For everyone stuck missing their typical workout routines with gyms and fitness centers closed down, we've done our best to provide as many at-home workout options as possible . But that's just the start. We're also hosting live workout sessions on Instagram with some of our favorite trainers to fill the fitness class-shaped void in your daily routine.

Men's Health fitness director Ebenezer Samuel, C.S.C.S. , creator of the New Rules of Muscle program on All Out Studio , hosted the latest session. If you're trying to follow along at home, you'll need some equipmentbut don't worry if you don't have your own personal gym at your disposal. All you need for this total-body routine is a a resistance band and a platform to elevate for pushups. You can also get by without the band, too.
