Chris Hemsworth shares his at-home workout with household items

Chris Hemsworth is isolating with his family in idyllic Byron Bay as the world tries to flatten the curve amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Australian actor caught up with Ellen DeGeneres over video call to share funny anecdotes about being stuck at home with his three children and wife Elsa Pataky, and also showed off his at-home workout routine using items around the house.

"They're missing other kids, playing, interaction," Hemsworth said of his children, daughter India, seven, and six-year-old twin boys Tristan and Sasha. "We're missing sending them to school," he added jokingly, "which is the break you get for a few hours a day.

"And I tell you, trying to homeschool them is an absolute feat in itself," he continued. "It's about three hours of negotiation and then maybe if you're lucky about 20 minutes of actual work."

Hemsworth, an avid surfer, said most of the beach car parks in his area had been closed to prevent people congregating, but that he still managed to get out on the water while keeping his distance from others.

"There's a spot where you're lucky if you see anyone for a mile or so, so we tend to go to the beach there with the kids if we can," he said. "It's just so much uncertainty. Even doing that feels like it's full of caution."

Then Hemsworth proceeded to demonstrate his at-home working requiring only a few household items, including a laundry basket, detergent and cans of food.

As DeGeneres' producer Andy Lassner followed along, Hemsworth did some squats while holding the laundry basket, bicep curls with cans of soup and squat-to-presses with laundry detergent.

And of course he made it look incredibly easy.
