Here is the exercise breakdown:
- Plank Walk + Push-ups
- Clap Push-ups
- Hanging Leg Raises

Here’s a sneak peek into the exercise habits of Runtastic’s former CEO:
What is the shortest workout you ever did?
For Florian, every minute matters. That’s why it’s not uncommon that he would do a 2-minute Push-up workout in the morning just to feel more energized. “Sometimes I do 100 Push-ups when I wake up, just to start the day feeling strong.”
Is there an exercise that you hate?
“Stretching is not my favorite. I prefer the feeling of a challenging workout and I like to work on my flexibility by moving,” says Florian. “Oh and… Burpees. There’s a serious love/hate relationship going on there.” 🙂
If you could choose only one exercise for a whole workout…
You guessed it… it would be push-ups! There are so many Push-up variations, it’s never boring. The Push-ups work more than just your chest and triceps. Trying out challenging variations trains your abs & lower back strength and stability. “But I prefer to cover all muscle groups in my weekly training; variety and smart planning is my priority.”

Strength training is not his only choice. Florian loves running, and signing up for races is a great way to stay motivated and share success with your team!
So, what’s his secret?
“Training is a tool to make you excel in other things. Use it in your own way. If you hate an exercise, find a replacement. If you have only 2 minutes, do a quick pump. Have a high quality, basic training plan, but stay open and think outside the box.”
There are so many reasons why a healthy lifestyle makes you more successful. Stop making excuses and find what works for you. Use your training as a tool for success.
