Exercise with Andy: Living Room Workout 25

Welcome to my living room workout series! Each week, I share a workout from my personal exercise routine — and then do it in real time so you can follow along. These workouts are optional and are simply one of the many ways you can accomplish your daily exercise.

Living Room Workout 25

This week’s workout is really quick (because I have a meeting to go to — maybe you do, too?)

There are ten different exercises in this workout. We’ll do two 20-second sprints of each movement, with 10-seconds of rest in between (for those of you familiar with Tabata intervals, that’s what we’re doing).

I’m not going to explain the exercises ahead of time, so don’t worry too much about getting things “right.” Just watch what I’m doing, listen to your own body, and work at the intensity that works for you. Decrease your depth in an exercise, do push-ups from your knees, or do fewer reps — you’re in charge of your workout!

If you’re worried about the exercises, remember that you have two tries at each movement (plus, you can do this workout again in the future or just watch through the whole thing first to get familiar).

Here’s a list of the exercises for reference:

1. Jumping jacks
2. Plank knee-pulls with a twist
3. Burpees (yay!)
4. Arch rocks
5. Half burpees (half yay!)
6. Plié lunges
7. Squats
8. Bird-pickers
9. Push-ups
10. Speed-skaters
