Katelyn Ohashi is someone I would love to work out with. As a fellow gymnast, I know that she has a slew of creative exercise moves inspired by conditioning sessions she once did at practice. She even confessed in a POPSUGAR Play/Ground interview last year that she brings booty bands with her while traveling so she can work out in her hotel room.
The UCLA alum and viral sensation recently posted a video to TikTok that shows her exercising at home. Ahead, check out the video, along with moves inspired by her routine that you can try at home! Note: this is not a workout (Ohashi is not a trainer, so we cannot recommend that you do these exercises as one). This is simply a list to help you find more ways to successfully get your sweat on at home.
Ohashi does these with two light dumbbells and a booty band around her thighs.
Ohashi does 180 jump squats without placing her hand on the ground, like this video shows. The height she gets, as well as her perfect toe point, showcase her gymnastics background.
Ohashi doesn't bring both feet together on the ground between each lunge — as seen here — instead, she switches her feet in the air.
In addition to a booty band, Ohashi uses two light dumbbells here, which she holds out in front of her with each side step. She also adds squat pulses to each rep.
I love v-ups! They were a common exercise I used to do during gymnastics practice. Note: Ohashi folds her body pretty much in half when she does these, which is great, but if you can't go all the way up, just try to get your shoulders off the ground as much as possible.
Gymnastics practice typically involves a lot of elevated push-ups, whether off of a mat or a low beam. Ohashi does what are referred to as 90-degree push-ups because her top half (positioned as you would be in a handstand) and her legs (parallel to the floor) make a 90-degree angle. This image shows less-elevated push-ups with the model's feet on a medicine ball. The more elevated your feet are, the more intensity is added to your push-up.
Ohashi does a press handstand from a standing position, which is a gymnastics move. I included this variation instead, which is a handstand facing the wall. If you've never tried a handstand before, check out more beginner moves.
