‘This Is the Most Intense Workout’: Lori Harvey Reveals Which of Her ‘Little’ Workouts Humbled Boyfriend Michael B. Jordan 

Posted byBy Angelina Velasquez | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Lori Harvey may not have the muscle mass of her boyfriend Michael B. Jordan, but she is definitely putting in work at the gym.

The model-entrepreneur is known to leave fans fawning over her beauty, but also her toned physique. Jordan has proven he can put his body to the test with his physical transformations for the “Creed” films; but Harvey says there is one workout that caught him by surprise.

“When I started Pilates he was like, ‘Oh okay that little workout you doing is not that serious,’” she told celebrity makeup artist Patrick Starr. In fact, Harvey and Jordan have been known to work out together. In January, the 25-year-old wowed fans while in the ring with Jordan. Still, Harvey says nothing compares to Pilates.  

“I was like, ‘No, this is the most intense workout I’ve ever done in my life.’ And he was like, ‘yeah, yeah whatever.’ ” Harvey invited her beau to join her so that he could find out just how “not serious” it really is. 

“I was like, ‘You should just come with me and see.’ He was like, ‘okay,’ ” she recalled. “When I tell you he died, he died and had so much interest in it after that. He was like, ‘Oh, okay this is different.’ He was like, ‘I feel muscles that I’ve never used before.’ And like he’s muscular, he works out, he’s in the gym … He went for a couple weeks with me until he had to start back filming again.”

Jordan is currently working on “Creed III,” which will see him reprise his role as Adonis Creed, as well as making his directorial debut. The film is slated to hit theaters Nov. 23, and will introduce Jonathan Majors as Jordan’s on-screen rival. Photos snapped by fans as production took place on a beach in Southern California show Jordan is not the only one who has transformed their physique for the film with the help of trainer Corey Calliet — who trained Jordan for each of the series’ installments . For Majors, his role in “Creed III” will be his first accompanied with such physical demands. 

“I got punched in the face about 100 times, but it’s all OK!,” he told Variety. The film is slated to hit theaters on Nov. 23. 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
