Lenny Kravitz’s Viral Workout Video Raises Eyebrows Among Fitness Professionals
Despite what Us Weekly may claim, celebrities are not just like us, especially when it comes to their workout routines. This was made abundantly clear when rock star Lenny Kravitz posted a jaw-dropping workout video on Tuesday that quickly went viral.
In the video, Mr. Kravitz, 59, can be seen sporting a plum-colored muscle tank, leather pants, black boots, and his signature sunglasses as he tackles a grueling exercise routine. The workout involves a decline bench and a barbell with weights on each side, and consists of a combination of a pullover, situp, and shoulder press.
The video, which garnered 22.4 million views on the X platform, features the soundtrack “Life Ain’t Ever Been Better Than It Is Now” from Mr. Kravitz’s 2011 album, “Black and White America.” In the caption, he expressed gratitude and motivation, urging his followers to seize the day and embrace the possibilities.
While the video received supportive comments from fellow celebrities, including fire emojis from model Alton Mason, fitness industry professionals had a different take. Nearly a dozen trainers interviewed for this article expressed skepticism about the routine, with many stating that they would not recommend it to any client, regardless of fitness level.
Some trainers criticized the workout as ineffective and potentially risky, citing concerns about shoulder mechanics and the risk of injury. Others viewed it as a flashy display of ego and showmanship, with one trainer remarking that the routine was more about maintaining Mr. Kravitz’s persona than actual fitness benefits.
Despite the mixed reactions from fitness professionals, one thing is clear: Lenny Kravitz’s workout video has sparked a conversation about the extremes some celebrities go to in the name of fitness. Whether it’s a daring display of strength or a risky move, one thing is for certain – celebrities like Lenny Kravitz are definitely not just like us when it comes to their workout routines.
