"Fitness fanatic Jake Gyllenhaal is taking a breather.\r\nIn the September issue of Details, the 31-year-old actor says his notoriously grueling workouts are a thing of the past. &amp;quot;I haven&amp;apos;t cycled in a long time,&amp;quot; he reveals. &amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t run anymore. Do I take care of my body and take conditioning seriously? Yes. But exercising regularly doesn&amp;apos;t fit the energy of the character I&amp;apos;m playing now,&amp;quot; he says of An Enemy, in which he plays a man who seeks out his look-alike.\r\n\r\nGyllenhaal -- whose famous exes include Reese Witherspoon, 36, Kirsten Dunst, 30, and Taylor Swift, 22 -- says he&amp;apos;s become a different man since he shot the police thriller End of Watch, directed by David Ayer. &amp;quot;Dave told me right off that this was going to affect my soul,&amp;quot; Gyllenhaal explains. &amp;quot;&amp;apos;Friends are going to say, That&amp;apos;s the Jake I&amp;apos;ve always known, but somewhere deep inside, you&amp;apos;ll know otherwise.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe actor spent five months prepping for the 22-day shoot, which included &amp;quot;three nights a week in ride-alongs with cops,&amp;quot; Gyllenhaal recalls. &amp;quot;[We had] fight training every morning at a Kenbo Karate dojo, and I got the sh-t kicked out of me. Then [we went to] the shooting range, shooting past each other&amp;apos;s heads, with live ammo.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;There&amp;apos;s a simulated fire in the movie, but Dave wanted us to feel what that&amp;apos;s like, so he had us do a controlled burn,&amp;quot; Gyllenhaal adds. One Saturday, the actor and his costar, Michael Pena, 36, &amp;quot;drove down to Orange County, dressed like firemen head-to-toe, and suddenly we&amp;apos;re there just sitting in the middle of a burning building.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAccording to Gyllenhaal, the film -- in theaters September 28 -- inspired him to go with his gut.\r\n&amp;quot;Every journey starts with fear. And I could say that&amp;apos;s what I want to embrace now. A real experience,&amp;quot; he tells Details. &amp;quot;And I want, overall, to trust what I know is right. There have been many times when I haven&amp;apos;t. It&amp;apos;s what I&amp;apos;m asking myself: Where is the line? What is the line? There&amp;apos;s so much context, it can be almost impossible to find.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
