Well, in reality this routine can be useful for just about anyone. First, lets look at the exercise:

So what you’re going to do is get down into pushup position. Bring your right hand and touch the left side of your body, without twisting. Just a quick tap is enough.

Repeat with the other hand on the other side. Next, lift your right leg and bring your knee towards your chest as far it will go. Return to starting position and repeat with the other side.

Finally, perform a pushup. So, there’s three exercises you are doing consecutively: 1) opposite hip touch, 2) mountain climber, and 3) pushup.

There are many different ways you can organize this into a routine. If you saw the video, you see Chris Lopez in regular clothes, working out in the hallway. Lets say you have 5 minutes between meetings, you can just get down, and perform the bodyweight routine for 5 minutes straight.

You can also use this routine as a simple warm up before your regular workout. It’s a great way to get your heart rate up, but it may not provide an intense workout for stronger individuals.

Making this workout even harder is very simple. Here are some ideas:

Opposite Hip Touch

• Lift your opposite leg off the floor as well. For example, left your leg foot off the floor, and touch our left side with your right hand.
• Perform a plank for 30 seconds before starting the movement.

Mountain Climber

• Jump slightly and bring both your legs in at the same time.
• Bring your legs in, and stand up.

Pushup

• Perform the pushups on an elevated surface.
• Perform a close grip pushup
• Bring your feet off the ground behind you, place them against a wall, and perform a handstand pushup.

I can go on and on with unique ideas and exercises you can use to keep modifying this simple routine to make it harder. But the main idea that I want you to take away from this is not to use “busy” or “lack of equipment” as an excuse to not working out.

A simple 5-minute daily workout will keep in good health.
