To fill out the costume Cavill worked out intensely for two hours each morning. "I have been put through the ringer big time", Cavill says. "An example of the workouts we have been doing it was 100 front squats of body weight. There are kettle-bell workouts. It's very hard work."

kick sb's butt
"I have some fantastic friends who treated me to a personal trainer as a wedding present, and let me tell you, if there is someone special you would like to give an unbeatable gift to, send him or her to LIFT! (...) She also kicked my butt in the gym twice a week! We did something different every day. She pushed me out of my comfort zone and into the best shape of my life."

"This continued for years until I enlisted in the services of a no-nonsense trainer, Jon Merkley. Jon definitely kicked my butt in the gym and
got me on a great resistance program, telling me to limit my cardio."
