Chris Pratt has received a lot of support after revealing that he gained “fluff” after taking a month off from working out.

On Thursday, the 45-year-old actor stepped out Instagram to share a video of himself in his home gym after the holidays and encouraged fans to join him on DEF Reset.

The Fitness Challenge, also known as Discipline Equals Freedom Reset, is a month-long training plan sponsored by Jocko Fuel that includes masterclasses and other content to promote weight loss.

In the video, the Guardians of the Galaxy star gave an inspiring speech, which included clips of himself working out in hopes of “transforming” his body.

Is there anyone out there dealing with December fats? I know! Love handles are full of energy and fluffy,’ she wrote in the caption.

‘But that’s what the beginning of the new year is for!! Def reboot started yesterday. Knocked out on the second day today. LESS !!!’

Chris Pratt has received a lot of support after revealing he gained ‘fluff’ after taking a month off from working out.

In the video the actor told fans: ‘Hey, what’s up? Happy new year. Here we go, day one DEF Reset. Will you join me? Do it, let’s go.

‘I took the whole month of December off, it was glorious and I gained a bit of fluff in this section,’ he said, stroking his stomach. “The love handles are full of fuel, I’ll have to work on them.”

The Parks and Recreation alum continued, “I’m going to start some fasted cardio, I’m going to do some burpees, I’m going to do some weights.”

In terms of his bottom line, the actor said he wants to get “in top shape” before filming the second season of his hit show Terminal List.

‘Anyway, it’s day one and my goal is to be in the best shape possible before we start filming the second season of Terminal List, which is in March. That gives me between eight and ten weeks.

Pratt has gained and lost weight in previous roles to better fit his individual characters on screen, demonstrating his dedication to the craft.

He previously admitted that he intentionally gained weight for his roles in Delivery Man (2013) and Parks and Recreation (2009-2015) because he thought it was funnier when he weighed more.

“I hope to transform my body, I’m not new to this game, I took some time off and now it’s time to get back on that horse. Why don’t you get on that horse with me? Pratt told his 45.2 millions of followers.

‘DEF Reset day one, tag me, let’s do it together. Here we go, happy new year everyone,” he said, adding clips of himself running on a treadmill. ‘DEF reset day one complete. Your turn, let’s go.’

Despite his success, Pratt remains candid about the challenges of maintaining a toned and built physique.

He told Fox News in 2019: “Honestly, there’s no trick or secret to it.” It’s about pursuing it, being patient and consistent.”

Elsewhere in the interview he said, “If you cut all that shit out of your diet and spend an hour a day doing something physical, you’ll feel better mentally, physically, and spiritually, because it’s all tied together.”

In mid-December, the A-list actor was spotted with his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, 35, and son Jack, 12, while visiting a local farmers market in Los Angeles.
