Robert De Niro’s Penitentiary Workout to prepare for Cape Fear:
De Niro went through extremely high repetition workouts that used exercises that mimicked what a real prisoner would have access to in prison. The 48-year old actor plummeted his body fat percentage to a scant four percent through hundreds of
bodyweight repetitions. After the fitness preparations for the Cape Fear movie concluded, personal trainer Dan Harvey was amazed at the actor’s extreme focus all throughout the training program.De Niro’s program involved all body weight exercises just as a real prisoner would most likely perform while in jail. Body weight
exercises like dips, chin-ups, pull-ups, and push-ups were used in addition to performing 600 crunches a day which sculpted the actor’s abdominals and gave him a total body muscle building workout. Training days were split into pushing and pulling
days. This meant one day was designated for pushing movements like push-ups, dips, and squats and the other training day set
aside for pulling exercises like pull-ups and chin-ups.

There once was a young boy with a very bad temper. The boy’s father wanted to teach him a lesson, so he gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper he must hammer a nail into their wooden fence.
On the first day of this lesson, the little boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. He was really mad!
Over the course of the next few weeks, the little boy began to control his temper, so the number of nails that were hammered into the fence dramatically decreased.
It wasn’t long before the little boy discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Then, the day finally came when the little boy didn’t lose his temper even once, and he became so proud of himself, he couldn’t wait to tell his father.
Pleased, his father suggested that he now pull out one nail for each day that he could hold his temper.
Several weeks went by and the day finally came when the young boy was able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
Very gently, the father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.
“You have done very well, my son,” he smiled, “but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.”
The little boy listened carefully as his father continued to speak.
“When you say things in anger, they leave permanent scars just like these. And no matter how many times you say you’re sorry, the wounds will still be there.”
Parenting: Ruining your nice fence to teach your kid an important lesson
still a valid lesson
