Jojo Siwa clearly isn't opposed to time-consuming workouts. The singer and Dance Moms alum shared the complete breakdown of a recent session in a post on TikTok, noting that it was "about a two-hour workout," in the clip's voiceover.
Starting with stretches and then warming up her body by jumping rope was a smart move, according to Moore. "Raising the body temperature and increasing blood flow to muscles prior to strenuous movement is another way to lower the risk of injury and may also lessen muscle soreness, especially when the workout volume is high as in this one," she says.
Of course, the exercises that Siwa completed after her warm-up all have their own unique benefits. Pull-ups “are one of the most effective exercises for incorporating multiple muscle groups — the back, shoulders, biceps, and core — and building a foundation of upper body functional strength,” while mountain climbers increase cardio endurance and strength and “involve a significant amount of core work,” says Moore. As for push-ups, the classic is “one of my favorite exercises because they are a compound movement that maximizes training efficiency,” says Moore — meaning, they give you a lot of bang for your buck.
Siwa noted the number of sets and reps she completed for each exercise, providing a blueprint for anyone who dares attempt to work out like her. But if exercising for two hours straight doesn't sound appealing or achievable, you can still take a cue from the reality star by combining stretching, cardio, and strength training for a well-rounded workout regimen.
