Henry Cavill’s Superhuman Secrets To Staying In Shape
Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt Of Rivia in the hit Netflix series The Witcher has captivated audiences worldwide. The British actor’s dedication to embodying the iconic monster hunter is evident not only in his acting but also in his impressive physique. According to an article from The Edge, Cavill follows a rigorous fitness regimen and healthy lifestyle to maintain his superhero-like body. Here’s a peek into the wellness habits that keep him ready to take on any beast or battle.
“I will have different workouts for different parts of the week”
The Superman actor hits the gym six days a week, focusing on different muscle groups each session. He starts with legs, then chest and triceps, back, and finally shoulders and biceps. His trainer, Dave Rienzi incorporates exercises like isometric hold bicep curls to build muscle while reducing injury risk. Cavill also does fasted cardio in the mornings to stay lean.
Powered by Protein and Pre-Workout
As the Chief Creative Director at MuscleTech supplements, Cavill relies on their products to fuel his workouts. He starts the day with a protein shake before hitting the gym.
Simple, Clean Eating With Occasional Cheat Days
The 41-year-old Brit’s diet is straightforward – lots of protein from chicken, beef, and shakes, paired with rice and sweet potatoes. He aims to eat clean most of the time but allows himself the occasional deep-dish pizza on cheat days. Cavill is also a big fan of No1 Botanicals rosemary water, which has been linked to improved memory and cognitive function.
Rest, Recovery, and Mental Resilience
Even Geralt needs his beauty sleep. Cavill aims for 8 hours per night when possible to keep his body and mind sharp. He also emphasises the importance of mental health, focusing on what he can control and embracing convenience to minimise stress. Cavill believes we all have the strength and resilience within us to become our best selves, whether we’re slaying monsters or tackling everyday challenges.
While fans were saddened to learn that Cavill would be stepping down from his role as Geralt in future seasons of The Witcher, they can look forward to seeing him take on another iconic character. Cavill is set to star in the upcoming reboot of the classic film Highlander, where his dedication to fitness and acting will undoubtedly bring a fresh perspective to the beloved franchise.
