Chris Hemsworth is known for his bulky triceps, pecs more defined than the armour of a Roman warrior and abs only suited for a god from the Norse mythology.

But how is he maintaining the impressive physique at a time when gyms are more dangerous than healthy and exercising out in the open is not an option? 

Well, the Thor  actor shared a personalised workout routine on his Instagram account in which he gets his muscles activated with whatever items he could find around his house and it is simply awesome.

With his friend and trainer, Luke Zocchi, Hemsworth starts the video by talking about all the items the two are going to use including a couple of detergent jugs, a stool and a laundry basket. 

Hereâs how the Australianâs routine goes: 

1.     Burpee + Shoulder Press

Hemsworth uses a set of detergent jugs to replace the dumbbells and gets into it. He begins a set with a push-up followed by picking up the jugs and into a shoulder press.

One set includes six reps.

2.     Stool Dips

Zocchi gets into a dips position with a stool replacing the bench at the gym and gets his chest (pectoralis major) and triceps burning.

One set includes six reps.

3.  Tricep Kickbacks

While his trainer gets busy with the dips, Hemsworth sneaks a quick set of tricep kickbacks with a set of dumbbells.

One set includes six reps.

4.   âLaundryâ Squats

While you can do squats freehand, with a barbell over your shoulders or a set of dumbbells, Chris chooses something simpler, a laundry basket. 

He keeps the basket loaded with clothes (and eventually the two detergent jugs) in front of his torso and starts working on his quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, abdominals and calves.

One set includes six reps.

5.    Cross-Body Mountain Climbers

Yet another exercise that requires no equipment, cross-body mountain climbers as shown by Zocchi focuses essentially on your abdominals, hips, chest, shoulders, triceps and pays a considerable amount of focus to your body overall.

One set includes six reps (each side).

6.  Sit-Throughs

A core workout, the sit-throughs executed by the two in the video also allow you to work on your shoulders and hips while taking care of your overall body mobility and build coordination. 

One set includes six reps (each side).

These six exercises complete one set of your workout. Repeat the circuit five more times and your daily quota of working on your body and moving towards becoming stronger, despite the self-quarantine , is complete.
