Parker Young Workout

Parker Young is an up and coming actor who’s definitely been making his rounds on the small screen. Starring in two recent hit TV comedies, Suburgatory and Enlisted, this guy’s really starting to make a name for himself.

But whether he’s playing a jock neighbor on Suburgatory or a military officer on Enlisted, he needs to stay in top shape. And there’s no doubt that this 24-year old actor knows a thing or two about fitness.

In a recent interview, Young discussed how much work it is to stay lean and fit. As a former high school football captain, he’s no stranger to staying in shape. But his TV roles require even more attention, and a totally different approach.

The goal is to stay ripped, and that’s why Parker Young says he’s now addicted to CrossFit.

So if you have similar goals of getting toned and ripped without bulking up, I’ve got a CrossFit inspired workout to help you out. Taking the approach of Parker’s TV body routine, this workout is great for anyone wanting to burn fat and build lean muscle.

A Parker Young Diet to Match

Of course, to stay toned and ripped, you need a good diet to match. Young had 3 basic principles he sticks by when it comes to eating right.

First, he likes to eat clean, and adopts many of the principles of The Paleo Diet. Second, he relies a lot on protein shakes to support muscle growth and improve his recovery. And last but not least, he’s not afraid of sitting down to a massive meal from time to time – what he calls fueling up.
