Playing a starring role in a popular superhero feature, Alexandra Shipp knew she had to go through physical training that’s more intense than her usual workout routine. While she already considers herself an active person with her gym exercises and outdoor runs, she also wanted to tone her muscles and improve her strength to prepare for her role as Storm in X-Men.

To do this, she adopted a healthier diet plan and worked with a trainer. Her workout routine during this period included a lot of weightlifting. She also combined this with yoga and Pilates to improve her form. Even after the film, Shipp continues to take care of her body with similar fitness regimen.
