The Best Chests in Hollywood

Celebrities and Entertainment, Fitness, Celebs & Entertainment

According to People magazine's December 1 issue touting the "Sexiest Man Alive," the guys in this gallery have the best chests in Hollywood. I have to admit, they've done a really great job of choosing the winners in this category. The only one I can think of who may have been wrongfully left out is 50 Cent. But a ton of other hottie bodies were included, so we'll forgive the People folks for that oversight.

We Love To Gawk At Fit Celebs - Ryan Reynolds is faster than he thought

Ryan Reynolds at the New York City Marathon
I think Ryan Reynolds might be a bit of a liar. After insisting that he's not a runner and that he'd be lucky to cross the finish line in last weekend's New York City Marathon, Ryan completed the 26.2 mile run in three hours and 50 minutes, which comes out to around a 8:45 mile (if my math is correct).

At the finish line, he told reporters that he was pretty excited to still be standing and explained that seeing Michael J. Fox around mile 20 caused him "to gain about 15 pounds in goosebumps" and gave him the motivation to push through the last few miles. He ran as a part of Team Fox in honor of his father, who suffers from Parkinson's Disease and raised over $80,000 in contributions for the cause.

"I thought a lot about my father and Michael and the 500,000 other people afflicted with this awful disease in the United States alone," Ryan explained, adding, "I ran for those who can't."

This guy is every bit my idea of a Fit Celeb -- his mind, heart, and body are all in good shape. However, don't expect to see Ryan do it again any time soon. He has been quoted as saying, "I would sooner be prime minister of the moon than run another marathon."

We Love to Gawk at Fit Celebs - Ryan Reynolds to risk bloody nipples for charity

We Love To Gawk At Fit Celebs, Healthy Events, Fitness, Celebs & Entertainment


Ryan Reynolds has been an observer of the New York City Marathon in past years, and says he was amazed by the "guys coming in to finish with bleeding nipples ... People were crying. People were limping, hobbling, screaming, crawling. But most importantly, people were experiencing a sublime rapture that I couldn't even hope to understand."

Add to that statement the fact that Reynolds, who has described his early morning runs as "nothing short of horrifying," has chosen to run the marathon after speaking with Michael J. Fox in an effort to raise money for Parkinson's Disease, which his father has battled for the last 15 years, and whoa -- he's starting to sound awfully serious. Did his recent marriage to Scarlett Johansson rid him of his funny bone? Nope, not at all. The funnyman wrote the following:

"Not since the discovery of Junior High School has a torture been so effective. It's my hope the story of my father combined with my own goal of becoming the first person in history to sob uncontrollably for 26.2 miles straight, may inspire you to give something, too. ... [C]ome on down and watch. Feel free to bring a smile, automated defibrillator, or a fresh set of nipples."

Hollywood Muscle: Ryan Reynolds

Fitness, Celebs & Entertainment, Men's Health

Going from eternal frat boy Van Wilder to practically having the build of a younger Van Damme, Ryan Reynolds completely transformed his physique back in 2004 to be in vampire-slaying form for the film Blade Trinity. Several years later, Reynolds still maintains one of the most shredded physiques in Hollywood. So, what's his secret?

According to Reynolds himself, who was interviewed a while back by Men's Health Magazine, he credits his amazing physical transformation to some very simple, but effective fitness principles.

For one, he makes sure that he eats several small meals throughout the day, mostly consisting of lean protein sources and low-GI carbs. He also stops eating carbs altogether after 8pm, though he makes certain to consume protein (usually in the form of a shake) right up until he goes to bed. Insofar as his workout goes, to put on 20 pounds of muscle for Blade, he worked out two-to-three hours per day, six days a week. Workouts consisted of training one body part per day, but always started with between 500 to 1,000 sit-ups.

Though much slimmer now than he was while filming Blade, Reynolds still keeps his body fat at a staggeringly low 3%, something he credits mostly to diet. The results clearly speak for themselves.
