When it comes to working out, Kaley Cuoco doesn’t miss a beat. Recently, the Flight Attendant actress crushed a stair workout with her trainer, Ryan Sorensen, and other friends Anna Marie Kupp and Monette Moio on Instagram. “Steps are no joke – ladies worked hard – fun to get outside- hot as sh*t – lots of bugs,” read Sorensen’s caption on Instagram, where he shared clips from the session.
Even so, completing such intense workouts requires motivation, and Sorensen says it’s all about getting clear on Cuoco’s goals. “The biggest thing is setting a goal and checking in on your goal periodically,” he says.
Cuoco adjusts her goals for the different roles she's playing. For instance, for season two of Flight Attendant, Sorensen says it was all about high-intensity workouts. "Her training regimen consisted of high-intensity circuit full-body training, like cardio, strength training, and lots of core twice a week," he says. "Hot yoga once a week, and a couple of days a week she would ride (cycling), which is a beast of a workout."
As her stair workout suggests, Cuoco has no intentions of slowing down, according to Sorensen. "We are currently training for an action role later this year, so we have really ramped up her training. Basically, she takes one day off a week and trains six days a week," he says. "My job is to always be in communication with her, keep her motivated with result-driven targets, and always listen to her body to make sure we are doing what her body can handle at any given point."
Even if you're not training to star in an action movie, adding a stair workout to your routine is a great way to switch things up and improve muscular strength and cardio health. If you're game, try hitting some different movements on the stairs, as outlined by Sorensen, next time you're at the gym, the park, or even at home.
