Any trained athlete knows if you want capped shoulders, a big chest, and massive arms, you have to train your upper body. If you want Ronnie Coleman-sized legs and glutes, you must train your lower body. But if you want the coveted V-cut abs, you'll have to not only build your abdominal muscles but lower your body fat percentage with a mix of cardio, HIIT workouts, and a clean diet.
We asked Don Saladino, C.P.T., owner of Drive 495—who's best known for being a personal trainer to none other than Ryan Reynolds—to share his favorite moves, plus a workout routine that's proven to define V-cut abs.
Even better: These abs exercises won't hurt your back while lighting up your lower abdominals. Do the first three moves as one workout or at the end of your regular full-body routine. Do the last three moves on a separate day, again as one cohesive workout or as a finisher to your regular routine.
