Train Like a Pro in Christian McCaffrey’s New Bodyweight Strength Series

iFIT is excited to welcome pro running back Christian McCaffrey with a new bodyweight strength workout series designed to help you move with confidence, consistency, and purpose. These no-equipment workouts offer simple, repeatable ways to feel stronger and more supported through everyday movement.

In Christian’s words,

“Not every day is a sprinting or heavy lifting day. Sometimes you just need to move, and that’s what these workouts are all about.”

Whether you’re easing into a new routine or looking for a dependable way to stay active, this series gives you approachable sessions you can return to anytime you need a reset.

A Series Rooted in Real Athletic Training

Christian brings years of professional experience into these workouts, sharing the same foundational movement patterns he relies on to prepare for the grueling NFL season. His coaching emphasizes steady pacing, breath control, and awareness, all to help you stay grounded in how each exercise feels in your body.

Each session is designed to meet you where you are, making this a welcoming place to begin or rebuild a bodyweight strength routine.

What’s Inside the Christian McCaffrey Bodyweight Strength Series

This four-workout collection offers a simple, structured way to build strength and mobility using movements you can do almost anywhere:

• Three bodyweight strength workouts (about 20 minutes each)

• One mobility-focused session inspired by Christian’s own recovery habits

• Mat-friendly routines designed for whatever space you have

• Coaching that prioritizes form, breath, and controlled, intentional movement

Because the focus is on bodyweight-only movements, these sessions fit easily into your day, from your home to the road, to anywhere you go.

Why Bodyweight Strength Training Works

Christian’s approach focuses on simple, repeatable movements performed with control and intention – exercises he uses himself on lighter training days. These sessions build strength you can feel in everyday movement and help support long-term mobility and comfort. 

Functional Strength from Foundational Movements

Throughout the series, Christian coaches movements such as reverse lunges, tempo squats, controlled planks, and bear plank reaches. Each exercise is designed to activate major muscle groups while improving balance and joint stability. By slowing certain phases, like the eccentric portion of a squat, he helps you develop strength through better awareness and technique.

Mobility to Support Recovery and Longevity

Christian also includes a full mobility-focused session using movements like heel scoops, fire hydrants, spinal rolls, and glute bridges. These exercises appear repeatedly in his own routine because, as he says, 

“I use mobility every single day. It’s essential for recovery, essential for longevity, and it’s something we can all benefit from.”

This work supports flexibility, joint health, and the ease of moving through daily life.

Breathwork as Part of Training

Christian weaves mindful breathing into each workout. Whether you’re transitioning from a plank or working through a lunge, his cues help you connect your breath to your movement. This simple practice makes each rep feel more intentional and keeps you grounded in the present moment.

Accessible Workouts with No Added Equipment

These sessions use bodyweight-only movements and require only a flat surface and a mat, making them easy to start wherever you are. They’re short enough to fit into busy days and steady enough to help you build momentum over time. No pressure, just movement that meets you where you are.

You’ll find the Christian McCaffrey Bodyweight Strength Series in your iFIT Library, ready whenever you need a supportive way to move. Step into a routine that’s simple, consistent, and built to help you feel your best, one workout at a time.
