Tom Cruise Mission Impossible Workout

Getting a toned and sexy body like Tom Cruise is not necessarily a ‘mission impossible’. The only ‘collateral’ you would have to exchange to achieve a hot body would be throwing away your current lifestyle for a more healthier, workout-filled lifestyle. Do you truly want a healthy, toned and built body? You’ve got to diet and workout. Some of the techniques Tom Cruise followed included exercises that helped him increase his muscles mass and strengthen his muscles. His cardio workouts include running, jogging and cycling. His other workouts include press-ups, pull-ups, dips, squats, bench presses and dumbbell curls played a huge role in his building up process. Everyday, Tom Cruise went to the gym for just an hour and half. He also made sure he ate healthily. In order to boost his performance, Tom Cruise had to cut junk food out of his diet and drink lots of water. "I train, go without sleep. I just go hard," Tom tells the June 2012 issue of Playboy. "I work. I’m always with family." Cruise, who's known for doing a lot of his own stuntwork in his action films, recently underwent a grueling training regimen to play a rocker in the film "Rock of Ages," in which he flaunts his chiseled physique (complete with ripped six-pack abs!). In addition to following a strict diet and lifting weights several hours a day, Tom also underwent three hours of daily dance training and five hours of voice training every day. But intense preparation and discipline is nothing new for the dynamic superstar. "I train pretty hard," Cruise admits. "For 'The Last Samurai (2003),' I spent a year training six hours a day, seven days a week to be able to handle a sword and do it on uneven terrain, because I didn’t want to blow my knees out. "You’ve got to build the body up for impact. I remember trying to put my shirt on at one point and couldn’t because my forearms had gotten so big. It was the same with "Rock of Ages"—five hours a day learning to sing, three hours a day dancing." Cruise, who says he'll continue to make action films well into his fifties, refuses to go under the knife. "I haven’t [had plastic surgery], and I never would," he says. The 5-foot-7-inch Cruise, who was dyslexic and poor growing up, had attended 15 different schools by the age of 14 and was bullied at almost every one. Those are circumstances that would break most people's spirits, but those early challenges are what gave Cruise his fierce determination and will. "I learned that even in times that were challenging, you have a choice whether to let problems overwhelm you," he says. "When you’re going to new schools, you’re confronted by different things, but you always have a choice, and mine was to learn to handle it."
