The "Guardians of the Galaxy" star explained his plan to get into peak physical condition in preparation for the second season of his hit show "Terminal List," which starts filming in March.

It's about getting after it and being patient and consistent." He elaborated, "If you cut the crap out of your diet and spend an hour a day doing something physical, you'll feel better mentally, physically, and spiritually because it's all tied together."
