The process involved working out seven days a week, for 90 minutes each session. He starts with a core circuit, then focuses on specific body parts.

“If you saw him coming to work at five in the morning when I could barely open my eyes, and he’d been up for two hours in the gym. If everyone had that discipline, they, too, could have abs of steel.”

Reynolds said,
“[For] most actors, it’s coke and guns. For me, it’s baked goods.”
