As a Pro Football Hall-of-Famer, Strahan was already pretty physically fit. But Mitchell has helped transform his body into tip-top shape, skyrocketing his confidence and muscle tone to conquer the silver screen — shirtless.

But that trim transformation doesn’t come overnight, even if you’re a celebrity.

“The best weight-loss tip I can give is being patient,” Mitchell told ABC News. “If someone gains weight over the last 10 years, they want to lose it. All of a sudden they want to lose it now. So be patient and start eliminating things slowly, and the weight will definitely come off.”

Now Mitchell is giving our ABC’s Good Morning America viewers a free personal training session live on the ABC News website, helping to continue the new workout while you watch the series called All-Access Celebrity Workout. It’s another 30-minute livestream workout that you can do right along with us from the comfort of your own home.

Take a look at Mitchell’s extra workout tips to keep you in A-list shape:

  1. It’s not important how you got to be this way, it’s important that you are taking care of yourself now.
  2. Break the scale obsession and its emotional and eating roller-coaster — instead look at how your clothes fit and how you feel.
  3. Be kind to yourself — congratulate yourself on accomplishments and forgive your failures.
  4. Renew your commitment to taking good care of yourself every day.
  5. Eat to live, don’t live to eat.”

As with any exercise routine, if you have any concerns about starting a workout regime, check with your health care professional to see whether it’s right you.
