Cumberbatch has done many exercises to achieve his superhero physique, including weightlifting and pilates. The actor also did yoga, which has been one of his favorite workouts since his teen years.
To prepare the 47-year-old star for the role of Dr. Strange, Marvel Studios hired pro-trainer Simon Waterson. The professional applied the five-two method, described as “five exercises done in an accumulator with two minutes of cardio in between.”
