Back in October, the folks over at Men’s Health UK got together with Avengers star Chris Hemsworth to discuss how he gets and stays in shape to play an Asgardian god.
In the discussion, Hemsworth explained how he likes to use HIIT (high intensity interval training) or Tabata system (a variant of HIIT) workouts due to being able to complete an intense workout in a short amount of time.
Now, his personal trainer Luke Zocchi explains how he has Hemsworth also train using the HIRT method, another variant of HIIT, which stands for high-intensity resistance training.
