Chris Hemsworth has begun principal photography on Thor: Ragnarok, and to keep himself fit between periods of hammer-wielding, he's been conforming to a series of everyday workouts developed by his trainer. This predominantly bodyweight giant-set keeps his core tight, allowing him to simply drop the weight when he needs to get his Avenging abs on! Why not give it a try?
THE EXERCISES STEP-BY-STEP:

1. Incline treadmill sprint
Sets: 1 / Reps: 10 x 30 seconds / Rest: 10 x 30 seconds
Set the incline at 15 and the speed at 12. Alternate between 30 seconds of sprinting and 30 seconds of rest by standing with feet either side of the belt, letting it run.

2.Ab wheel rollout
Sets: 5 / Reps: 10 / Rest: 0
Get on all fours, holding an ab wheel in both hands, (if you don’t have one, use a small barbell with a towel wrapped around it). Roll forward, keeping your back straight, knees on the floor and extending your arms in front of you, then tighten your abs to pull yourself back to the starting position.

3. Frozen V-sit
Sets: 5 / Reps: 10 / Rest: 0
Lie down on your back with your arms and legs outstretched and your hands and feet lifted just above the floor. Begin the exercise by simultaneously raising your torso and legs up to touch your feet. Hold for the required time

4. Russian twist
Sets: 5 / Reps: 10 / Rest: 0
Sit holding a weight plate or a medicine ball with your arms extended and feet off the floor. Quickly twist at the torso, turning from side to side.

5. Star plank
Sets: 5 / Reps: 10 / Rest: 120 secs
From a push-up position, walk your palms and toes out and away from your body until they form an x-shape. Brace your core to keep a flat line from your head to your hips and toes. Hold for the required time then walk back to a normal push-up position.
