Sam Heughan Workout Regimen
To get into Highland warrior shape, six-foot-three-inch Heughan had to hit the gym. Before filming began, Heughan was around 82 to 84 kilograms (180 to 185 pounds). He told Men’s Fitness, “ I was doing a lot of running; I ran for a charity team and did a lot of marathon running, but I had to look a bit bigger and I needed to look like someone who could take care of himself. He (Jamie) is an outdoors man and a warrior.”
To look impressive for his on-screen role as Jamie, Heughan, spent six weeks in London at a CrossFit gym. His fitness regimen was designed by a trainer who helped him with the necessary deadlifts, Olympic lifts, and conditioning. This helped the actor achieve his ripped looks and an enviable physique. It is no wonder that there are many fans are not only drooling over his looks, but also following his fitness regimen on the Internet.
Heughan loves running, and is a veteran of several half and full marathons. The actor also required to look lean for scenes where Jamie gets captured and is put in prison. To achieve a leaner look, the actor incorporated Paleo workouts to his routine.
Heughan has impressively maintained both losing weight and gaining weight for his on-screen roles. For the second season of Outlander, Heughan hit the gym to fiercely pack 15 to 20 pounds of muscle to get back into Jamie Fraser shape. In season 3 the characters, Jamie and Claire, will be getting older, and Heughan said, “I’m going to take it upon myself to age ungracefully. I think Fat Jamie is what everyone wants to see.”

To compliment his Highland warrior workout regimen, Heughan, tried to keep his diet clean. His diet included sweet potatoes, chicken, and peanut butter. These are staples which helped him with muscle growth.
He also admits that while shooting, his weight varied. He said, “ … when you are on location … good nutrition can be hard to find.” He started taking supplements and carried protein bars which would supply his body with the essential nutrition and give him his required look.
