulate trapped fluid and can reduce inflammation while flushing out toxins.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Hall completes these weights, cardio, and mobility sessions five times per week. \u201cIn the morning or early afternoon, in the sun,\u201d he explains, and notes that while he is not a huge consumer of health supplements, he does regularly take vitamin C, \u201cfor general good health, and for strengthening your immune system.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n In terms of his playlist, the keen musician and \u201cHall of Mirrors\u201d singer loves to workout to some of\u00a0 his favorite tracks. \u201cI\u2019m always listening to music while I\u2019m working out,\u201d shares Hall. \u201cSome artists on my current playlist include James Blake, his new album (\u201cTrying Times\u201d) is brilliant. I\u2019m a big Mac Miller fan, so I\u2019ve been listening to his albums like \u201cSwimming.\u201d Also, Chris Stapleton, Kings of Leon, Yelawolf, Jacob Collier. Lots of jazz, too!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n A balanced dedication to his daily health and fitness routine should keep Michael Anthony Hall in shape for the foreseeable future, and that\u2019s great news because the busy actor has two more huge projects on the way. He\u2019ll star in the upcoming comedy-horror, Halloween Store,<\/em> and is joining the cast of S.W.A.T: Exiles.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n To follow Anthony Michael Hall on Instagram, click here.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhat Is Anthony Michael Hall\u2019s Mobility Routine?<\/h2>\n
