People are having to adjust to quarantine life due to the coronavirus pandemic, and it’s especially tough to exercise since workout options are limited at home (unless you have a home gym). Sensing that people may need something to keep them from going stir-crazy while achieving a buff bod for when the coronavirus lockdown is over, Chris Hemsworth, Arnold Schwarzenegger and others have got some home workout solutions for you.
Speaking of being in lockdown, the GOAT team talk about handling the coronavirus quarantine creatively on ‘It’s Been A Big Day For…’ below:
Since gyms and sporting facilities are closed due to the coronavirus, Chris Hemsworth has decided to make his fitness app, Centr, free for six weeks, which is apparently the time it takes to get a rig like a Nordic god.
As for what exactly is on Centr that’ll transform you into Thor while you’re stuck at home under coronavirus self-isolation, the app offers things like daily workout videos, meal plans, recipes and mental exercises.
There is a catch though. New users have only until March 31 to sign up to Chris Hemsworth’s Centr app so you better get on it now or miss out the apparent secret to getting a buff bod like his while sitting on the couch.
Not to be outdone on the home workout front, Arnold Schwarzenegger has also chimed in with some super-helpful fitness tips that we can all do during our coronavirus-enforced self-isolation.
Since Arnold is also stuck at home (with his tiny horses for company), he’s decided to do something positive for everyone by coming up a simple workout plan that requires no special equipment and sharing it all to Reddit, complete with visual demonstrations (featuring him back in his prime).
Now this is the sort of productive content we need.
If Centr isn’t your thing or you don’t want to do a bunch of push ups and sit ups every day, maybe go down the Sam Heughan route and change it up.
Rather than show off a routine featuring dumbbells or exercises involving lifting heavy things (or yourself), the Outlander star shared a video of himself doing a Highland Jig. That’s cardio sorted then.
And of course there’s the recovery phase after all these workouts and what better way to rest up than to chuck a Henry Cavill and indulge in some home baking?
Will these workout plans from Chris Hemsworth, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sam Heughan, Henry Cavill result in a buff bod? Probably not on the level of Thor, especially the home baking routine from Henry, but it’ll keep you physically active and hopefully alleviate the boredom somewhat.
And hey, at least they’re using their platform for something good instead of something dumb, like getting all your celeb pals to perform a tone-deaf cover of John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’.
