What kind of exercises are in the Allan Morrow The workout?

  • sit-up

    Sit-ups are a classic core exercise where the athlete moves from a lying position to an upright seated position, engaging the abdominal muscles throughout. A common feature in sit-up workouts, this foundational movement builds endurance and strength in the front of the core.

    In this workout, sit-ups target the rectus abdominis and hip flexors, improving trunk flexion and midline control. They’re easy to scale, require minimal space, and can be performed for reps, speed, or volume—making them a versatile choice for conditioning and core development.

  • Burpee

    The burpee is a simple, full-body movement that combines a squat, plank, and jump into one explosive exercise. It’s a staple in nearly every burpee workout thanks to its ability to build cardio endurance, coordination, and mental toughness — fast.

    In this workout, burpees spike your heart rate, challenge your engine, and require no equipment. Whether you're doing them over a bar, onto a target, or just flat out, burpees are a true test of grit and conditioning.

  • jumping lunge

    The jumping lunge is a high-intensity, plyometric movement that builds explosive leg power, balance, and endurance. Common in many jumping lunge workouts, it challenges both your lower body strength and cardiovascular capacity.

    In this workout, jumping lunges train quads, glutes, hamstrings, and core stability, all while improving coordination and agility. Whether performed for reps or time, the jumping lunge adds speed, intensity, and athleticism to any functional fitness routine.
