How I Train My Body For Film & Television | S2E5 with Steve Zim and Katee Sackhoff

I have been lucky enough to build my acting career playing strong, powerful, badass women. And in this episode I'm going to show you how I get the body to back up the attitude!!
(SPOILER ALERT: for anyone who still hasn't watched Longmire but is planning to, you may want to skip from 4:16 - 4:28 😬but seriously, if you haven't watched it by now that's on you 🤷‍♀️😛)
A HUGE thank you to Steve Zim for doing this with me!

This is really damn impressive to see. Not just in how she transformed her body in such a dedicated way, but I can't think of many female actors who would show the truth of it in this way. She essentially spent 45 minutes showing us how she's not "perfect" in a very intimate way. Who the hell does that?!

[@randommcranderson5155]

real talk normal women don't put on 7 lbs of muscle in a month. Even with excellent genetics she'd be hard pressed at her age to add 2 lbs of muscle. The likelihood of her being on some kind of chemical assistance is large.

[@letomoon]

Same! All her measurements are exactly the same as me.... except I'm 4 inches shorter lol. So my body fat percentage is higher, but I put on muscle easily like her so it's nice to see how she changes with those measurements.

[@WidebodyLotty]

I like the fact Katee is maintaining a “healthy” weight. Being in Hollywood, I expected her to be 110lbs, but being around 135+ at her height is very nice. She looks extremely lean and athletic, but not waifish. That’s a great healthy look and it makes her more believable in physical roles.

No messing around with roids. Not that it's 'wrong' per se, but it gives kids a bad impression about what is achievable naturally. We're not just talking Kumail Nanjiani's ridiculously obvious juicing. Disney is the biggest roid pusher on the planet, and its audience is also the youngest.

[@georgewagner2352]

I have a few questions for Mr. Steve Zim, because this poor woman is going to have severe shoulder issues in the near future 1. Why in the world are you having her do behind the neck lat pulldowns? 2. Where did you come up with the theory that performing external rotation of the glenohumeral joint will cause observational separation of muscle groups? (And why the overly repetitive execution of such a minor joint movement?) 3. Do you really believe that side bends (lateral flexion of the trunk) will "tone" the obliques? 4. Do you know what the true definition of "tone" is? 4. Did she really gain 7 lbs. of muscle in 1 month? Come on, some number fudging took place there. That is extremely rare and difficult to do on an anatomical hypertrophic basis. 5. If you are an expert at measuring skinfolds, why are you utilizing the skyndex caliper instead of the Lange caliper? 6. If your philosophy is to focus on “isolating muscles and muscle groups”, then why are combining external rotation of the shoulder joint with hip and leg movements? This is more of a comment than a question. I suppose, for purposes of the video that you took her anthropometric measurements in a public arena. I really hope, that with your other clients, you take anthropometric measurements in private room for "HIPPA" and confidentially reasons. I would really appreciate a professional response which includes physiological and anatomical based rationale for your exercise choices. Thank you.

I love how you pointed out that it was your body and the differences between characters that you played and the age you were when you played them. You definitely showed that other people's body goals could be different and that age does play a factor in how we train and look. It's a very humble and down to earth way you show that although you achieved it, not every one can and that's ok. That we don't have to train as hard as you if we don't want to, but Hollywood has different expectations for characters. I was just telling my friend with a body image issue, that Hollywood stars don't look like super heroes 24/7. That after a role they stay fit but are more normal looking. There are some obvious exceptions like Dave Bautista for whom working out is life but you showed that not only does looking the way you do on screen take a lot of effort, but that you aren't trying to tell everyone else that s how we should look. Your humility and understanding is a stark contrast to many of your characters which only highlights how great of an actor you are to become a different person in body and in character.

