Stefano Accorsi and the ultra physicist defined by holistic training. His personal trainer: “The sculpted abdominal is the consequence of a conscious approach to physical activity”

If on the one hand there are those who live training and the search for the perfect body as an obsession with the limit of vigor (it seems at least 60 thousand Italians suffer), on the other there are those who have understood that physical activity must not pursue aesthetics at all costs, but well -being.

This is the case of the actor Stefano Accorsi54 years old, which on his Instagram profile has published some images where he shows himself in great shape: dry and toned physicist, sculpted abdominals, well -defined bibs. Thanks to the commitment (he manages to raise up to 140 kilos and also trains at 5 in the morning) carried out under the guidance of the coach Antonio Saccinto, But above all thanks to the holistic approach to the training that the personal trainer, at his side for ten years, has transmitted to him and that he puts concepts such as balance and awareness in the foreground.

“I love waking up early and enjoying the first rays of the sun, the silence there is. And then doing in the open air, preferably two even remotely, because sharing is important and helps a lot », writes on the post, mentioning his coach and friend.

Antonio Saccinto’s “holistic” approach

But what does the training method adopted by Antonio Saccinto has different?

Today it runs Marathon, has participated in several Ironman competitions, trains famous people and organizes online sessions for selected customers. And always, for him, The strength of the mind comes first of all.

“The mind has three great components: the cognitive, the emotional and the connective one with the exterior that determines who we are in society, in the world,” he explained. “We have to know how we work. It is necessary to change mentality. The sculpted abdominal is a consequence of the conscious approach to physical activity ».

With Stefano Accorsi, who follows both physically and food, the coach creates always different training sessions, but who have all a common denominator: The union between physical well -being and mental balance.

“They can be 5 in the morning or 6 in the evening: we find ourselves and train,” said Saccinto. “We are lucky enough to stay close. We put on the coffee and relax for a quarter of an hour with a little introspective chatter, then we start with our routine ».

The one currently adopted with Stefano alternates free body circuits and circuits with weights, as well as a little cardio training concentrated on the HIIT style.
