Will Smith Hilariously Tries to Remember How to Use a Gym After Quarantine: 'Feeling the Burn'

Will Smith is still getting into the swing of things at the gym post-quarantine!

The actor, 52, posted a hilarious video on Instagram, Wednesday, poking fun at himself and others who might need a refresher when hitting the gym for the first time in well over a year.

The video, dubbed "Trying to remember how to use the gym after quarantine," featured Smith using a variety of exercise equipment incorrectly. One clip showed him swinging from a hanging rope trainer, and in another had him performing arm presses on the leg curl machine.

"Feeling the burn in places I didn't even know were places," he captioned the silly post.
