Ryan Seacrest proved that a body like his doesn’t come without dedication and hard work. The American Idol host found a challenging way to safely push his muscles to the limit by exercising underwater with a pair of dumbbells – and while the activity is considered low-impact because of the water’s buoyancy, his workout still looked grueling.

His followers were very impressed with his efforts, with one commenting: “It looks hard as nails. Enjoy and Ryan you are your body is Rockin.” A second said: “Wow Impressive work out! You never cease to amaze Ryan!” A third added: “Taking water aerobics to an entirely new level!”
