Lenny Kravitz’s Viral Workout Video Raises Eyebrows Among Fitness Professionals
In a recent workout video posted by rock star Lenny Kravitz, the musician showcased a unique and intense exercise routine that left many in awe. The video, which quickly went viral with 22.4 million views on social media, featured Kravitz in a plum-colored muscle tank, leather pants, and black boots, performing a series of challenging exercises with a barbell.
While the video received supportive comments from fellow celebrities, including fire emojis from model Alton Mason, fitness industry professionals had a different take on the routine. Nearly a dozen professional trainers expressed concerns about the exercise, with many stating that they would not recommend it to any clients, regardless of their fitness level.
Mike Yablon, a bodybuilder and personal trainer, called the exercise “ridiculous,” while Roxanne Edwards, a trainer, noted that it may not be as effective as it appears. David Barton, who leads Gym U in New York, advised against trying the routine at home, emphasizing the potential risk of injury.
Despite the criticism, some trainers acknowledged the level of fitness required to perform the movements in the video. Marcella Mello, a trainer at Complete Body, described the routine as “creative but risky,” attributing it to Kravitz’s persona and the trainer’s ego.
Ultimately, the video sparked a debate among fitness professionals about the effectiveness and safety of such showy routines. While some admired Kravitz’s dedication to fitness, others cautioned against attempting similar exercises without proper guidance.
As the discussion continues, one thing is clear: celebrities like Lenny Kravitz may not be just like us when it comes to their workout routines.