[@katyacarmichael8913]

[@Philippadrinkstea]

So I thought that hearing numbers might cause me issues - I've battled anorexia over the years - but then I realised that maybe I could recalibrate my understanding of what a strong woman weighs. I'm so glad I did. I work out 6 days a week, 1 hour a day, so I've been gaining a lot of muscle, but I saw a different doctor than usual the other day and she mentioned that I'd put on a lot of weight (15lbs in a year). Seeing how much more you weigh when you're strong, and that your numbers are comparable to mine, I can see that it truly is muscle gain (I'm still super lean, it's just now I have muscles where I didn't have any before). Her comments could have sent me spiralling, but watching this has helped me fight back against those negative thoughts. Thank you ❤

[@KateeSackhoffOfficial]

Awesome!!! So glad you’re getting stronger mentally and physically. ❤️🙏🏻

[@steffid_]

yes! being easily triggered and offending people for not always putting trigger warnings in videos is actually a huge sign this person is in a bad mental space, so this " trend " to always tell persons to watch out for others instead that they watch out for themselves needs to end. glad you are strong enough to realise that there is no reason to be triggered 😊😊

[@klipser66]

It's not the doctors comments that could send you spiraling it's your own brain. I'm 6'5 male and I can put on and drop 15lb's in a matter of weeks! God's honest truth! We are all different and for her saying that is a lot of weight in a year is bullshit. People say stupid stuff all the time. You can't stop that but you can stop giving it any value! You've beaten it before and you came out stronger! Keep up the good work!

I just read that Katee Sackhoff got the part she plays the voice of in the Clone Wars - of Mandalorian warrior Bo-Katan Kryze - in the Mandalorian Season 2 on Disney+. Pretty amazing, that will be one of the next characters she plays for the first time in live action - even though she has done it for years as a voice. It should be interesting. The other actor brought back as a voice is actor Temuera Morrison-who played Jango Fett in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones-will return to the Star Wars universe to play Boba Fett. Looking forward to it later this year!

Yep, couldn't think anyone better to play Bo-Katan. Although i have to wonder if the work out isn't a bit overkill, given that she will be probably most of the time in a suit of armor. I figure. At any case cant wait to see the clone wars characters come to live action, in the Mandalorian.

Do you know what the true definition of "tone" is? 4. Did she really gain 7 lbs. of muscle in 1 month? Come on, some number fudging took place there. That is extremely rare and difficult to do on an anatomical hypertrophic basis. 5. If you are an expert at measuring skinfolds, why are you utilizing the skyndex caliper instead of the Lange caliper? 6. If your philosophy is to focus on “isolating muscles and muscle groups”, then why are combining external rotation of the shoulder joint with hip and leg movements? This is more of a comment than a question. I suppose, for purposes of the video that you took her anthropometric measurements in a public arena. I really hope, that with your other clients, you take anthropometric measurements in private room for "HIPPA" and confidentially reasons. I would really appreciate a professional response which includes physiological and anatomical based rationale for your exercise choices. Thank you.

Its weird. Listening to the trainer it sounded like he was trying to sculpt her body through training the same way a plastic surgeon would do through surgery. I never thought of weight training that way before.

[@timotivdb2956]

I have actually always thought of it like that. Sculpting my body, shaving of my hair or growing my beard. Especially how different people act/react has always been interesting

[@kittygumdrop7442]

That's exactly how I use it. I have big hips and small shoulders. I made myself feel less pear by building my upper body and strengthening my lower. It slimmed my hips and made my upper body look like it belonged on the same body.

[@craigbigbee6395]

In the early days, bodybuilding was also known as body sculpting.

[@georgewagner2352]

Arnold described it that way in the 1977 documentary, "Pumping Iron". Watch it. Great documentary, the REAL Arnold.

[@meganrichter9748]

Please don't think of training the way this guy talks about it. Yes, you can sculpt your body through training, but if you follow this guy's instruction's, you've got yourself a one-way ticket to chronic joint pain and disordered eating habits.

