Channing Tatum Workout – Get Lean And Toned

Channing Tatum workout

Channing Tatum is killing it this year. He already appeared in the popular chick flick The Vow, and he’s set to star in the upcoming 21 Jump Street remake along with the super anticipatedG.I. Joe: Retaliation.

If I had to describe Channing Tatum’s body in 2 words, they would be lean and toned.

Channing doesn’t have a lot of muscle mass

I’m sure many you guys have noticed that Channing Tatum actually doesn’t have a lot of muscle mass. In fact, Channing is probably one of the least muscular celebrities out there. When put next to guys like Dwayne Johnson or even Joe Manganiello, Channing is tiny.

But what Channing lacks in muscularity, he makes up for in leanness.

Don’t be big and bulky

There’s a reason that women absolutely love Channing Tatum and that’s besides the fact that the man has a near perfect facial structure.

Women like Channing Tatum’s body because he is lean and not too bulky. This may come to a surprise to you, but women do not like it when you’re more fat than muscular.

Too many guys these day try to “bulk up” as a way to get a better body, but in reality, bulking up is the worst thing you can. When you bulk up, you’re eating a bunch of calories and you’re just putting on fat.

I mean, be honest with yourself, when has bulking actually resulted in pure muscle gains. Most guys who bulk just get fat and they rationalize their fatness by saying that they’re bulking.

How you should eat

If you follow the Channing Tatum workout above then you need to watch your diet as well. The most important to do is to make sure you’re not constantly eat in a caloric surplus.

Please please please!!!

Bulking as a way to build muscle just isn’t worth it. Trust me, you’re just going to gain more fat than muscle. The best thing to do is to push hard in the gym and to just eat at your maintenance level every day which you can calculate by multiplying your bodyweight in pounds by 15 kcals.
