Tiffany Haddish is training with Flo-Jo’s husband Al Joyner to perfect her technique in new Biopic Tiffany Haddish is taking her role in Flo-Jo’s Biopic seriously by training alongside Flo-Jo’s husband, Al Joyner. She said, “Some days it’s really strenuous. Some days it’s like ‘come on give me another challenge!’ But he’s definitely taught me a lot.” Tiffany continued, “The technique is everything. Her technique was impeccable and I mean if you look at the young lady who broke one of her records with that technique, it’s all about form. Once you get that down, the speed will come. Getting to know him and the family on that journey has been quite interesting.” Tiffany did reveal that Flo-Jo’s discipline is incredible and has been a struggle to emulate since preparing for this role. She said, “Mind you Flo Jo did this over the course of 15 years. I’m trying to get it in like 2 to 3? So, let’s just put that out there. I have been changing the way I eat for sure and definitely blocking off time to workout and do training…I lost 40 pounds and then I got a little bit in my feelings about some stuff going on in real life and gained 15. Now I lost about 10 of that, so you know it’s a journey.” What is one of your new goals for 2022? What are some things you want to incorporate into your self-care routine?
