Say it aint so Dexter fans, this infamous TV series is in its eighth and FINAL<\/strong> season. Unfortunately, any top-notch television groupie knows that a final season calls for some main characters to get \u00a0killed off- except of course the Game of Thrones<\/em>, the main characters are just dropping like flies.<\/p>\n

So, will this suspenseful season keep Dexter and Debra Morgan alive till the very end?\u00a0OR\u2026 could the two characters overcome the odds and survive due to their exceptional workout routine and committed diet? I’m definitely thinking the producers will go with option number 2.<\/p>\n

Well, Jennifer Carpenter certainly may out run them. The fit TV celeb has been a runner since grade school and trained for her first New York City Marathon<\/strong> in just few weeks.<\/p>\n

According to Self Magazine, the Dexter<\/em> star stated “I was deep into shooting the fifth season at the time, so I tried to manage 5-8 miles<\/strong> a day and a two and a half hour run on a Saturday or Sunday.” “The second part of marathon training is running with your mind” Carpenter recommends the book, \u201cBorn to Run,\u201d by Christopher McDougall’s for inspiration.<\/p>\n

When she\u2019s not running outside, she works out at the Equinox and looks to mix up her workouts with classes like Physique 57 and SoulCycle. According to New Beauty, the star believes her diet is all about balance. \u201cI find that when I eat cleaner, organic foods, I have a lot more energy<\/strong> and am generally a nicer person. Consuming good food makes me feel good but so does some indulgence, which is why I like to focus on keeping a healthy balance.\u201d<\/p>\n
