Tom Hiddleston's fighting and chasing scenes from ‘The Night Manager’ season 2 are one of the biggest USPs of the show, but the 44-year-old had to go through an intense training routine to condition his body for them.

Hiddleston's character, Jonathan Pine, is a spy and has a ripped physique to make things look real. To achieve the appearance, the Kong: Skull Island actor delved into circuit-style training and several more exercises, including bodyweight movements, compound movements, and condition-focused exercises. 

Hiddleston's trainer, Simon Waterson, shared his training routine on Instagram, which is broadly divided into 3 parts. 

Part I

• 2 minutes of Assault bike
• 10 reps of Box jumps
• 10 reps of Kettlebell swings
• 10 reps of Goblet squats
• 10 reps of Nordic lowers
• 10 reps of Sprinter lunges 

Part II

• Stepovers for 1 minute
• 15 reps of Dips
• 15 reps of Pull-ups
• 6 reps each side of Sledgehammer swings
• 15 reps of Abs matrix crunches.
• Arc sprints for 1 minute.

Part III

• 15 reps of Lat Pull-downs
• 15 reps of BOSU ball push
• 15 reps of Abs matrix crunches
• 15 reps of Shoulder matrix

Tom Hiddleston’s Healthiest Habit

Apart from gym sessions, Tom Hiddleston loves running. He once told Men’s Health, "The baseline of my routine is running, because it keeps my stamina up, and it keeps me on an even keel."

He has participated in 5 ultramarathons since 2021. Recently, the actor participated in the Montane Summer Spine Challenger for 174km in almost 34 hours. 

While speaking with BBC Radio 2, Hiddleston said, "I love movement, and I love movement in cinema," which explains why he chooses to play such physically demanding roles on-screen.

So, are you thinking of trying out Hiddleston's workout routine for ‘The Night Manager’ Season 2?