[@CindyC71]

This is so interesting! I love how dedicated you are to your craft that you train and change your body to fit the different roles 🤩

[@KateeSackhoffOfficial]

All part of the job 👍🏻 Thank you!

[@phenomenalfx2965]

My hat is off to KS for being so open, so honest, so vulnerable about something on a platform where we all know the comments are usually ridiculously bad. Talk about enlightened. Much appreciated!

[@heyricksander]

i worked next door to Steve's gym in 2001 and used to work out there. He looks exactly the same 20 years later. Super great guy.

[@its_stardust]

The last half of this is such an important conversation to have. I used to have a dependency on the scale as well but now, knowing what you guys talk about in here, I don't take my weight to heart like I used to.

[@Kindri9]

@kateesackoff THANK YOU!!! As a woman, this was such an important video to do. And how candidly you talked about the "minor" weight changes being major for a woman of your stature and the different ages. Not to mention towards the end when you brought up the obsession of the weight/fat loss and how it affected your period. All of this is so important for people to understand. Especially for people that obsess over actors and actresses. It took me a while to find my happy weight range and the "extra" weight beyond that for times of stress and crisis. Having dealt with hormone issues and finally resolving them, as well as finding the foods that my body likes, watching something like this reminded me to get back on the wagon of self-care from head to toe. Seeing comments from some of the men on here about how "easy" it is to gain and lose weight made me want to smack them, but whatever. They truly have no idea what it's like to deal with feeling fabulous one day and shitty the next just because your body has other ideas. And the information from the trainer was really helpful.

[@cwhayes1]

This was awesome! I'm going to show my daughter who's 13 and interested in fitness! What a great role model for young women who want to be fit and body positive! Thank you for making this video!

[@Vangelis2019]

I used to think body “sculpting” was just a catchphrase, but this really is tweaking every curve until it’s just right for the required look. 😮

[@Thehamburgler002]

wow! I had no idea you had a KZbin channel. Love you in the "Battlestar Galactica" and "Riddick" tv show growing up! I had no idea that you had a KZbin channel. I feel like movies and TV really inspired my interest in the creative world growing up and I am thankful for for my exposure to these early on.

[@tamarakendrick4461]

So one of the best parts of this is realizing that your “normal” is not always what your characters normal is. It’s only for that role and we as women need to keep that in mind when we compare ourselves to others or to actors. It’s so easy to do, but I know my body composition is much different than some. My “normal” goal weight range is from 140-145, and I look really thin and in shape then (not happening during quarantine though 😂 😬). But to some people, that could be considered overweight. I had to come to terms with that. I was surprised to hear you’re around that weight also most of the time. Good stuff to learn here!

[@stevieboymkii]

Honestly, whilst I think that they should just leave the Terminator franchise well alone now, Katee would be amongst the best actors to play Sarah Connor these days and do the character justice.

[@vitto8112]

Is the same physical structure

[@novembercherry4]

I agree.

[@themann6669]

Dude you are 100% correct

[@lyconxero457]

It's crazy how much this guy knows and understands about the human body and how it shows on camera.

[@soozhicks71]

I love that he said some actors lie and say they eat and drink what they want etc and don't tell you there working out really hard. I love that you let people you don't know see you work hard to get the results you get. Thanks.

[@neli5p]

In every interview or video I've watched of Katee, she comes across as a smart, down to earth, happy and my god ... just simply beautiful woman in every way! Other Hollywood women need to take note ... this is what us real men admire and desire! 😘

[@spreadingthedrewth4643]

yuck she isn't there for you to admire or desire

[@neli5p]

Ijdijsbnmls silence fool.

[@leahkristine]

This was actually really helpful to me!! I have struggled with body dysmorphia and disordered eating. My first instinct seeing Katee on camera is "wow she looks so lean and strong and good" and my first instinct looking at myself in the mirror is "my arms are too flabby, my stomach is too big, etc." but in reality, although I'm 2 inches shorter, our measurements are much the same. Really highlighted that a lot of what I feel is quite literally all in my head.

