Exercise with Andy: Living Room Workout 18

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 18

Today’s workout consists of 12 intervals of 30-seconds work followed by 30-seconds rest. You will do nine different exercises over the course of this workout. Your goal is to do as many reps of each exercise as you can within the thirty-second interval.

Watch the video for full instruction on how to safely do the movements and how to scale them to your fitness and ability level. Remember, this is your workout and it’s perfectly okay if it looks different than mine. That said, following along with me in this video is going to give you the motivation to keep going, even if our workouts look totally different!

The twelve intervals go like this:

1. Squats
2. Push-ups
3. Vertical hip-ups
4. Jumping lunges (or stepping lunges)
5. Flag push-ups
6. Plank knee-pulls
7. Birdpickers
8. Plank-ups
9. V-ups
10. Squats
11. Push-ups
12. Vertical hip-ups

Note: When you repeat the squats, push-ups, and vertical hip-ups, remind yourself of your numbers from intervals one, two, and three. Aim to match, if not beat those numbers.
