Robbie Amell's Home Workout Is For Everyone

The Flash and Upload star opens up his garage gym to share his workout - by Brett Williams
  • 03 Apr 2020

As the response to the coronavirus pandemic has required people to shelter in place and closed gyms, you've no doubt had to get creative to keep up as much of your daily routines as possible. You're not alone. For actors whose roles require them to be in particularly good shape, the quarantine period has offered a particular challenge: how to maintain their screen-worthy fitness level while they don't have direct access to their trainers and facilities they typically use.

WATCH: See His Full Workout Below

Robbie Amell, the actor you might know as Firestorm from CW's The Flash and Amazon's upcoming Upload (dropping May 1 on Prime), is currently faced with that dilemma. His situation is particularly tough, with a six-month-old baby in the house. Time, space, and energy might be limited—but Amell still found some time to lead us through his fitness routine from his garage in California.

#tbt to #TheTomorrowPeople when I was in way better shape than I am now. Time to get back to work.

Thankfully, a hectic schedule is already normal for Amell with his shooting schedule, before the baby or the pandemic came along. He's used to flexibility in his routine so the adjustment isn't quite as painful as it might have been. "My workouts consist of 10, 15 minute increments because I don't always have an hour or an hour and a half," he says.

Amell led us through some of his favourite moves, broken down by muscle group—so don't try to recreate this whole routine step-by-step. He might have some more equipment than you do in your home, but you can still cherrypick some exercises that fit with your routine. Just make sure that you're working within your abilities.

More than anything else, Amell encourages everyone training at home to prioritise activity over everything else. "Obviously, times are really weird right now, but I think it's really important to try and stay active, whether it's pushups, situps, burpees, jumping jacks, you know, anything to just get the blood flowing and get the endorphins going," he says.
