Will Smith’s fitness journey is underway!
The actor, 52,shared a videoof his intense workout on Thursday as he embarks on a journey to lose weight gained during theCOVID-19pandemic.
In the beginning of the clip, Smith stands shirtless on a rotating platform. As he comes around to face the camera, Smith shakes his head and says, “that is so nasty.”
The video then cuts to footage from his workout, which included activities like leg presses and bicep curls.
“The Pursuit of Happyness,” Smith captioned the video, a nod to the 2006 film he starred in alongside his sonJaden Smith.
Smith declared earlier this month that he’s in “the worst shape of my life” and is determined to prioritize his fitness.
“This is the body that carried me through an entire pandemic and countless days grazing thru the pantry,” he captioned ashirtless photoof himself. “I love this body, but I wanna FEEL better.”
“No more midnight muffins…this is it!” Smith added. “Imma get in the BEST SHAPE OF MY LIFE!!!!!”
