How to get a stomach like Benedict Cumberbatch: Secrets of an A-list body

We reveal how to get the enviable physiques of the stars. This week, Benedict Cumberbatch’s stomach.

He has described himself as an unlikely sex symbol, yet the 36-year-old star of Sherlock has a body that is envied by many. 

So how does he keep his ripped abs in such perfect shape?

‘With Sherlock, it’s lots of seeds, juices, swimming and running,’ says Cumberbatch. 

However, when filming the forthcoming Star Trek sequel in Hollywood (he plays a baddie), he had a personal trainer. 

TRY THIS: The abdominal hold  — sit on the edge of a dining chair and place your hands on the edge, on the outside of your thighs, fingers pointing forward towards your knees.


Tighten abdominal muscles, put weight on hands and lift feet off the ground. Hold position for 5-10 seconds or as long as you can. 

Repeat for 60 seconds in total.

SO, I just looked up crunches. That's what I do, not sit-ups. Go figure. :'D

But I think it's all about proper and improper form when it comes to the possibility of damaging yourself. Also, I've heard stretching is really important (I looove stretching. It feels so good).

yeah, maybe. i think that's probably the case with crunches. i'd rather not risk it though when push-ups provide a good alternative (no equipment needed yay). i mean, i'm sure crunches or even sit-ups wouldn't kill me but hell, my back is weak enough as it is! (plus i'm crazy paranoid. which you could probably tell.)

now, if someone comes out with something bad about push-ups... i'll just pick one and then pray that my body doesn't crap out on me when i'm older lol.

Oh, I understand that. I'm just trying to reassure myself, hahaha!
