  • I have been lucky enough to build my acting career playing strong, powerful, badass women. And in this episode I'm going to show you how I get the body to back up the attitude!!
    (SPOILER ALERT: for anyone who still hasn't watched Longmire but is planning to, you may want to skip from 4:16 - 4:28 😬but seriously, if you haven't watched it by now that's on you 🤷‍♀️😛)
    A HUGE thank you to Steve Zim for doing this with me!

    This is really damn impressive to see. Not just in how she transformed her body in such a dedicated way, but I can't think of many female actors who would show the truth of it in this way. She essentially spent 45 minutes showing us how she's not "perfect" in a very intimate way. Who the hell does that?!

    I like the fact Katee is maintaining a “healthy” weight. Being in Hollywood, I expected her to be 110lbs, but being around 135+ at her height is very nice. She looks extremely lean and athletic, but not waifish. That’s a great healthy look and it makes her more believable in physical roles.

    So I thought that hearing numbers might cause me issues - I've battled anorexia over the years - but then I realised that maybe I could recalibrate my understanding of what a strong woman weighs.
    I'm so glad I did.
    I work out 6 days a week, 1 hour a day, so I've been gaining a lot of muscle, but I saw a different doctor than usual the other day and she mentioned that I'd put on a lot of weight (15lbs in a year). Seeing how much more you weigh when you're strong, and that your numbers are comparable to mine, I can see that it truly is muscle gain (I'm still super lean, it's just now I have muscles where I didn't have any before).
    Her comments could have sent me spiralling, but watching this has helped me fight back against those negative thoughts.
    Thank you ❤

We are all different and for her saying that is a lot of weight in a year is bullshit. People say stupid stuff all the time. You can't stop that but you can stop giving it any value! You've beaten it before and you came out stronger! Keep up the good work!

    Such a ridiculously helpful video. As someone who suffers from body dysmorphia, it was so nice to hear how much of an actor's body is an "aesthetic." It's part of costuming and it takes a lot of time and energy. To the point that actresses don't even look like that when they're not preparing for a role! It's super unrealistic for a regular, non-actor to compare their body to someone's livelihood. Thank you so much for this honest and realistic look at your body and workout routines!

      I have a few questions for Mr. Steve Zim, because this poor woman is going to have severe shoulder issues in the near future 1. Why in the world are you having her do behind the neck lat pulldowns? 2. Where did you come up with the theory that performing external rotation of the glenohumeral joint will cause observational separation of muscle groups? (And why the overly repetitive execution of such a minor joint movement?)
      3. Do you really believe that side bends (lateral flexion of the trunk) will "tone" the obliques?
      4. Do you know what the true definition of "tone" is? 4. Did she really gain 7 lbs. of muscle in 1 month? Come on, some number fudging took place there. That is extremely rare and difficult to do on an anatomical hypertrophic basis. 5. If you are an expert at measuring skinfolds, why are you utilizing the skyndex caliper instead of the Lange caliper? 6. If your philosophy is to focus on “isolating muscles and muscle groups”, then why are combining external rotation of the shoulder joint with hip and leg movements? This is more of a comment than a question. I suppose, for purposes of the video that you took her anthropometric measurements in a public arena. I really hope, that with your other clients, you take anthropometric measurements in private room for "HIPPA" and confidentially reasons. I would really appreciate a professional response which includes physiological and anatomical based rationale for your exercise choices. Thank you.

I remember doing swim every night 4-6, then driving an hour for a 7-10pm competitive cheer practice. It was insane. I’d be up until 1am completing hw and studying for exams. That was the fittest I’ve ever been, and I weighed 140 lb. That’s the last time I’ve seen that number on a scale, and it took a teenage metabolism and 5 hours of exercise to obtain it because those are my genetics. Yet all of my short friends were 110-115. I felt like the fattest person because I couldn’t achieve those numbers. No one explained to me tall people just weigh more cuz … gravity. I hope some teen girls find this video.

