Javon “Wanna” Walton is a young actor and amateur boxer full of potential. Net look at his Instagram for some of his intense workouts and fights.
But he is much more conspicuous for his work outside the ring. You may recognize Walton, now 15, from his roles as a premature actor on Amazon Utopia and HBOs Euphoria. When he’s not working on his acting chops, he’s training in his home gym for his next game. Last year, he recently spent his entire workout with Men’s health.
“It’s very important to push yourself as hard as possible during exercise if you want to get better,” says Walton. “Do not just go through the motions.”
The Warming
Assault Bike Interval Training
8 laps (20 seconds on, 10 seconds off)
Walton begins his workout by warming up on an Air Assault Bike, going as hard as he can for 20 seconds and then “cruising” during 10 seconds of rest.
The workout
5 rounds each (1 minute each)
Walton begins his workout with some bodyweight exercises.
1A: Bear crawling
He notes that it is good for your whole body.
1B: Handstand steps
Walton says he does it because it’s good for your core, shoulders and chest. If you have any shoulder problems yourself – or if you have not yet mastered a handstand – you should endure this exercise.
1C: Plank Jumping Jacks
Walton includes this move because it is good for his muscular endurance and core.
Response Bag Training
1 lap (5 minutes)
After wrapping his hands, he hits the bag.
“It’s a lot of fun to play around with. It does not feel like practicing,” Walton says.
Heavy bag training
6 rounds (3 minutes each)
“This is where I want to push myself the hardest,” says Walton. “It’s very important for both boxing and acting, because fight scenes in acting can take a very long time, up to hours. So I want to push myself so I can have good endurance.
Weightlifting
Walton says he does not do much weight lifting, but when he does, he keeps it low weight, high rep.
1: Death blow
3 sets of 20 repetitions
2: Squat
3 sets of 20 repetitions
Jump Rope Cool
1 lap, 6 minutes
For his cooling off, Walton grabs a jump rope.
“A lot of people use jump rope as a warm-up. I like to use it as a cooling off. I feel like this is a good time to think about what you did well and the things you can improve on,” said Walton. “It’s almost like a little meditation.”
