I'm Sorry, Kate Beckinsale Is Doing Squats Over WHAT?
Kate Beckinsale shared a workout video on Instagram Friday of herself doing weighted overhead squats.
In the video, Kate is seen squatting over a toilet, that her trainer Gunnar Peterson put below the squat rack.
Kate, 45, is known to work out regularly, doing circuit training, cardio, and lots of abs workouts.
Doing squats the right way can be tricky. But apparently Kate Beckinsale’s trainer seems to have a trick for helping his clients keep good form, and its...interesting.
Kate, 45, shared a video on Instagram Friday of herself doing squats at the gym. At first, it looks like your standard gym vid until you take a closer look-and read the caption. “What sets @gunnarfitness apart from other trainers is not just the fact he’ll suddenly install a loo under the squat rack to entertain himself but it is a portion of it,” Kate wrote.
In the video, you can see her doing barbell overhead squats (go Kate!), while touching her butt to an actual toilet, which, tbh, gives a whole new meaning to a squat exercise.

Btw, the @gunnarfitness she tagged is Gunnar Peterson, a celebrity trainer who's worked with Khloe Kardashian, Chris Hemsworth, Amber Heard, J.Lo, and many, many others.
Kate looks straight-up amazing (and pretty hardcore), but she’s made it clear that she works hard to look that good. She recently told Delish that she regularly does circuit training, cardio, and lots of ab workouts. She also looks at exercising as "nature’s antidepressant." Kate also even makes time for yoga between all those sweat sessions (sometimes even accompanied by goats!).

But a big part of her fitness is probably the fact that she's super dedicated to working out. Gunnar told Us Weekly last year that Kate always goes all in at the gym. “Kate is a six-day-a-week person,” he said. “She’s definitely up there among my hardest workers. I mean every single day is push, push, push.”
As for her toilet squats-they're definitely unconventional, but hey, whatever works!
