Watching the Olympics always presents a huge catch-22: Seeing incredible athletes do their thing is bound to make you want to get up and to the gym to improve your strength—but you kind of also just want to stay on your couch and keep watching.
So why not use your time in front of the TV to get in a home workout? Try this video by online fitness guru (and almost Olympian) Amanda Russell. Watch this 5-minute video to learn her killer interval sequence, then get moving while you watch some powerful inspiration on the screen.

I love the workout. I'm a lover of fitness and this exercise. However you have to remember that the average person is overweight they cant do handstand kicks, So as the article states it's defiantly for a incredible athlete not a beginner. Love the site!
Would it be possible for you to break down the dive bomb and Turkish Get Up. I've done modifications of both, so the lowest level of those moves, but would love to see those and your other exercises broken down...possibly into three levels of ability or even four - novice, easy, intermediate and advanced. Thank you. Also, does this workout cover the major muscle groups? Is there a warm up sequence you'd recommend? I.e. start with these same exercises, but at the lowest level? Just curious as I did enjoy the design of this workout.
