Jon has filmed himself doing most of this workout, nearly as described above. The challenge is the only difference. Try to stay more upright in your Russian Twists Mine are too low: https://youtu.be/3iMon9EAxwU

I find it helps a if you have some music going in the background. Here is a 1 hour playlist I like to work out to.
