“Anyone out there dealing with the December Fats? I know I am! Love handles fueled up and fluffy,” the Jurassic World alum wrote on an Instagram video he shared of his first day back in the gym on Jan. 2. “But that’s what the start of the new year is for!! Started Def Reset Yesterday. Knocked out day two today.”
As Pratt, 45, said in the video, “I took the entire month of December off. It was glorious and I gained a little bit of fluff in this section,” he said, rubbing his stomach. “The love handles are all fueled up. Gonna have to work on those.”

Chris Pratt said he has to work on his "love handles" after taking the month of December off from the gym.For day one, he shared that he did cardio, burpees and weights, with his goal being “to be in the best shape I could possibly be by the time we start filming The Terminal List season two which is in March. That gives me about 8 to 10 weeks. So I'm hoping to transform my body. I'm not new to this game,” he added, referring to how he famously transformed from Parks and Recreation’s lovable goofball Andy to the shredded Marvel superstar Peter Quill in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.
For his second day of workouts, Pratt shared a video to his Instagram stories of his 24-minute workout, which included planks and squats. “All I’m using today is a floor to show you that you don’t need a big gorgeous gym to work out, you need the willpower and you need a surface,” he said. “You got a floor, I’m assuming. If you don’t got a floor, clean some of the s—t off the floor and get your workout in.”

“Don’t do it!” he yelled, whimpering. “I take it back. Quit. Quit while you can.”
In a followup post, Pratt added, “I want to apologize for that moment of weakness where I encouraged you to quit. I actually finished the workout. I took 26 minutes.”
“My whole day’s gonna be better,” he said. “One day at a time. My day’s gonna be better, and I hope yours is, too. Don’t quit.”
