Once you complete the warm-up, you'll move into the main workout, which has you utilize your own bodyweight and a sandbag (or weighted backpack/duffel bag). You'll complete a series of lower- and upper-body exercises for a minute each, resting as little as possible between movements. Once you finish your last move (burpees), you can rest for a minute or two before starting up again.
Like many of these Spartan at-home workouts, you can use this as a template to build your own routines. Performing a move for one minute is a great way to force yourself to work hard as you're watching the clock, not counting reps. And when you're up against a timer, it usually brings out one's competitive side.
