The Canadian actor Ryan Rodney Reynolds (DOB: 23 October 1976) is known for starring in popular action flicks such as Blade: Trinity, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Deadpool, and Green Lantern. However, the most remarkable feature in these movies was perhaps his incredibly sculpted physique. It was so defined that even today people search for his workout and diet regimen. Here we focus on how the 40-year-old actor managed to get ripped in a short span of time.

Ryan Reynolds Workout Routine

Reynolds admits that earlier he did not care about what he ate or drank and was not at all a health-conscious guy. After bagging a role in Blade: Trinity, Ryan Reynolds started training under Bobby Strom who designed his workouts based on the role he plays in a movie. Strom changed up his exercises every day so that he could keep Reynolds’ body guessing.

When he was preparing for the Green Lantern, he would go to the gym 7 days a week, train 90 minutes each day, and never repeated the same exercise. His training was more functional than aesthetic. For superhero roles, Reynolds had to bulk up a bit, but for romantic comedies, he had to look lean and fit. He practiced kickboxing when he had to prepare for fighting sequences.
