At-home or bodyweight workouts might be a new thing for most people, but certified personal trainer and soccer coach Andy McDermott has been doing it for years.
His YouTube channel, McDermott Family Fitness and Homeschool, is filled with workout routines you can do anywhere along with homeschooling tips (he and his wife, Julie, have taught their four children themselves). He’s also written many bodyweight and at-home workout routines for Muscle & Fitness in the past — here’s his fat-torching jump rope routine.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic shut down gyms everywhere, McDermott had not uploaded a fitness video in about a year. But now he’s on a mission to keep people motivated during these tough times to get a workout in from their apartment, nearby playground, or just about any open space.
