Dakota Johnson's Trainer Reveals the Exact Workout She Did For Fifty Shades Freed

Dakota Johnson has kept herself in fine shape as she wraps up the Fifty Shades trilogy. Last time around, Dakota was doing some serious plyo to prep for Fifty Shades Darker, so naturally we've been eager to know what her routine was for the final installment, Fifty Shades Freed. And it only makes sense that you'd want to be feeling and looking your best when you spend so much time on camera without clothes, don't you think? We chatted with Dakota's on-set personal trainer, Ramona Braganza, who created a workout for Dakota that "focused on posture, for length on camera." She told POPSUGAR that these moves were geared toward "shaping shoulders and arms, and accentuating a small, tight waist."

Ramona's method — the 321 training method — consists of three cardio segments, two circuits, and one core exercise. "For this particular workout, when doing the cardio segments, we [used] the rowing machine: a powerful cardio [machine], which is great for warming up the back, shoulders, and arms while using core muscles to stabilize the body," she said.
