20-Min “Tom Cruise” Mission-Ready Kettlebell Circuit
|
I saw a clip recently of Tom Cruise training for the latest Top Gun. Doing things like: — Sprinting — Climbing — Hanging off airplanes — Doing all of his own stunts The guy is in his 60s. And you look at that and think… How is that even possible? Well—according to Dr. Google (lol) – his training approach likely plays a large part. My quick research says he does: — 3 days/week of strength work — 2 days/week of “fun”/adventure activities (running, hiking, climbing, kayaking, etc) — high-intensity cardio …interestingly, this is VERY similar to the format we use in Ageless Action Hero Kettlebell. Here’s an example workout in that style: (This is not Tom Cruise’s actual workout—just a representative example of this style of training.) (This one is pulled from the Mission Ready Foundation inside the full Ageless Action Hero Kettlebell program.) —– 20-Min “Tom Cruise” Mission-Ready Kettlebell Circuit 1 – Turkish Get-Up Do 1 rep right, 1 rep left. Alternate sides until you hit 4 reps per side total. Start lighter and build up if possible. Recommended weights: If you’re new to TGUs, drop the weight and focus on form first. 2 – Down-the-Ladder Strength Circuit (Rest as little as possible. Rest ~60 seconds after one full ladder. Repeat for 2 total rounds.) 5 cleans (R) 5 cleans (L) Then 4 each… Same sequence all the way down. Recommended weights: 3 – 100 Kettlebell Swings Complete in as few sets as possible. Example: Recommended weights: —– Get the full Ageless Action Hero Kettlebell program at the link below while it’s still on special March 2026 Launch Pricing: –>> Ageless Action Hero Kettlebell -- Forest Vance |

Reader - Did you run the kettlebell prep 17-Min “Gladiator Build” KB Complex that I sent you yesterday? That’s the first part of how this is set up. You see, in Gladiator Kettlebell, we use a four-day training cycle called the tetrad that dates back to ancient athletics and was described by Philostratus, who wrote about how athletes prepared for competition. Here's how it works: The first day, which was yesterday, was a sample of that. We do what is called a prep. It consists of short,...
There’s a certain feeling you used to have when it came to training. You didn’t overthink it; you just showed up, and you were ready to go. You felt strong, capable, and like you could handle whatever you threw at yourself that day. For many of us, that came from sports, the military, or just training hard in our 20s without much thought. Over time, that starts to change. Life gets busy, work and family take priority, you pick up a few injuries, and workouts become less consistent. Now,...
