SEVENTEEN MAGAZINE: KELLAN LUTZ REVEALS HIS WORKOUT SECRETS
Kellan Lutz stopped by the Seventeen Magazine studio recently to talk about his workout routine, how he likes to turn things into games to make it more fun and less work, how he loves to workout and swim with his dog Cola (irony?) and more:
“I get bored when I’m in the gym,†Kellan told the mag. “I usually can’t just lift weights without music. I get bored easily — I always have to be doing something active.â€So what sport, in particular, does Kellan like to sink his teeth into?
“I hate to run so for all the runners out there, I hate you. But I love to swim. I’m a fish, I have a pool in my backyard so every morning I will go swimming, even when it’s colder I’ll try to,†he explained. “I’ll have my dog swim with me but usually she doesn’t go under the water so we usually play a game… I play with my dog for a workout. It’s great. A lot of times I’m a loner, so I have to play games with myself.â€
In addition, Kellan wears a pedometer to track how far he walks each day and how many calories he burns.
“I wear this thing as much as I can just for fun. It’s a motivator,†he added.
He also offered up some tips for more sedentary activities, like watching TV.
“If you watch TV a lot, it’s always good to not be a coach potato and do push-ups or crunches or lift some weights when the commercials are happening,†Kellan said.
Overall, Kellan said his philosophy to working out is all about having fun.
“Make games. Enjoy. Don’t be lazy… Try to find something that you’re into — running hiking, biking, swimming… Just make it fun,†he noted.

I think Kellan’s workout tips are great. I think it’s really smart to turn things into fun games and I love that he gets his dog involved. Kellan obviously isn’t looking too shabby so I’m not one to turn down his tips. What do you think about Kellan’s tips? Will you actually try some of them out?
