‘We worked with big weights and, at the same time, exercises that improve functional movement,’ she told the publication.   

‘We were swimming, we were climbing ropes, we were doing burpees, we were doing a lot of moving and acceleration,’ she added. 

‘It’s a mix of everything that really helps, and my body started to change a lot in just four weeks.’

Elsa told News Corp recently that she has been rehearsing moves for the film using a toy pistol at home with Chris and their three children.

She said: ‘I brought home a toy gun to practice with and was showing my kids a fight I have to do and they were really excited. Especially my daughter, who has two brothers who keep telling her ‘we’re stronger than you’ and she says ‘no way!’
