Henry Cavill's 13 Best Instagram Fitness Posts

He really is “super.”

August 2018 Men’s Journal cover star Henry Cavill plays Superman on the big screen, but when he’s working out in the gym, he looks like he might as well have real-life superpowers. Cavill got himself in fantastic shape to play the legendary hero in Man of Steel, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League, making it totally believable that he was a super-strong alien from the planet Krypton.

 

 

He also got himself in prime shape to play a CIA operative in Mission: Impossible — Fallout alongside Tom Cruise.

Cavill went through some intense training to get into peak physical shape—he and his trainer detailed those workouts for us, so you can try them too—using squats, kettlebell training, burpees, explosive step ups, chinups, and shuttle runs to get his body ripped. Just like his fellow superhero co-star from Justice League, grizzly man Jason Momoa, Cavill enjoys sharing his workouts on social media, giving us a peek at how Superman gets so, well, super.

Here are quite a few times that Cavill was basically Superman while training.
