Transcript excerpt

I do a CrossFit workout called Cindy. It's five pull ups, 10 push ups, 15 squats as many times as you can in twenty minutes. I think my record is 27 rounds. As your friendly neighborhood twenty minute guy, this kind of felt inevitable. Time starts now. Bad time, 24 rounds. Tom Holland, you're a beast. I just got gassed. Before today, I bad only ever done every minute on the minute, so I'd done 20. Meaning today was my first time going all up, and it felt like it. And if you're new here, twenty minute workouts and simple diet took me from looking like this on day one to today looking like this. Because today's day three fifty one of seeing if I can get jacked in under twenty minutes a day. I'll get you next time. That was hard, but so much fun. And honestly, I can't believe I get to do this for work. But as always, thank you for being here. God bless. Have a good one. See you.
