He added that the moves could be done anywhere, and invited a few people to try things out while in studio.
There were mats set up on the floor for everyone to try out his suggestions.
John, 46, stressed that there was “no excuse” to not be able to perform the exercises as they could be done anywhere.
He led everyone through a quick exercise segment.
Al sat off to the side, watching everyone for most of the presentation.
That is, until Al, 69, suddenly became a part of the workout.
“When you get to the advanced stage, all you do is add weight,” John explained to his participants.
Al had moved beside John while spectating at this point.

“Like Al Roker,” John added as he shocked everyone by picking Al up and throwing him over his shoulder.
He walked a few steps forward, straightened himself out, and started doing squats with Al on his back.
“So it would be like this,” he said.
“It’s very easy and you don’t have to get to a gym! I’m not trying to sell you anything, I just want to help you get a better body!”
Al couldn’t help but joke while on John’s shoulders.
“He’s working with dumbbells!” he shouted.
DOING AL-RIGHT
Al made a recent appearance on his daughter Leila Roker’s podcast called Cross Culture.
Leila, 25, kicked off her first Instagram live podcast with Al, who quickly cracked a joke about his age.
“Not bad for an old guy! So we’re able to do this,” he said, referring to the live video tech.
“And quickly! So that’s impressive,” his daughter replied.
Al introduced the podcast hosts, explaining he and Leila were joined by her best friend Lauren, who she met studying abroad in Paris 6 years ago.
The lighthearted intro showcased Al’s wit as he self-deprecatingly marveled at mastering the Instagram live platform “for an old guy.”
Leila laughed at her dad’s comments before getting on with her interview.
The journalist asked her father a wide variety of questions during the show.
