Exclusive Chat With Michael Blevins: What's Next For Henry

Michael Blevins knows what it takes to get Henry to his superhero fitness goals. In Part 1 of our exclusive interview with him, he shared some of that process. He also told us what it was like to participate with Henry in the Gibraltar Rock Run last October.

In Part 2 of our chat with Blevins, we pick up the conversation talking about Henry's diet. He then tells us how his training is different, now that he's preparing for a military role.  

We'd like to thank Michael Blevins for sharing a little bit of what goes on behind the scenes, as Henry trains for his film roles. You can follow Blevins on twitter at @sworntoblack. If you would like to contact him or keep up with his work, visit his site: gritandteeth.com.

Exclusive: A Conversation With Henry's Trainer, Michael Blevins

Henry Cavill has worked hard to achieve his superhero body, and his trainer Michael Blevins has been right beside him since the very beginning. We caught up with Blevins, for an exclusive interview during a recent trip to LA. He talked to us about training Henry, the experience of participating in the Gibraltar Rock Run with him, and more.

Look for Part 2 (UPDATE: Watch it now) of our exclusive with Blevins coming up next week. He talks to us about switching gears, as Henry prepares for a very different kind of role.

In the meantime, make sure to keep up with his updates at gritandteeth.com. You can also follow him on twitter at @sworntoblack.

Henry's Trainer Shares Utah Photo, Fitness Advice

gritandteeth.com

If you followed our updates on Henry's training for Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, you know Michael Blevins (@sworntoblack) was a main participant in that process. During filming in Detroit last year, Henry also showed up to support his trainer in several fitness competitions. Henry's work then continued in Utah and now in London, as Michael mentions in a new post on his site:

I was reminded on a run the other day of why I put my shoes on in the first place, it was not in fact to improve my VO2 max or change my ability to buffer lactic acid. In fact it wasn't conscious at all, it took running past a palace in Hyde Park for realization on the day to take place, and tomorrow it will change. Interestingly enough this is a daily occurrence, superficially the idea is to get fit, move faster, and move more, more times. The expression though that keeps this consistent is fostered in the aftermath or the unplanned. Suffering through purposeful effort builds resolution, relationships, a kindling of sorts for definition of our actions.

Read the rest at gritandteeth.com, and get ready to find out a lot more about Henry's training next week. We had a chance to sit down with Michael recently, to talk about his previous work with Henry and what's to come. Stay tuned for Part 1 of our exclusive, coming next week!
