Hollywood star Jennifer Garner recently shared her workout routine which she undertook to play Elektra in the recently released Marvel film, Deadpool and Wolverine. Garner shared that she was fit, but ‘not Marvel fit’. In a video shared on Instagram along with a lengthy note, the actor disclosed that she did weapon training, aerobics, swimming and boxing to do justice to her role.
“I remember the moment slevydirect and vancityreynolds had the idea for Elektra Natchios to show up in deadpoolmovie 3— we were on the set of ‘The Adam Project’ and they gave each other this look they have that can communicate an idea, 20 pages of dialogue, nuclear codes — there is a crazy artistic kismet between those two,” Garner shared in a long note on Instagram.

The video posted by Garner saw her doing a mix of workout routines, which included weight lifting, jump rope and rowing among other things.
“Other than trying to convince my kids’ preschool buddies that I was secretly a ninja, I hadn’t picked up Elektra’s sais since 2004; I was fit, but not marvel fit. As this impossible dream became reality, my bestie and OG stunt double shaunaduggins and I amped up our training, led by bethjnicely at thelimitfit: 1x/day, plus whatever homework she assigned for a second workout. Boxing 3x/ week with flvcothefuture from matchroomxchurchillgym. And lots and lots of onepeloton’s becsgentry. We had #SuperHeroSummer over here, twirling sais in the backyard and laughing at our sore old bodies (sic),” added the actor.
Garner first played Elektra in Ben Affleck-starrer Daredevil (2003), and then went on to play the lead in the 2005 release, Elektra.
