Chris Hemsworth Shares Full-Body Medicine-Ball Workout
Chris Hemsworth Demonstrates How to Get In a Full-Body Workout With Just a Medicine Ball
Chris Hemsworth, founder of the fitness app Centr, posted a medicine-ball workout to Instagram that will make you sweat just by watching him. In the video above, a heavy-breathing Hemsworth demonstrates seven exercises called the Centr Functional Slam Workout. Medicine balls help build core strength, so doing workouts like this one regularly can help improve your balance, posture, and alignment. Be prepared to feel your arms, abs, and thighs burn. Like Hemsworth 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. 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, HIIT, boxing, strength, and more — as well as meal-plan ideas and meditations.
