Watch Akshay Kumar get #RealAbs

It may look difficult, but it's worth the effort!

Akshay Kumar is THE fitness icon of Bollywood and is one of the few who practises what he preaches. A healthy lifestyle comes naturally to this Khiladi, and that s what s kept him looking younger than most of his counterparts even at 47.

Akshay s latest movie, Brothers, with fellow fitness junkie, Siddharth Malhotra, is due to release on the 14th of August. The actor plays a boxer in the movie and has lost 17 kilos for the role. Here's a video about how the two actors got fighting-fit for their roles.

He recently shared two of his favourite exercises -- stomach beats and leg raises to the bar, to get flaunt-worthy abs on Twitter.
