Shemar Moore plays the lead role of Daniel Harrison Jr. on S.W.A.T. He shared some of his workout secrets with Men’s Health. "Don't get it twisted, whatever you do in the gym—I don't care how far you run or how heavy you lift—getting lean and mean starts in the kitchen with your diet," says Moore. "If you're diet ain't right, you're going to drive yourself crazy in the gym. You might get a little stronger, but you're not going to get prettier.”

Alex Russell, who plays Jim Street on S.W.A.T., broke down his training routine with Men’s Health. “Well my trainer, Paolo Mascitti – I call him the Wizard – will have me working out most days, 5 or 6 days a week,” he says. “Some days we do compound movement superset with isolated movement. So I might do heavy bench press superset with pec flies or overhead press superset with lateral raise. Other days he’ll put me through high intensity workouts and by the end I look like I just got out of the pool. And we basically fill our weeks with a combo of these.”

3. Stephanie Sigman

She broke down her workout routine in a 2015 interview with The Evening Standard. “If I’m at home in Orange County, California, I’ll run for 30 or 40 minutes three times a week at around noon. I’m lucky because I live by the beach and I can run there. I also do boxing and I’ve been reading up on Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), which I want to try – it’s great training and gives you a full body workout.”

4. Lisa Esco

Lisa Esco revealed how she stays in shape to play Chris Alonso to Town & Country Magazine. “I’ve been boxing for eight years. It’s a sport I’ve gravitated to, so fighting is already in me. I’ve never gotten into a real fight, but sparring or hitting a bag and getting everything out is something that’s therapeutic for me. We started with 87Eleven Action Design, which is probably the best stunt training facility there is, and they’ve been doing this a long time. I started training there a month before shooting the pilot; after I started working there, the cast of S.W.A.T. was sent in for the same training I had already started on my own. We’re pushing ourselves at all times, and things are turning out even better than we could have imagined.”

5. Kenny Johnson
