A Marvel Stuntwoman's Entire Routine, from Waking Up to Jumping Off Buildings | Allure

Hollywood stuntwoman Carrie Bernans shares her entire routine-including how she protects her body and skin from the elements while on set. Having done stunts for productions like 'Black Panther', 'Avengers: Endgame,' and 'The Walking Dead,' she shows us how much consistent preparation goes into each role. From waking up and meditating to 2.5 hours of martial arts while learning stunts on the fly, Carrie shows us the importance of consistency and self-care in her daily life as a Hollywood stuntwoman.

[@rabbitmmms]

And this is a great example of why stunt persons need an Oscar category. The skill needed to be successful, let alone the skill to get the shots needed on film should be properly recognized

[@ellasiegumfeldt8587]

Agreed!

[@Rhi-fn3hu]

Watching this I thought the same thing

[@silvianguyen6903]

Apparently the reason they don't is because they don't want to encourage people to try to one up each other. And risk getting hurt

[@mlou4444]

Absolutely! Every actor talks about how the stunt people make them look good. They need the create they deserve!

[@mickilarry4890]

That’s what SAG is for

[@baddestb8460]

She plays multiple sports, trained in martial arts, speaks multiple different languages, has an amazing personality and more, definition of a boss lady!

[@shannonwilliams2777]

It made me feel happy seeing that

[@RbpcsFit]

Yes and who she gave the credit to, Almighty God was refreshing to see and hear in today’s world.

[@AndreosValentine]

@@RbpcsFit you hear it too much imo... keep ur religion to yourself like i have to do with my sexuality for your mental booboos

[@Rad_Akali]

@@RbpcsFit It's not refreshing, it's foolish and stupid. What god does she even mean out of the hundreds in the world?? All you cultists automatically assume when someone discusses god, they mean the monotheistic male god of Abrahamic faiths. Statistically it is the most likely, but you don't know for certain; and for you to so easily assume that it is YOUR stupid god she's referring to is incredibly foolish and narcissistic. And none of them exist, anyway - she would be wiser and more self-empowered to give credit to her own self.

I appreciate that she states how important it is to have at least 5 hearty meals a day especially when she looks that incredible. Don’t starve yourself people.

[@9206156175]

I agree with you and I think it's really cool to binge these videos because you see all of these women living healthy full lives and they dont all eat the same diet. It's really looking at what your body needs and what's healthy for you too.

[@cupid3890]

She has to eat a lot in order to keep up with how much she moves. Other people don't need to eat 5 whole meals a day, 3 is enough.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

[@Ss-ls7kr]

This is so inspiring. I haven't even finished the video and she's already spoken about so much. I am in AWE of her. I am an introvert so it's hard for me to get out of my comfort zone. I enjoy my solitary and prefer to be independent. My husband encouraged me to start my own business and the thought of that just overwhelmed me. But maybe I should just consider it... the best thing you can do is to look after YOURSELF.

I'm going to send this to every person I know that has a young black girl in their family so that they can share this. Just seeing someone so talented gives us the opportunity and understanding that we can also do what the world doesn't show us on a everyday basis. There's so many different opportunities in life that can be taken advantage of that are not shown to or provided to black youth. As well as other young ladies in the world.
