Stars like Henry Cavill and Chris Hemsworth have gone back to basics, mastering calisthenics—a system of exercises using only one’s own body weight. This includes classic moves like pull-ups, dips, push-ups, and pistol squats. The appeal is in its accessibility and efficiency; it builds lean, functional strength and remarkable body control without any equipment. By progressively mastering more difficult variations, such as muscle-ups or human flags, you develop a physique that is both powerful and incredibly mobile. It’s an old-school approach to fitness that proves you are your own gym.

Often mistaken for Pilates, the Lagree Method is a high-intensity, low-impact workout done on a machine called the Megaformer. Stars like Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga use this method to achieve a toned and sculpted physique. The Megaformer uses spring-based resistance to perform slow and controlled movements, keeping muscles under constant tension to build strength, endurance, and flexibility all at once. The exercises can be tailored to target specific muscle groups and are designed to prevent plateaus. It’s a challenging workout that will make you sweat and leave your muscles shaking, but without the joint stress of high-impact cardio.
