Latorya Watts’ Total-Body Home Workout

Latorya Watts didn’t win two Figure Olympia titles—and place second in another two— by sitting around, so it’s no surprise that Covid-19 quarantine hasn’t slowed her down.

The longtime competitor recently took over the Olympia’s Instagram page, and she proved that a dose of creativity can help you get a workout in no matter the circumstances.

But first thing’s first: Watts starts her morning by drinking two cups of water to rehydrate and does an immunity and electrolyte shot. She takes a walk every day since gyms are closed in quarantine in addition to her usual fasted cardio, which is 30 minutes on the spin bike three to five days a week in the off season.

For her main workout, Watts showed fans a creative home routine that can be done with minimal equipment. She uses some napkins, recycled plastic container lids, barstools, a backpack, gallon water bottles, and a broom handle.

Here are the moves and her suggested sets and reps. (You can watch them here in the story highlights).

• Glute-Ham Bridge Sliders (using napkins as sliders): 30- to 60-second intervals
• Bridge Hamstring Curls (using napkins as sliders): 30- to 60-second intervals
• Alternating Sliding Lunges (using a napkin under the back foot): 4 sets of 15-20 reps
• Biceps Curls (using the backpack looped around the broom handle like a barbell): 4 sets of 15-20 reps
• Upright Rows (using the backpack-broom handle barbell): 4 sets of 15-20 reps
• Shoulder Press (using the backpack-broom handle barbell): 4 sets of 15-20 reps
• Front Squats (using gallon jugs as weights): 4 sets of 15-20 reps
• Pullups (inverted, using the broom handle placed across the barstools): 3 sets of 10-12 reps
• Chinups (inverted, using the broom handle placed across the barstools): 3 sets of 10-12 reps
• One-arm Rows (with gallon jug, using barstool for support with the opposite arm): 4 sets of 15-20 reps
