      How The Fittest Hollywood Actors Get Fit

      How 10 Of The Fittest Men In Hollywood Maintain Their Impressive Physiques

      You're watching an action-packed movie, chomping down on popcorn and wiping the grease off your fingers to reach for your soda. A super buff male actor takes his shirt off, and you can't help but notice his chiseled abs and bulging pecs. You glance at your girl and her eyes have the same glimmer as yours when you are watching Margot Robbie on the big screen. You dust the popcorn crumbs off your shirt and tell yourself you're hitting the gym first thing in the morning.

      Sorry to break it to you, but bench pressing a couple of days a week won't get you a Hollywood physique. Some of these ripped actors spend hours a day training for roles. But the good news is that some of them have pretty achievable fitness routines. With a bit of dedication and consistency, a regular guy can aim for similar results. 

      So in the spirit of awards season, here are ten of the fittest male actors and what they do to stay in shape. These celebrity fitness tips might inspire you to train harder — or train smarter.

      Idris Elba

      The 43-year-old British actor has been doing kickboxing for over a decade. He graced the cover of Men's Health in December 2015 and shared his fitness philosophy with the magazine. Elba doesn't believe in being fit just for the sake of looking good. He loves kickboxing because it allows him to be fight-ready and have the ability to defend himself. 

      That being said, sweating it out in the ring will get you ripped in no time. Elba recommends shadowboxing for an efficient, equipment-free workout.
