A star in the stage show of Magic Mike in Australia has shared the daily diet that keeps him looking and feeling his best, despite gruelling long hours on and off stage.
Petr Fedorovskii, from Sydney, said while he has always been active and loved sports including surfing and outdoor training, he has tweaked his meals in the past few months in order to get ‘show fit’.
‘I have definitely altered my diet to really prepare my body for what’s to come. Limiting the cakes and cutting out the beer,’ Petr told Body & Soul.
The Magic Mike stage show, currently showing in Sydney, is based on the 2012 American comedy film about the world of male stripping, which starred Channing Tatum in the titular role.

Petr said he typically starts each day with a freshly-made celery juice on an empty stomach, which is good for water retention, hydration and electrolytes.
Following the celery juice, Petr said it’s all about ‘consistent meals’ and dedication with his training.
He might have a bowl of porridge with chia seeds, nuts and berries for breakfast alongside three or four eggs and two yolks.
Petr supplements this with men’s multivitamins, fish oil, greens powder and probiotcis.
‘Your stomach health is key to absorbing those vitamins and minerals throughout the day,’ he said.

At lunch and dinnertime, the Magic Mike star said he always includes a mix of ‘good lean protein, loads of veggies and fruit’.
A go-to meal is a Mediterranean-style salad with buckwheat, seasoned with lemon juice, olive oil and Himalayan sea salt.
While he tries not to snack too mindlessly, Petr said he always keeps healthy snacks at hand so he doesn’t go hungry.
Bananas, apples, bars, nuts, protein shakes and BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) are all ‘essential’ when he is training.
A typical week of workouts for the dancer (pictured) will see him do all sorts including surfing, outdoor calisthenics, bike rides, beach runs, gym sessions and heavy weights sessions

‘I believe in variety and creativity with my workouts. It’s good to look good and see the results but it’s more important about how you feel inside and creating longevity in your health and my career,’ he said.
Petr trains for around an hour and a half at a time, but also includes plenty of stretching and yoga so his muscles don’t get too fatigued and over-tired.
Petr originally comes from Russia, which is where he completed his training in the performing arts.
Skilled in the areas of aerial flying, fitness and dance, he has appeared in the iconic Tchaikovsky Concert Hall, on television in Russia and China, and travelled the world performing aboard first-class cruise liners during his years on the stage.
