Happy Birthday, Liam Hemsworth! Here's how the actor stays fit
Liam Hemsworth, known for his chiseled physique and on-screen charisma, has long been a beacon of fitness inspiration. The Australian actor's commitment to a healthy lifestyle is evident in his muscular build and overall well-being. So, what are the fitness secrets that contribute to Hemsworth's enviable physique? As the actor turns 34, let's take a look at his fitness mantras.
The actor prefers functional workouts
Hemsworth prefers functional training, typically HIIT exercises over heavy lifts. His trainer Luke Zocchi, in an interview, shared that Hemsworth aspired to be strong, fit, and functional. According to Zocchi, whenever they trained together, it was more akin to supersets of body-weight exercises or kettlebell circuit training, instead of deadlifts. Additionally, the actor loves doing Tabata which is a short-duration high-intensity workout.
Hemsworth consumes 4-5 meals a day
The actor eats four or five meals a day. He increases the quantity of meals he eats when he needs to gain weight. Simultaneously, he ensures that his body is not fueled by unhealthy calories. Full, unprocessed foods are Hemsworth's top dietary priority. These include a variety of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and complex carbs. However, he does cheat meals occasionally.
The actor pushes his bar really high
Hemsworth likes to make his workout fun
The Hunger Games star finds working out on a treadmill to be quite monotonous. For him, enjoying and having a great time during a cardio workout is just as important as working up a sweat. He thus prefers doing a variety of sports and pastimes, including boxing, surfing, and running. He believes that punching for almost 20 minutes is thrilling.
He makes good use of time
Due to his busy schedule, Hemsworth does not often have enough time to spend at the gym. Thus, he shifts his focus to working out effectively and efficiently to return to the set looking his best. The actor thus tries to fit multiple tasks into a busy schedule. He reportedly performs push-ups, air squats or situps while hiking on extended outdoor excursions.
