This is working out for 90 days, like Chris Hemsworth...wow wow wow mate we haven't finished yet lets get going! We have 4 more sets to go.
Erik, what's up mate? Chris Hemsworth here
saw your transformation buddy, saw all the support you're giving the app. I loved it.
I'm in New York for a premiere, I thought, you know what? We should meet up and have a workout
So hit me back, let's do this, let's go, looking forward to seeing you!
ok so let me explain to you why Chris Hemsworth is asking me to meet up and do a workout with him.
a few months ago I set out to diet and workout like Chris Hemsworth
for 30 days using his new fitness app centr and make a video documenting my journey.
his fitness app gives you access to his personal team of industry
professionals the ones who helped him get into superhero shape using a
combination of fitness nutrition and mindfulness
the experience was transformative I gained a newfound mental clarity and I got back into
incredible shape in only 30 days
now after that first video launch I continued working out with the app so then some time passed and the craziest
thing happened Chris actually saw the video and I got the invitation to do a
workout with him tomorrow here in New York City the way to sum up
the way to sum up how I'm feeling right now would be just gratitude grateful that this is
happening I wish I could share this energy through the camera with you now
like what I'm feeling it I'm about to meet Chris Hemsworth have a little chat
and do workout
alright let me walk you through the exact workout that Chris and I did
first we started off nice and easy with a one-mile warm-up run on the treadmill
just getting our bodies moving at a conversational pace then we moved into
some dynamic stretching based around movement now this circuit is quick but
it will have you burning after the first round the first exercise is a reverse
lunge into an explosive press next up our sit threes this is a staple in the
center app from there moved right into hostage pulses up next dumbbell deadlift
curl press after that came the bare cross followed by bent over rows for the
back and the core and finally the only isolation exercise of the whole circuit
tricep extensions we did this circuit four times with about two minutes rest
in between both of us were dripping sweat after this workout it is short but
it's efficient after the workout we jumped on the stationary bikes to cool
down and Chris shared some of his thoughts on motivation
you just flip the switch an understanding by moving to generating
that momentum and movement the my bison that cycles of the years that I've
looked at if I can put in the work and body better this level for this
character to do before I knew I'd be disappointed walking out seven of that
set and not feel as confident to perform and play that character I knew I had
been working somewhere honesty in truth America and saying this is my goal this
is what I'm after no achieve it okay would it work it is day 75 of the 90-day
challenge and since the workout in conversation with Chris my mindset has
definitely shifted a during the first 30 days of this challenge it was the middle
of winter and I was very very regimented in Milton about the training which I had
to be in order to make these workouts would really really stick and to form
them into a habit but over the past month or so the workouts have fully
become a part of my lifestyle I took a quick trip to my hometown on the beach
in New Jersey last week and rather than doing these workouts in the gym I did
them on the beach at sunrise I've really been mixing and matching different
exercises and more or less creating my own mini workouts while I am traveling
it really clicked that Center is more so about integrating the workouts into your
own lifestyle rather than it being super Milton and structured and almost like a
punishment another big change that it's finally summertime in New York
City and I've been doing a lot of my training on the rooftop at sunrise I
still try to get my workouts in during the early morning hours for me if I get
my training done first thing in the morning it really sets the tone for the
rest of my day the rooftop workouts and doom are mainly high-intensity interval
training I am a huge fan of kettlebell training full body movements like
snatches clean front squats and curl presses bear crawls are killer bear
crawls are hands down my favorite workout from the app if you've never
done them before you will be drenched in sweat after the first set also the
sensor classic sit throughs they've really crushed the core and for cardio
I'm doing a lot of jump rope which I find to be a lot more interesting than
running especially on the rooftop at sunrise the city is so quiet and my
focus it's it's fully present along with this I'm still doing the really heavy
weight training portion of these workouts in the gym my initial goal with
this challenge was to put on a bit more muscle and I've noticed some pretty
massive strength gains especially in my deadlift as far as the meals go I am
still eating a ton but I have to say I'm eating much less than the first 30 days
of this challenge my body doesn't naturally sit that heavy
so it's been pretty tough to keep up that kind of a clerk intake over 90 days
I've also been eating a lot more meals that I just naturally gravitate towards
like salmon on the grill with a big old salad just really mixing and matching
the recipes from the app rather than just sticking to bland chicken breast
but the main realization I've had since working out with Chris is how important
just mindfulness attitude and hard work is not just in training but setting
goals in life manifesting your goals into reality is truly possible it just
takes a lot of time ever and most important thing is focus this experience
is proof that your thoughts and your actions will attract like-minded people
into your life whatever you're looking for it's also looking for you most
likely if your intentions are pure and you work daily at it if you use the
tools of your mind and your willpower you will create those circumstances that
will allow you to achieve your goals no matter how distant or unrealistic they
may seem it is all possible it's just up to you to make it into a reality this is
working out for 90 days like Chris Hemsworth
I am hands-down in the best shape of my life I have never felt better physically
or mentally in that all areas I am so much stronger 100% yes I would consider
the past 90 days a success my functional fitness levels are sky-high in body
weight endurance exercises like push-ups I've seen incredible strength gains in
my back I'm now doing Ben Rhodes with 100 pound dumbbells and my arms have
become defined and strong I'm day 1 of this challenge
I was struggling to jump broke for even 10 seconds now I can jump rope for 10
minutes easily again Chris I want to thank you for the inspiration and next
time I'm in Australia I'll be sure to hit your first-serve
we talked about this encouraged me don't grudge you're doing grind oh yes
