It's no secret that the Today star is committed to staying in shape, and he lets fans hold him accountable by sharing routine updates from his daily walks and intense workouts.

The weatherman took to Instagram yet again to share another workout video, this time his most candid and conclusive yet, as he showed fans his entire workout routine with his seriously skilled trainer.

The exercise regime was undoubtedly grueling, featuring a variety of different high intensity reps like mountain climbers, and using resistance bands and weighted ropes.

Al comfortably works out from his own at home gym in the basement of his New York City home, and though his trusty trainer expertly guides and supports him through the routine, the morning show host revealed that he better watch his back.

The intense workout

He captioned the video montage of his workout with: "After my morning walk, I had a #workout with my #cyborgtrainer Don Scott. I want to get in good enough shape to one day kill him and walk away. Don't tell him."

Al is getting closer and closer to achieving his fitness goals, having recently announced he officially marked the 127th day in a row of walking 10,000 daily steps.
