Cody Simpson is doing all he can to achieve is Olympic fairytale in Paris this year.
The singer-turned-swimmer, 26, took to Instagram on Thursday with a video of himself looking incredibly fit while working out at the gym.
Going shirtless for the sweaty occasion, the Australian athlete was seen performing hanging leg raises with both legs extended, working away at his abdominals and shoulders.
The tattooed star grimaced as he lifted his legs and rotated them around in the air, all the while keeping his upper body taut.
It comes days after Cody finished fourth in the 100m butterfly final at the Australian swimming championships on the Gold Coast.

Cody’s time was half a second slower than his best, meaning he needs to improve his time by a full second to have a shot at going to the Olympics.
His main competitors are showing strong performances, with Matt Temple leading the pack and others like Shaun Champion and Ben Armbruster also vying for a spot on the Olympic team.
Simpson’s best chance to make it to the Olympics might be in the 100m freestyle.

If he can rank among the top six swimmers in this event, he could join the men’s world champion relay team, giving him a pathway to Paris.
With the Olympic trials in Brisbane approaching on June 10, Simpson has just eight weeks to make it a reality.
Before turning to swimming, Simpson had a successful music career, collaborating with stars like Justin Bieber and dating well-known figures like Miley Cyrus.
However, he chose to leave the glamorous life of a pop star behind to focus on swimming, aiming to fulfill his childhood dream of competing in the Olympics.
He’s currently dating fellow swimming champion girlfriend Emma McKeon, who has announced the Paris Olympics will be her last.
