Chris Hemsworth is gearing up for the sequel to his hit Netflix film Extraction. Of course, he’s got a brand-new workout. Hemsworth just got done filming Thor: Love and Thunder and nothing helps you get over your last love like getting under the next.
Chris Hemsworth is moving away from the heavy weight training to develop a leaner physique this time around. His new workout is a calisthenic driven body weight routine. It features functional movements that promote agility, core strength, muscle tone and speed.
Extraction was one of Netflix’s most watched original films. In the first Extraction film, Chris Hemsworth portrayed a mercenary named Tyler Rake who was hired to recover an Indian drug lord’s son. The film kept up a blistering pace and Hemsworth was running, gunning, and fist fighting like a madman. Maybe he learned some lessons from the first Extraction film and decided to boost his cardio for Extraction 2.
When is Extraction 2 Getting Released?
Hemsworth’s got a bit of extra time on his hands before Extraction 2 gets under way. Covid-19 played a part in the shooting of the sequel to Extraction. The production was moved from Australia earlier in 2021 due to lockdowns and it’s now slated for shoots in Prague. A release date for Extraction 2 can be expected around mid-Summer 2022.

“That’s one thing I must say about Chris’ work ethic: he’s unbelievable. When he gets into a role and has to hustle, work and train, even when he’s working on a script or just in the gym, when it’s time to go to work, he works so hard. He’s got a really good work ethic and pushes himself pretty hard.”
Chris Hemsworth’s New Workout
Here’s a rundown of Chris Hemsworth’s Extraction 2 Workout
* Chris starts out with a 3-minute round of boxing. He trains with a heavy bag and seems to just be getting the cardio going, not necessarily training strike accuracy. Hemsworth probably has a separate day to train martial arts for the film.
* Chris then goes right into a set of 50 bodyweight squats to work the lower body. If you’re trying this workout, be sure to keep good form. Squat down until your thighs are parallel to the ground and then repeat.
* Hemsworth’s next exercise is called a sit through. Basically, you start out on all fours in a crouching position and then sit through side to side by flattening your butt to the floor and kicking your leg through side to side, alternating your lead leg. Do 40 reps of the sit through to improve mobility.
* Chris then goes into an all-out core blitz with 5 different exercises performed together in rapid succession. He starts with a bicycle crunch with alternating left and right punches. Next, is a modified V-sit up with arms out to the side instead of reaching up and toward the toes.
Then, he does standard bicycle crunches followed by straight crunches with alternating left and right punches. Then, Hemsworth does side twists. These are like medicine ball side twists without the medicine ball. He does 20 reps for each exercise.
* If you’re still with us after that punishing ab sequence, then reward yourself with 25 pushups. Chris doesn’t change his arm position to target any specific muscle groups. It’s just a standard push-up exercise.
* The last recommendation for Chris Hemsworth’s Extraction 2 workout is to take a 2-minute rest. It might be helpful to keep a stopwatch or use your smartphone to make sure you get the full rest period. Then, repeat this entire sequence for 4 sets in total.
