And Channing Tatum was back to getting in shape on Sunday when he shared a video of himself after a two-mile swim in the ocean to Instagram.
The 41-year-old actor looked as buff as ever from a distance, though he joked in his caption that his personal trainer ‘didn’t make it’ after the rough swim.

Channing appeared to have on nothing but some tight black swim trunks and a dark swimming cap with goggles perched on his forehead.
In the clip, he was seen lumbering out of the water toward the shore after finishing up his aquatic expedition.
‘I have done all kinds of bulls*** to get in or stay in shape. Almost everything you can think of,’ he said. ‘And i have to say nothing yet has been more suffocating and exhausting and effective than freestyle wrestling or open ocean water swimming.
‘There are moments in both that i am always like i think I might die haha. Yup pretty sure i can’t go on let go would be better than this. Haha,’ he wrote.

Having a laugh: He added, ‘There are moments … that i am always like i think I might die,’ and joked that his trainer wasn’t so lucky. ‘as you can see I’m coming in by myself Arin didn’t make it. 2mile ocean swim bruh’
‘And I’m not even i professional athlete [sic]. I can’t imagine the depths in which they push themselves. Unreal. I do it for movies Hahahaha very different motivation,’ he continued. ‘Either way get after it everyone. It’s good to be alive. There are so many people that can’t say that. I’m so blessed.’
Channing ended the caption with some gallows humor about his trainer Arin Babaian, who famously helped him get in shape for the Magic Mike films.
‘P.s as you can see I’m coming in by myself Arin didn’t make it. 2mile ocean swim bruh,’ he joked.
In 2019, Babaian shared his experience training Tatum for the first of the stripper-themed films, which was released in 2012.
