I thought it’d be easy.

When I came across an article sharing the exact workout routine Gal Gadot followed to prepare for “Wonder Woman 1984,” I was immediately intrigued — I love trying new things — but I was also overconfident.

As someone who’s been lifting weights* and walking 10k steps daily for years, as someone who’s achieved and maintained a lean, athletic physique (you can see my current appearance below on day 14 of this challenge) for almost 5 years, I thought this would be a walk in the park.

Surely I could handle training like Wonder Woman.

Ha!

For the two weeks I tried Gadot’s routine, I was constantly bombarded with new challenges and realizations about how I’d been approaching training, which is what I’ll share in this post, covering:

• The day-to-day experience.
• Gadot’s fitness and eating routine.
• The key insights I learned.
• My results.
• Whether it was worth it, including the overall pros and cons.
