This Sunday night on HBO, True Blood enters its seventh and final season. Over the years, fans have come to expect certain things from the show—graphic sex, fangs, short skirts, and Ryan Kwanten's abs.
In fact, most of the male leads have no problem showing off their six-packs for the camera. So how do they stay so shredded from season to season? During the show's long haul, Men's Health interviewed Kwanten, Joe Manganiello, and Stephen Moyer about their fitness tips and workouts. Here's how the guys keep their bodies ripped and camera-ready from season to season.
RYAN KWANTEN
It seems as if Kwanten can't enter a scene on True Bloodwithout ripping off his shirt. And while the 37-year-old works hard for his chiseled core (he works out every day, sometimes for 2 1/2 hours at a time), there are times when he needs something quick and effective. That's when he does this 20-minute version of his favorite fat-obliterating drill.
JOE MANGANIELLOAfter his 2002 gig in Spiderman, Manganiello was broke. He took odd jobs—roadie, delivery man, construction worker—and smoked two packs of cigarettes and drank a bottle of whiskey a day. Finally, he kicked his bad habits, started training, and got back into acting. Nowadays, you can't catch the guy with his shirt on. Click here to try his upper-body circuit to make every muscle pop.
STEPHEN MOYERMoyer calls himself lazy. When he works out, a trainer must prod him. Otherwise the actor has been known to pack up and head home. But despite his self-proclaimed laziness, Moyer may have one of the craziest—and toughest—ab workouts we've ever seen. It's an inhuman 17-set routine from Hell. Can you survive?
