We know, another Chris Hemsworth article, but what are we meant to do when the man continues to serve up nutrition inspiration, workout goals, and total body hacks. The man is a walking, talking bible of health, and when he delivers the goods, we’re committed to dishing it up to you to better your own human experience.
Currently in London filming the reboot for 90’s hit Men In Black, Hemsworth is sweating it out with the rest of the UK during their record breaking heat wave. And while he’s got a mobile gym on set when he’s away from his Byron Bay base, Thor took the chance to get outside and take his training to the park.
Hitting ‘the local’ with trainer Luke Zocchi, Hemsworth can be seen getting put through his paces in a series of boxing combos, before brutally axing Zocchi with a kick to the face. “Sorry for the boot in the face,” Hemsworth captioned the video.
In the video posted to his Instagram over the weekend, Hemsworth can be seen going through a range of boxing combos while smashing the pads with his own personalised “Thor” gloves. In the ‘blink-and-you’ll-miss-it’ video, there are a variety of combos that you can easily borrow, so we’ve transcribed his workout for you. Grab a mate, and hit the park in the pursuit of Hemsworth’s alien-battling combat skills.
Men In Black Boxing Workout
When boxing your non-dominant hand will always deliver the jab. In Hemsworth’s case, his left hand delivers the jab. Keep your hands up in a guard position under your chin when not throwing punches, and keep your left foot forward if you are right handed. (Reverse Hemsworth’s positioning if you are left handed)
