10 Jacked Celebrities Share Their Best Full-Body Workouts

To get into shape for Bond, Daniel Craig embarked on a gruelling training regime that saw the actor start every week with a Monday full-body power circuit that combined muscle-blasting moves into a workout. The rest of the week was for chest, arms, shoulders, legs and other key muscle groups with some active rest scheduled for the weekend.

Cavill lost fat while building muscle for his role in Netflix’s The Witcher. He told Men’s Health, “Because I was training hard in the gym throughout the whole process, it became difficult for any injuries to heal. You stress the muscles so much when you’re super-dehydrated and tired at the end of the day that little things can happen, like muscle pulls, which never quite go away.” He admits the regime was gruelling, but he certainly looked the part. His fitness routine changed constantly but saw Cavill hit the gym five days a week, with fasted cardio for six days.
