Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton [1] isn't just an endless source of easy hair hacks and ideas [2] — he's also serving up some serious fitness inspiration. The beauty pro, who most recently did Jennifer Lopez's hair before her and Ben Affleck's Las Vegas wedding [3], just shared a glimpse at the ab workout [4] that helps him stay so strong. In a video filmed at Dogpound gym [5] and posted on both TikTok and Instagram, Appleton (or shall we say Ableton?) shirtlessly crushes a routine alongside trainer Zach Powell [6].
After breezing through a set of hanging ab curls [7], Appleton and Powell each balance a 25-pound weight plate on top of their knees for a hanging hold. Their workout also includes weighted tuck-ups [8], hanging twisting ab curls, diamond sit-ups, and a variation on seated knee tucks — all perfectly in sync. Watching them nail every intense move in tandem just might make you sweat as much as we did while watching Christopher Meloni's recent nude Peloton ad [9], if you're catching our drift.
This isn't the first time Appleton has offered followers a glimpse inside his fitness routine. Earlier this month, he shared his high-intensity cardio workout [10] using battle ropes, a fan bike, and a jump rope. And last year, he posted a YouTube video [11] documenting his favorite upper body workout, including cross-body lateral raises, dumbbell flys, alternating dumbbell presses on an incline bench, and decline push-ups. Here's to hoping Appleton continues delivering the fitness content we've all been craving.
