"I do a lot of trapeze work right now. I do that because it’s fun and different, and I needed to get out of lifting weights. But I go back to the gym sometimes for lifting weights. I do a bit of everything. I just want to make sure I enjoy it. I also body surf almost every day. Now I work out to feel good, and how my body looks is a byproduct of that." — Hugh Jackman, X-Men Origins: Wolverine

"I really liked the martial arts stuff I learned during the filming of Star Trek, but learning Tae Kwon Do has been a bumpy road to be honest. I also recently got into the Israeli martial arts Krav Maga due to another project I’m going to be working on, and that is really unbelievable. It’s very intense and good for you. I definitely want to pursue that more this summer." — John Cho, Star Trek

"There was a group of us who did sort of a Star Trek boot camp in preparation for some of the physical scenes we would be doing. That changed my routine because it gave me more structure than my own physical workout regimen. This summer, I’d like to get back to that. I will go to the gym as much as possible and do a lot of yoga.” —Zachary Quinto, Star Trek
