Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Kenley Jansen was serious about those shoulder presses with his son.
Who knew such little arms could be so strong. There are no off days for his soon-to-be big guy.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has a future Super Bowl champion on his hands. His stud of a son was ballin’ out on the field and in the weight room.
Also, peep the mohawk swag.
Bonding Time! #HardWork w/ Future ???

Today was just a family affair!
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young showed off his moves with his younger brother. Trae might have him beat on the court, but we’re not sure who can boogie down better.

Working out or dancing? We’ll let you decide.
Either way, Phoenix Rising FC goalkeeper Eric Dick is getting his cardio in for the day. We also understand why he needs a change of pace – straight running the stairs is no joke.
Changed up my stair workout just a tad today. Happy Wednesday y’all! Stay Happy! Stay Healthy! Stay Positive! pic.twitter.com/sYqIjo1eAM

Despite the break in play, it looks like ATP men’s No. 1 Novak Djokovic hasn’t lost his touch. We’re not at all surprised he can still put it away with a cooking pan.
Creativity level: 100. Finesse level: 1,000.
Competition never stops ??? #tennisathome??

Talk about hitting it out of the park! And also, proving a point – it seems as though the “Soto Shuffle” does in fact get into a pitcher’s head.
Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner tried out his own version of the move while getting some batting practice in.
All that exercise has us hungry. Let’s check in with Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter and see what he is cooking up in the kitchen.

Go ahead and enjoy a snack or two – we don’t judge during quarantine.
And while you’re at it, why not hit up your favorite athlete?
