Chris Hemsworth's trainer shares five bodyweight exercises to burn calories fast

Luke Zocchi taking Chris Hemsworth through a workout.

Don't be hard on yourself if you feel you've gone a little overboard on the mince pies and chocolate this festive season. Food is the perfect fuel for this beginner-friendly workout created by Centr and Chris Hemsworth's very own personal trainer, Luke Zocchi. Not only does it require no home gym equipment, but it'll burn calories, build strength and improve your cardiovascular fitness.

Luke says: “These exercises are going to burn maximum calories, but I don’t want you to look at exercise as just burning calories. I want you to look at exercise as a way to get stronger, build endurance and be a better version of yourself. To burn maximum calories, you want to recruit as many muscles as possible and stay away from isolation exercise.” This means compound exercises are your best friend, as the more muscles your body uses, the more energy it requires, resulting in a higher calorie burn, and that’s exactly what Luke’s workout consists of.
