Gunnar Peterson, America’s most sought-after celebrity fitness coach, is still hitting the gym on a regular basis. A pursual to his social media can give an idea of his workout routines.

Peterson, 60, thinks he can still push harder and thus came up with a new set of workouts. However, he recently treated his Instagram followers with a bizarre exercise.

It’s been 30 years since Peterson is reigning the industry. With his sheer dedication and love for what he does, he has become USA’s one of the most enviable fitness trainers. His clients range from A-listers like Lindsey Vonn, the Kardashians, Sly Stallone, and Tom Brady to average gym Joes. But evidently, that busy schedule couldn’t hinder his training routine, and he starts his day early at 4 AM to keep up with his fitness regime.

Today, the fitness trainer shared a snippet on his Instagram flexing a new workout. “They warned me about tornados in Nashville,” wrote Peterson in the caption. Seemingly, he was lying on a path beside his gym and doing sit-ups. But to add a little more spice to the exercise, Peterson held a tornado ball that he was swinging in and out while performing the workout.
