The Alternative WDW Daily Regimen for Jake Gyllenhaal

Yesterday's revelations about the daily exercise and food regimen that Jake Gyllenhaal is being put through in order to cut the mustard as a sword-wielding, armour-toting Persian Prince on the run, has just worn me out, let alone Jake.


For six days every week, Jake is up before the blackbirds, chipping the ice off his running shoes and running hell for leather up a hill with nothing but a gallon of protein shakes, half a banana and an ex-Royal Marine for company. With relief, I realise that today, Sunday, is quite possibly that one day off a week and today Jake is spared having to cut one square of dark chocolate into 24 pieces while having his muscles contorted in a deep tissue massage. I have an Alternative Sunday Regimen for Jake.


It's cold and dark in Britain at the moment, and so I recommend that Jake spends at least one hour catching up on the latest PS3 and Wii games - challenging a Wii to golf is a far more sensible way to use up calories than sprinting up a hill. Jake can also check out PoP's opposition and make Lara Croft do handstands.


An hour and a half should be spent reading - magazines, survival guides, military history and eastern philosophy.


Obviously, if Jake has been given Disney Digs with an indoor heated swimming pool, then this would be a great environment in which to catch up on the reading.


Ten hours should be allotted to sleeping - preferably in a bed with a lot of pillows and a thick downy quilt.




Two hours should be spent catching up with friends and family.


A good hour in the morning and then another in the evening should be spent surfing and shopping online, catching up on WDW and reading the news from home.


Sunday lunch should be spent in the company of friends and should feature at least some refined sugars. As Jake is in England, he should endeavour to work his way through traditional British pub fayre, including Yorkshire Pud, bangers and mash, and Spotted Dick with a pint of best.


One leisurely walk should be fitted in between dinner and a nap - ideally, one would take one's dog along. A good way to meet people.



A little light shopping would be a good way to work off more of lunch.


A good hour should be spent listening to music (especially Snow Patrol's new album).


It is recommended that Jake spends some time exploring his adopted PoP home, getting out into the streets of London or into the countryside. All effort should be made to blend in.


In the evening, time should be spent on rewatching the classics on television.
