Chris Hemsworth [2], founder of the fitness app Centr [3], posted a medicine-ball workout to Instagram that will make you sweat just by watching him. In the video [4] above, a heavy-breathing Hemsworth demonstrates seven exercises called the Centr Functional Slam Workout. Medicine balls [5] help build core strength, so doing workouts like this one regularly can help improve your balance [6], posture, and alignment. Be prepared to feel your arms [7], abs, and thighs burn [8]. Like Hemsworth [9] says in his Instagram post, "Get yourself a ball, and a wall, and get cracking."
If you want to regularly workout with Hemsworth, check out his app Centr [10]. Hemsworth participates in some of the workouts on the platform alongside the app's trainers. The platform has 20- to 40-minute equipment and equipment-free workouts in yoga [11], HIIT, boxing [12], strength, and more — as well as meal-plan ideas and meditations [13].