    I love how you pointed out that it was your body and the differences between characters that you played and the age you were when you played them. You definitely showed that other people's body goals could be different and that age does play a factor in how we train and look. It's a very humble and down to earth way you show that although you achieved it, not every one can and that's ok. That we don't have to train as hard as you if we don't want to, but Hollywood has different expectations for characters.
    I was just telling my friend with a body image issue, that Hollywood stars don't look like super heroes 24/7. That after a role they stay fit but are more normal looking. There are some obvious exceptions like Dave Bautista for whom working out is life but you showed that not only does looking the way you do on screen take a lot of effort, but that you aren't trying to tell everyone else that s how we should look. Your humility and understanding is a stark contrast to many of your characters which only highlights how great of an actor you are to become a different person in body and in character.

If your philosophy is to focus on “isolating muscles and muscle groups”, then why are combining external rotation of the shoulder joint with hip and leg movements? This is more of a comment than a question. I suppose, for purposes of the video that you took her anthropometric measurements in a public arena. I really hope, that with your other clients, you take anthropometric measurements in private room for "HIPPA" and confidentially reasons.

The heart is in the center of the body, but the way it's structured causes it to only slightly lean to the left. I don't have numbers but I would guess it's like 1.1 lbs on the left 0.9 on the right.

    I just read that Katee Sackhoff got the part she plays the voice of in the Clone Wars - of Mandalorian warrior Bo-Katan Kryze - in the Mandalorian Season 2 on Disney+. Pretty amazing, that will be one of the next characters she plays for the first time in live action - even though she has done it for years as a voice. It should be interesting. The other actor brought back as a voice is actor Temuera Morrison-who played Jango Fett in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones-will return to the Star Wars universe to play Boba Fett. Looking forward to it later this year!

    @kateesackoff THANK YOU!!! As a woman, this was such an important video to do. And how candidly you talked about the "minor" weight changes being major for a woman of your stature and the different ages. Not to mention towards the end when you brought up the obsession of the weight/fat loss and how it affected your period. All of this is so important for people to understand. Especially for people that obsess over actors and actresses.
    It took me a while to find my happy weight range and the "extra" weight beyond that for times of stress and crisis. Having dealt with hormone issues and finally resolving them, as well as finding the foods that my body likes, watching something like this reminded me to get back on the wagon of self-care from head to toe.
    Seeing comments from some of the men on here about how "easy" it is to gain and lose weight made me want to smack them, but whatever. They truly have no idea what it's like to deal with feeling fabulous one day and shitty the next just because your body has other ideas. And the information from the trainer was really helpful.

Hats off to Katee for putting in the hard work too, as many people don’t realize the amount of self discipline that is required to achieve goals like this.....but that’s also the big difference between success & failure, & why she’s a successful actress, & so many other people who can’t be bothered to exercise regularly sit around being jealous of other people’s success.
    Great video, & I’m sorry that filming got cut short.....I’m looking forward to watching Season 2 of Another Life, & hope you guys can get back to filming soon, once it’s safe of course!

      I have a few questions for Mr. Steve Zim, because this poor woman is going to have severe shoulder issues in the near future 1. Why in the world are you having her do behind the neck lat pulldowns? 2. Where did you come up with the theory that performing external rotation of the glenohumeral joint will cause observational separation of muscle groups? (And why the overly repetitive execution of such a minor joint movement?)
      3. Do you really believe that side bends (lateral flexion of the trunk) will "tone" the obliques?
      4. Do you know what the true definition of "tone" is? 4. Did she really gain 7 lbs. of muscle in 1 month? Come on, some number fudging took place there. That is extremely rare and difficult to do on an anatomical hypertrophic basis. 5. If you are an expert at measuring skinfolds, why are you utilizing the skyndex caliper instead of the Lange caliper? 6. If your philosophy is to focus on “isolating muscles and muscle groups”, then why are combining external rotation of the shoulder joint with hip and leg movements?
