Celebrity Trainer, Workout & Diet
To put on the muscle that “defies age,” Bruce has to train hard for it.
To get in shape for Die Hard, he did hour-long cardio and strength sessions nearly every day for three months before filming.
Bruce’s trainer Gunnar Peterson, one of LA’s most sought-after trainers working with celebrities, prepared the actor for the shooting.
The trainer’s main principle is consistency, as Gunnar mentioned in an interview:
People Trying To Right A Lifetime Of Wrongs Two Weeks Before A Deadline. Overhauling Their Lives Instead Of Improving It Piece By Piece In A Way That Will Work For The Long-Term.

Training
Bruce Willis’ workout plan is a balanced mix of exercises that help him maintain his strength and physique as he gets older.
The training program mostly consists of:
- Cardio (for general fitness and reduced body fat)
- Exercises with a stability ball (for strength and flexibility)
- A mix of exercises, daily
Diet
First of all, protein is key. Bruce’s meals include these options:
- Fish
- Chicken
- Turkey
- Beans
- Egg whites
Plus, there’s always fruits, veggies, and tons of water.
And of course, Bruce avoids the following:
- Processed foods
- Refined sugars
- Fruit juices
How can a super busy person commit to a workout plan on a regular basis? Gunnar Peterson gives this piece of advice: “Write it in PEN! Treat it like an appointment, a job interview, or an oversold airline flight — don’t be late and don’t miss it.”
So, next time you see Bruce and wonder, Wow! Great body at this age!, you know what you should do.
Happy birthday, Bruce! Stay awesome.
