In part because he plays the leader of a SWAT team on "SWAT," as he enters his fifties, Shemar Moore remains focused on his fitness. In 2017, he told Men's Health that he had to bulk up in order to play the physically imposing Hondo. "It's a mandated organizational policy that each SWAT officer start their day with a workout, which must be at least one-hour minimum," Moore said of the real-life team. "They look like linebackers. So while I am an actor playing a role, I still wanted to look as authentic as possible, to physically have a presence."

He's not shy about showing off his progress online, either. "I REFUSE to have a 'Dad Bod,'" Moore wrote on Instagram in 2022, noting that he was 52 at the time and wanted to have the body of a 32-year-old. In another post baring those moneymaking abs, the star shared just how he gets such impressive results. "Busting my whole entire a** in the gym, lifting weights, running, stairs, hiking, cycling, boxing, swimming, massages, dieting, SLEEPING!!!!" he wrote.

Previously speaking with ABILITY Magazine, Moore expanded on the idea that exercise can happen anywhere. "Working out in a gym gets old after while, so you've got to mix it up," he said. "I go and I do the sand dunes, I do the Santa Monica stairs, I ride my bike, I box. ... I just love the hot weather and I love exercise, so I keep it together."
