Blue-eyed, six-foot-one Bradley Cooper is one of Hollywood’s top actors. In 2015, he became the 10th actor in Oscars history to win more than three nominations back-to-back yearly. With his chiseled body and killer looks, he was named the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine in 2011.

The Hangover star managed to woo the Russian bombshell, Irina Shayk. The couple will soon have a baby together as a pregnant Irina Shayk is evidently out and about the LA streets with a baby bump. But of late, rumors are flying high of the duo’s alleged breakup. Cooper and Shayk welcomed in the New Year separately, and this further fueled the breakup rumors.

It seems as though Cooper is trying to cope with the alleged breakup stress through exercise. The A-list actor puts in sincere efforts to maintain his fit body, and at 42, Bradley Cooper engages in diverse hardcore workouts in addition to jogging.

Bradley Cooper’s Workout Routine

The Limitless actor prefers a lean, toned body rather than a bulky one. He is very earnest with his workout routine. He follows a workout program called the 3-2-1 Training Method to get that perfectly shaped body.

The workout routine is a full-body program that works the calves, hamstrings, quadriceps, abs, obliques, lats, pecs and shoulders, ensuring you get ripped from head-to-toe.

While doing this workout, make sure that the time spent in doing the exercise is consistent, without any breaks. However, you have option to reduce the time from ten minutes to six, five, or even four minutes (or whatever you can comfortably perform).
