Lamorne Morris Shows Off His Backyard Workout

Actor Lamorne Morris isn’t just funny on screen. He showed off his comedy chops, which you might recognize from shows like New Girl, from the moment he started shooting his at-home workout for Men’s Health.

“Hi, I’m Sterling K. Brown, and I would just like to show you the workout that I do when I’m at home,” Morris said in a pretty good impression of MH cover guy Brown’s smooth intonation. “I love planks because it reminds me of how I like to do things when I’m in the bedroom—very much so missionary position. I’m very polite with my sexual moves. Again, I’m Sterling K. Brown.”

Eventually, Morris busts out in laughs and breaks character, ready for his own spotlight moment. The actor is in his backyard, where he’s set to show Men’s Health how he does his home workouts. He’s FaceTiming with his trainer, Eduard ‘Eddie’ Baruto, global head of personal training at UP Fitness in Los Angeles. Baruto helped get Morris into shape for his role in the film Bloodshot.

“This is for all the folks out there who want to look as sexy as me, because obviously, given the gift that God has given me, one of the more unique, sexy bodies of all-time, I want to show you how I achieve said body,” he says.

His 25-minute total-body superset workout targets the back, chest, biceps, triceps, and abs.

Superset 1

Perform twice

1A: Incline Bench chest press – 8 reps

1B: Towel landmine row – 8 reps

Rest 1 minute

Just because he’s training doesn’t mean Morris is through joking. “When working out, always wear your LeBron jersey because the heart of a champion then lies within you. You don’t even need a coach when you’re wearing a LeBron jersey. You just know what to do. One more time, what’s that Eddie?” jokes Morris.

Baruto instructs Morris to squeeze his shoulder blades together and hold at the top during the towel landmine row. An extra bonus: Holding the towel during these rows will also help to improve your grip strength.

Superset 2

Perform twice

2A: Flat Bench Press – 12 reps

2B: Incline Dumbbell Row – 12 reps

“Now me, I’m super strong. So I start with a massive amount of weight, due to the nature of my body, and how God created it,” says Morris.

Superset 4

4B: Elbow Plank – 30 seconds

At the end of the recorded workout, Morris shares that he’s not quite done. He closes out with some cardio.

“Make sure when you’re at home, use this time to keep your body active, and keep your mind even more active,” he says. “Stay safe out there, folks.”
