- I like to keep it moving.
(upbeat music)
- All right, what's up y'all,
I'm Kendrick Sampson.
I am an actor.
I'm on a show called "Insecure".
It's really dope, you should watch it.
I'm about to show y'all my workout routine.
I do whatever my trainer tells me to do.
(upbeat music)
- [Marvin] Dynamic warmup. We warming up his legs, his trunk
and his arms.
Walking lunges rotations, balance is everything.
Here we gone do a lateral lunge.
Left, right, down back.
You actually want to pivot.
Back that in the right corner,
back that in the left corner.
Rotate, core tight.
Here we've got seal jacks.
Five seal jacks, five squats.
Typical dynamic warmup with Kendrick Sampson.
(upbeat music)
We've got simulated ball slams.
12 simulated ball slams.
Working your core, arms and legs.
Arms down, bend at the hips, core tight.
- I got a personal trainer when I could finally afford one.
Before that it was all community exercises.
I used to have a group that I would do hikes
and group workouts with all the time.
I got fit and then my trainer helped me take it
to the next level.
It's more like a business investment for me
because I can afford it.
But that shouldn't limit anybody from finding a place
where they can work out,
in their home or in the community with folks.
- [Marvin] Form. Keep your hips down.
Bring it in, hold for two seconds.
15 reps.
Core.
One, two, five.
Hips up.
One, two, six.
One, two, seven.
(upbeat music)
Shoulders back, core tight.
Keep your feet nice and wide.
Hip flip. Chest tall.
Butt down, lock your shoulders back.
Up squeeze, push hips forward, back down,
Back up. 12 reps.
Drive that knee up. Drive that knee up.
Play it straight, right down.
10 and 10.
Core, balance, glutes, quads.
Nine.
(upbeat music)
- Two.
- That's something that we talk about.
That's really important, especially now,
is building community
and working out as a good community builder.
So, find people and they can do it
within your own time schedule, right?
That's in close proximity to you.
Nutrition is most important.
Making sure you get plenty of water
and rest.
That's probably my weakest area of all, is rest.
And so, it takes a lot.
- [Marvin] Slider step first.
- Oh.
- [Marvin] Good. Push up, step.
One.
Two.
Three.
Here we working pecs and core.
Four.
- All that stuff plays in together. Your spirituality,
your nutrition, your work life, stress levels,
and working out.
All works in concert with each other.
It's all connected.
So you have to make sure
that you're considering all of those aspects
when you're talking about your wellness.
In the grand scheme of things,
my life is about liberation.
My art is about liberation. My activism is about liberation.
Just being fit and working out
and looking good can actually be detrimental,
more than helpful.
So you have to make sure it's all connected
and that you're well-rounded in your wellness.
Not just fitness.
