A group workout
Higgins has previously worked with groups of actors on films like The Eternals et Justice League. He says that working in a group creates a positive dynamic and mutual motivation. In the case of the movie Barbiethe actors worked out training programs together that included weight training, Pilates and dance.
“It created an all-for-one vibe, which helped motivate them,” Higgins explains.
The daily routine of actors
According to Higgins, the actors’ daily routine was to work the abs, upper and lower body each day. The exercises were varied, with different rep ranges and the use of varying weights.
Feeding and intermittent fasting
As far as food is concerned, no specific restrictions were foreseen. However, processed foods were banned from the menu. Periods of intermittent fasting were also scheduled.
The 7 exercises for concrete abs
1. Le leg lifts
Lie on your back and cross your left leg over the right. Raise the feet and legs as high as possible without bending them. Once in the air, make small leg movements left and right, then slowly lower back to the ground.
2. The wiper
Sit down with your feet flat on the floor and your knees bent. Lean back until you feel tension in your stomach. Raise ankles and swing feet together side to side.
3. Le rollback
Sit on a mat with your knees bent to your chest and your hands on your shins. Slowly roll your back controlling the descent, then come back up and return to the starting position.
4. Two-step crunch
Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Raise your upper body in a crunch motion. Pause halfway up before continuing, then another once at the top.
5. Static dead bug
Lie on your back with your knees bent and your arms extended in the air in front of you. Raise one knee at a time, bringing the opposite hand to meet it. Hold this position for 30 seconds before switching sides.
6. Crossbody crunch
Bring the elbow close to the opposite knee before returning to the starting position. Repeat the exercise for one minute on each side.
7. Rope climb
Lie on your back, legs elevated, feet up. Imagine having an imaginary rope that you hold in your hands. Raise your chest and pretend you are climbing this rope, one arm at a time.
Now that you have the keys in hand, all you have to do is get to work on getting those abs worthy of Ryan Gosling in Barbie! Remember that regularity and perseverance are the keys to success. Good training!
