Looking to carve up a six pack like Ryan Reynolds!? Do this routine 2-3x per week. Assuming your body fat is low enough, you’ll start seeing baby abs sprout within a few short weeks, and MONSTER abs proliferate within a few months.

The ULTIMATE, Ryan Reynolds Six Pack Abs Workout is well-rounded and smashes everything: including the rectus abdominis (aka the six pack muscles), the lower abs, the obliques, and even the transverse abdominis — the inner section that vacuums the entire torso in nice and tight. It’s like a delicious salad of abtacular proportions; designed with a series of high quality ingredients sprinkled throughout to ultimately bring together one rock hard, defined, cohesive core.

It’s going to BURN and feel like you got punched in the gut 2,796x the day after, but that’s breakdown and new GROWTH — incarnate. Live for it. Savor it. Progress (and pain) rarely feels more rewarding.

And if you’re a lady, it won’t give you the grizzled Ryan Reynolds look — you’ll craft a svelte, defined Marisa Miller stomach. Yum.

Take 30 seconds of rest in between each set. If it’s too difficult at first and you need to cut back on reps and/or add more rest time, that’s completely fine — cater it to your own level of ab strength and gradually work your way up over time.

For weighted exercises, continue to increase the weight as your abs get stronger.
