Tom Holland’s fitness has long been part of his preparation for playing Spider-Man, and one of his CrossFit performances is now attracting renewed attention online. The actor’s personal best in the challenging “Cindy” workout has resurfaced, with fitness enthusiasts attempting to match his score.
Holland’s 27-round score has prompted several gym freaks and fitness enthusiasts online to take on the challenge, but most have struggled to match the actor’s impressive benchmark.
Hybrid athlete Jesal Patel completed 20 rounds and jokingly declared, “Tom is not a human.” While, health coach Gabi Mika managed 13 rounds in her attempt, showing just how demanding the 20-minute workout can be even for people who regularly train.
Several others have also recorded their attempts online, with many falling short of Holland’s 27-round record. The growing challenge has left people impressed by just how much strength, stamina and pace are required to match the Spider-Man star.
Cindy is a 20-minute bodyweight circuit made up of just three exercises: pull-ups, push-ups and squats.
The objective is straightforward: set a timer for 20 minutes and complete as many full rounds as possible, maintaining good form throughout.
Once you complete the squats, you immediately return to the pull-ups and repeat the sequence until the 20-minute timer runs out. Holland’s 27-round score means he completed 27 full rounds of the circuit within the allotted time, making his performance particularly demanding.
Although Cindy uses only bodyweight exercises, the short rest periods and repeated movements make it a demanding full-body workout.
The circuit combines pulling, pushing and lower-body movements, while the continuous format also challenges cardiovascular endurance. The workout can therefore work both muscular strength and stamina in a relatively short period.
However, you do not need to match Holland’s score to benefit from the workout. Like many CrossFit routines, Cindy can be scaled according to an individual's fitness level and experience.
