In his second-ever YouTube video, Zac Efron introduced his weekly Gym Time w/ Zac Efron show where he plans to “train with celebrities, athletes, and interesting people” on a mission to get to know them and their aspirations. Get push notifications with news, features and more. His first guest was actress Nina Dobrev and together their goal was to get closer to getting Brad Pitt’s iconic, washboard abs from Fight Club. zac-efron Credit: Youtube brad-pitt Credit: Moviestore/REX/Shutterstock The first part of their workout was led by Vitru Trainer Johnny Fontana, who guided them through a series of workouts that targeted their butt and abs. “We are doing side bends next, it’s all obliques,” Fontana tells Dobrev, 30, and Efron, 31, in the video, explaining that’s how to obtain “the Brad Pitt in Fight Club muscles.” The movement calls for the pair to lie on a bench, hip right up near the edge with their torso hanging off. The exercise is similar to a side-crunch but lets the torso fall below the bench until their head nearly touches the floor, and uses their obliques to crunch back up with a slight twist. Fontana explains the exercise step-by-step in a video on Vitru’s Instagram page. zac-efron-b Credit: YouTube “Brad Pitt wouldn’t quit,” Efron chants while visibly and audibly struggling with the exercise. “Holy s—.” He and Dobrev did 15 repetitions of the exercise three times. “Fifteen reps and he literally turned into Brad Pitt,” The Vampire Diaries alum jokes as Efron pulled up his shirt to show off his chiseled abs after the exercise. “That wasn’t there before.” The pair completed a long list of workouts with different trainers — pausing at times to talk about Dobrev’s recent Safari experiences and outlook on exercising — before ending with a cryo-sauna and rapid-fire Q&A. Earlier this year, the Fam star faced some body-shaming on Instagram after she shared a photo of herself from the 5thAnnual Hollywood Beauty Awards wearing a black one-shoulder Michael Kors dressed. Some followers claimed she looked “anorexic.” Dobrev responded to the negative comments, not letting them go unchecked.

As a Les Mills x Reebok ambassador, Nina Dobrev has serious fitness credentials; if you haven't tried the GRIT Cardio workout or dance cardio workouts she filmed with the brand, you're missing out on two seriously effective sweat sessions. So when we heard that she hit the gym with Zac Efron — he of the iconically chiseled six-pack — we knew things were bound to be intense. Zac filmed the whole thing for his new YouTube channel, which: 1) thank you; 2) Zac Efron has a YouTube channel now?! ; and 3) yes, and I hit subscribe so incredibly fast. First of all, their friendship is adorable. Nina cartwheeled into the video, they hugged, they chatted about her South African safari while doing planks, they pushed each other on a sled. Nina went into a cryo chamber for three minutes and Zac distracted her from the freezing cold with a bunch of random questions. And I mean the seriously juicy stuff, like: "If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be?" (Answer: A carrot.) Second of all, the workout (filmed at Vitru in LA) looks brutal. Nina asked for a focus on abs and butt, and they threw in some upper body and oblique moves, too. "A big part of working out is the community of it and going to workouts with friends, and having that accountability," Nina said in the video. It's a testament to the power of a good workout buddy that they're both still laughing through the whole workout, because, damn, it looks insane. Watch the full video below to see demos of each move, enjoy their cute friendship, and come to terms with the fact that Zac is still blond.
