Chris Hemsworth and his trainer, Luke Zocchi, are known for sharing their workout routines while prepping the Australian actor’s ripped physique for roles in films like Thor and the Extraction. Recently, Hemsworth shared a rigorous medicine ball routine while promoting his lifestyle wellness app called Centrfit.
Hemsworth is accustomed to getting in peak physical condition for the movie roles he partakes in. Launching his lifestyle wellness app called Centrfit in 2020, the star has used his fitness endeavor to help him accomplish a more toned physique. The decision to get into the fitness business sector has certainly paid dividends for the popular actor. Hemsworth enjoys being able to share his workouts with fans and the public eye too.
Going through several body transformations for his Hollywood movie roles, Hemsworth practices what he preaches. With a focus on improving strength, agility, and speed, the Australian actor carved out an even more muscular physique for his role in Extraction. However, the acting icon admits that he had to transition from weight training to bodyweight training to facilitate the physical changes his body underwent.
If you’re in need of motivation, look no further. Hemsworth is practicing accessible workouts that just about anyone can try out. Medicine ball techniques are a great exercise for losing weight and shedding calories as well.

With a lighter medicine ball, these exercises can be manageable for people of all fitness levels. Medicine ball techniques are about intensity and less about the amount of weight leveraged.