[@ED-007]

I love Steve. He’s such a rad human.

[@tak178]

This is the first time I've heard a trainer break this down in an understandable way. I'm a couch potato that was trying to lose weight before the pandemic. I was in the gym for 3 months off and on, but didn't have much guidance. I'm refer to this when I get back in. This was great, Katee.

[@panpiper]

Look into keto and OMAD (one meal a day). I went from a 48" waist to a 37" waist with no exercise whatsoever just by correcting my diet, and that's at 61 years old. I do have to do some muscle work though apparently if I want to loose the last two inches off of what I should really be at.

[@kendrms]

@@panpiper I agree with you regarding keto/OMAD. I am 57 y/o, 6'-2", 195 lbs. I do 18:6 intermittent fasting daily with keto. I have two well balanced meals daily over six hours. No snacks in between. I avoid fruit (except berries), starches, grains, sugar, soy, refined carbs and processed foods. I get my groceries delivered. I currently have a daily regimen of two workouts during this COVID-19 quarantine. I go for a bike ride early in the morning and I do a crossfit bodyweight routine in the evening indoors. I keep it simple so I do not have to over think it. Cheers!

[@MichaelBehrnsMiller]

So cute when Katee went to get a drink while Steve was scolding us about it, lol

[@jonmdon2009]

I just like all of her works. She made me a fan of Battle Star, she was great in Longmire (I really miss that series)......Thanks Katee.

[@taylorcoley6329]

I binged the last few seasons of Longmire over a couple weeks here recently. My dad came over and sat down for a minute and started watching. When you came on screen in your uniform he said “ Hot damn, that girls uniform is painted on ain’t it” 😂😂😂😂😂 You look good always Katee! Don’t ever change.

[@The_Incredulous_1]

K.S. is an outstanding actress, every role she has played rocks.

[@marystestkitchen]

"An air fryer is not the same thing" This! Thank you!

[@mrroysir]

Indian pehelwan eat only a vegetarian diet. And these pehelwan are huge on veggies.

[@mrroysir]

Ur channel is nice.

[@DilanGilluly]

Very true! (I haven't gotten to that part yet) Like I tell people, an air fryer is more like a higher speed convection oven and not like a fryer.

[@tomwallen7271]

Air Fryer, also known as a convection oven.

[@jesusoftheapes]

throw a little butter on the team after

[@kurtheil4922]

I didn't know you had a channel and no clue why it suddenly got recommended to me but you are an awesome actress thank you for bringing amazing characters to life.

[@jasoar1563]

Second that!

[@MamaZapha]

OMFG!!! This, this video makes you my super hero . I've NEVER heard anyone talk about bodies this way. It's a total perspective shift - a REALLY important perspective shift. I feel like this is a PSA for the way I think about my body.

[@bookworm3756]

I'm so used to seeing and focusing on functional training. Its fascinating to see aesthetic training.

[@panpiper]

Aesthetically functional I would say. Katee would beat the tar out of me in her aesthetic shape.

[@eden20111]

I first saw you in Bionic Woman! That's when I fell in love! You're criminally underrated and deserve more screentime as a kickass character. You really need to be in a marvel movie.

[@thehipinmyear]

This just popped up on my recommended, so I figure now is as good enough a time as ever to shout out to how amazing Katee looks in the Mandalorian. Literally looks like an action figure. It's crazy! Mad props!

[@gmazing82]

Wow, free Physical Trainer session with one of the best. Even if you already know most of this, its a great reminder if youre languishing

[@shanicedepeza4485]

Thanks to you and Steve Zims this video. I really appreciated him breaking down and explaining the why's.

[@nslater1388]

The reality of bodies is that is takes work, consistence and know how. She clearly has these qualities and know people who can help. This takes effort, people. Appreciate it.
