Jackie Chan presented Sony Sood a stretching machine, so he could become more flexible to perform action scenes better and faster
Sonu Sood who is currently shooting for Jackie Chan's forthcoming Hollywood film, Kung Fu Yoga in Beijing (China) was pleasantly surprised when Chan created a make shift gym for the cast and crew, along with a 8-feet custom made stretching machine for the actor to help in his workouts.
Sonu says, "The schedule has been hectic, leaving the actors little time to workout in a proper gym, Jackie Chan's Stunts (JCS) team put together a gym for the cast and crew on location. And JS himself gave me a stretch machine to work out with as he felt I would get faster and acquire more strength and stamina. I have never worked out on something like this before. It has five different levels for stretching – increasing the stretches till the body gets used to working out on the whole machine. I get to practice in between shots. The machine helps me get quicker and stronger for the action sequences. JCS has over four lakh stunt guys all over the world with Jackie himself training even sixth generation children. His ambition is to make everybody super strong and super fast."
According to Sonu many people are under the impression that muscles make them stronger which is a myth in reality. "Jackie works on tendons more than muscles as they make the body stronger. While working on his films one has to be super quick like his team so I had been training every day. I am more into stretching now and not weight training. Now that I am back in Mumbai I want to make sure that we have them installed in my building too and at the gym where I work out. People here are missing out on this machine which is a natural strength and flexibility builder. A lot of people in my gym are following my routines so I want them to follow my stretch building routines too. 100 per cent of your muscle fibers can be targeted, as opposed to 40 per cent without the machine. Being able to stimulate up to 100 per cent of your muscle fibers allows for gains in speed, strength, vertical, and also allows for proper recovery post workout or competition. So it can be used through Whole Body Vibration to increase flexibility, strength, bone density, and much more." If Jackie Chan says, it's good, it's good. No argument.
