Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has revealed the secrets behind his incredible physique. There's a lot of hard work, dedication and consistency involved, but it's also about working smart and having clear aims.
As is to be expected, a mix of diet and exercise is the key to The Rock achieving his goals. In his case, it is a gruelling routine that he sticks to closely.

The Rock is on his feet at 04:00, which is when he begins his intense routine. The first thing he does is go for a run to music, around his neighbourhood in Florida if he can.
Although the idea of getting up early to exercise may seem like a nightmare for most people, for Johnson, getting up at the crack of dawn allows him to be fresh and at his best to work efficiently for the rest of his day.
"I love putting in that hard work as early as possible to get my day started off on the right foot, mentally and physically," he told Bodybuilding.com.
"Depending on the role I'm training for or playing at the time, I usually smash out about 30 to 50 minutes on the elliptical cross trainer first thing in the morning, whether I'm at home or at a hotel, after drinking a cup of coffee.
"But when I'm at home, I like to hit the road as well. And after cardio, I eat breakfast."
He also opened up on his intense diet in that same interview.
"Diet-wise, I generally eat five meals a day," he said.
"I'm very prepared and organized, and everything is planned out in advance.
"It's all measured depending on what I'm training to achieve.
"Usually I start off my day with some dead cow and oatmeal for breakfast.
"The other staples in my diet include chicken, steak fillets, egg whites, oatmeal, broccoli, halibut, rice, asparagus, baked potato, leafy salads, peppers, mushrooms, and onions, and then also some casein protein."
There is little rest for Johnson as he is working out almost every day. The exact content always depends on what his current goals are, but the commitment and effort are the same.
"I work out six days a week, and usually in the morning, but depending on my schedule I may also train in the evening," he said.
"But I definitely prefer the morning. With the iron, I separate body parts: legs, back, shoulders, chest, biceps, and triceps. I mix up dumbbells, cables, barbells, and machines.
"My workout is constantly changing and adapting, but for the most part, I do 4 sets of 12 reps with a 60-90-second rest.
"I don't play around in the gym. I always aim to be the hardest worker, and I make sure I clang and I bang to the best of my ability."
