The superstars in the team of Avengers have amazed us on the silver screen with their phenomenal superhuman powers so much that super fans of the MCU worship the very ground they walk on. This is nothing less than true love and adoration. But what really goes on behind the scenes?
The kind of dexterity, durability, stiffness, strength, that the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes show on screen is just because of spending long hours in the gymnasium, doing vigorous workouts. They shed a lot of tears, blood, and sweat, quite literally. Stars famous on Instagram like Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, and Captain Marvel give major fitness goals. Their dedication to health and fitness is really motivating. No spoilers here! We promise.
Thor-God of thunder / Chris Hemsworth
Thor, the God of Thunder, would not be able to pick up Mjolnir (his hammer) had it not been for his superhuman strength. Chris trains like a fanatic, a maniac to look the way he does on the silver screen. His workout regimen is demanding & extremely rigorous. It involves circuit-based cardio along with intense weight training.
Chris loves to do weight training and does various exercises to tone up his muscles. Some of the major exercises he performs are weighted squats, bicep curls, skull crushers, and weighted burpees, among other arm and thigh building exercises.
According to reports, Hemsworth trains all days in a week for almost two hours daily. To play an impressive and solid character like Thor, he requires agility and muscle strength. A part of his exercise routine is majorly inspired by CrossFit.
A lot of Chris’s workout is also centered around “Mjolnir” or “The Grinder”. Fitness training with the hammer is extremely extensive. It focuses mainly on the upper body portion. Exercises using “The Grinder” comprise of sideways chop, squats, double-handed shovel, and overhead strike squat to name a few. He also makes kick-boxing a prominent part of his routine to maintain the amazing physique of “God of Thunder”.
As far as the diet is concerned, Hemsworth eats almost 6 times a day! When he tries to bulk up, his diet is largely protein, both plant, and animal.
Black Widow / Natasha Romanoff / Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson aka Black Widow’s schedule has consisted of rigorous and intense training. She follows a strict diet with a tough workout regime. According to reports, Scarlett’s workouts include a combination of Yoga, kettlebells, gymnastics, plyometric movements, and Olympic weight lifting.
She mainly focuses on carb cycling for her diet. She maintains (in her routine) a low-fat intake and high carbohydrate diet and vice versa while maintaining a healthy protein diet.

Captain Marvel / Carol Danvers / Brie Larson
Brie Larson aka Captain Marvel is a fitness freak. She loves to test her body at an extreme level. She is indeed a superhuman if her video on Instagram of pushing a 5,000-pound jeep is anything to go by. Brie’s amazingly and perfectly toned arms along with her athletic body can only be accredited to her extensive complete body workout.
According to Hollywood reports, Brie has been anything but basic when it comes to her fitness routines. Ranging from simple squats to push-ups and weighted lunges to rock-climbing, she likes to keep things simple yet interesting even in the fitness center.
Weighted push-ups are an excellent way of working your core. For the type of role that Brie plays, it is quite imperative to have agility, durability, and strength within. Weighted ball throws, push-ups, and heavy hip thrusts are seriously an exceptional way to work on your core and make it super strong.
Captain Marvel also focuses on the strong physique, building muscle strength with solid bones and making sure that her limbs are getting the movement they need. That why she worked harder on the lower body. Weighted lunges are the best way to work on both your legs and arms simultaneously.
Another thing that keeps her fit as well as entertained at the same time is Rock Climbing. Rock-climbing not just helps her maintain upper body strength but is also a way to keep mind sharp and quick. You can see her showing her inner Spiderman in her Instagram post.
Captain America / Steve Rogers / Chris Evans
The secret behind Chris Evans ripped physique is not just the “Super Soldier Serum” which was injected to him in his first movie, but also extensive amounts the exercises he does for muscle building. For the naturally lean Chris, to bulk up was a huge task. But there is nothing Captain America can’t handle.
According to reports, while preparing for ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’, Steve Rogers (screen name) placed special emphasis on the muscle training and used to take up 2 muscle groups daily and work thoroughly on those groups. His cooling down regimen was mainly working on his core. Push-ups, Squats, chin-ups, deadlifts, and dumbbells were a common part of his routine.
In terms of diet, our very own Containerise had to step his game up and bulk-up on carbs and proteins, going to the extent of having quite a few meals per day.
The Badass Thanos / Josh Brolin
When you will see Josh doing a rigorous workout in the gym, you can only have respect and admiration for his training schedule. Because just let it take effect on you; he trains twice a day six days a week. That is twelve times a week. So, while most men lie proudly on the couch when they reach that number in the month, Brolin is already working on his next session.
He follows the regimen of two workout sessions per day. His trainer, Justin Lovato, has drawn up a schedule consisting of a combination of mobility, fitness building, and strength training. He follows the diet of high nutrition that includes proteins and carbs.
