Chris Hemsworth is known for his superhero-sized workouts and with a mid-section as chiselled as his, the 42 year-old clearly still isn\u2019t skipping his core training. However, his latest core move might surprise you \u2013 as it\u2019s not his usual go-to kick-sit, bicycle crunches or flutter kicks.<\/p>\n

In a recent Instagram post, the actor shared a series of pictures of him doing standing rotational side throws to give his core a functional boost. However, there\u2019s more to this move than simply hurling a ball across your body and into a wall.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Not only does it help build rotational strength<\/a> and power in the core \u2013 particularly the obliques \u2013 but the hips too, as they internally and externally rotate. Your glutes and legs get involved too, helping drive force from the ground up, while the shoulders play a key role in whipping the ball across your body. In short: it\u2019s a seriously effective functional exercise.<\/p>\n

Although you may not see many people knocking it out in the gym (it\u2019s often a move favoured by athletes that require rotational power, like in golf, rugby and tennis), strengthening the body in the transverse plane (the plane of rotation) is something almost everyone can benefit from, as we twist, turn, bend, and reach throughout daily life.<\/p>\n

Add it to your next core day, and you\u2019ll see why it\u2019s one of Chris Hemsworth\u2019s favourite moves for staying superhero-strong.<\/p>\n
