TRAIN LIKE JOSH HOLLOWAY

Once Josh Holloway wrapped up his role as Sawyer on ABC's hit sci-fi dramaLost, he took some much needed time off to do, in his own words, a lot of "barbecuing and PBR-drinking." But the Georgia native had to jolt his body back into fighting form when he got a call from a producer on Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol to fly out to Prague to star in the action film.

"I trained my ass off," Holloway told Men's Fitness to prepare for the role of Agent Trevor Hanaway. "That shook me up. I thought, 'Enough of this letting go and getting it back. Maybe you can't be completely performance-ready all the time, but you can't let it go. You need to stay within striking distance.'"

Holloway revealed the strenuous advanced workout routine he relied on to get camera ready in time to go toe-to-toe with Hollywood elite like Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner in the latest Mission: Impossible installment.
