Unsurprisingly, Diesel does a lot of lifting to get his lean and mean physique. He lifted 4 days a week to get in shape for The Fast and Furious 7.

Diesel added yoga and Pilates to his workouts for F&F 7, and says he noticed that it has given him more control over his body. He also does calisthenics and cardio — sometimes in the form of running, sometimes in the form of chasing his 2 kids around.

Diesel decided to learn Brazilian jiu-jitsu for F&F 7, in homage to his deceased friend and fellow actor, Paul Walker.

Diesel might do 2-3 powerlifting sets and do high-rep sets afterward, working to exhaustion to get the most out of his gym time. For F&F 7, he did supersets and focused on 1 body part each day, 4 days per week.

Diesel does Pilates and yoga in addition to his meat-and-potatoes weight lifting. He also makes time for cardio.

Diesel’s jiu-jitsu training included agility training, pad work, and combat sequences.
