I'm a huge sports fan, and I'm always wondering what types of workouts my favorite professional athletes do to train. One sport I absolutely love is track and field, and Olympic hurdler Queen Harrison-Claye [1] (she specializes in the 100-meter hurdles) shared a quick, high-intensity bodyweight workout that will give you a taste of what it takes to be a world-class athlete.
In the video, Harrison-Claye explains that this workout is for people limited on time and space, but don't be fooled — you're going to be gassed once it's over! If you want to give it a shot, check out the full video above and the breakdown of exercises below.
