The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Soldier of Steel 

David has been trying to get me to the theater to see MAN OF STEEL™ and I have to admit, until last week’s Spartan Race I wasn’t very interested. But now a movie like that takes on new meaning to me. Like I said in my Spartan Race Recap, the course was hard core. It’s no surprise because Spartan race obstacles are heavily inspired by military training.

To be a soldier, you must be physically fit and ready for anything. In the movie, Clark Kent transforms into the MAN OF STEEL™ just like National Guard Soldiers transform when their communities need it.

No transformation happens overnight. It takes hard work and dedication. I trained for weeks to prepare for the Spartan and still felt challenged with several of the obstacles. If only I’d had Hollywood Trainer Mark Twight on my side. He pushed the MAN OF STEEL™ cast, including actor Henry Cavill, with a functional workout plan to help prepare them for their roles.
