Tiger Shroff trains like a gymnast and a fighter. His routine blends parkour, kickboxing, weight training and dance. He trains six days a week and even practices splits and backflips between takes.

Akshay Kumar begins his day at 4:30 am with a mix of swimming, martial arts and yoga. His no-alcohol and early-to-bed lifestyle is legendary, setting the gold standard for consistent fitness in Bollywood.

Hrithik Roshan combines heavy lifting with functional movements and physiotherapy. He follows a strict routine with personal trainers and focuses equally on recovery using deep tissue massages and mobility drills.

John Abraham sticks to old-school bodybuilding fused with core training. He trains five times a week and avoids supplements, relying instead on clean meals, consistent workouts and compound lifts like squats and deadlifts.
