Strength training is the bomb, and hopefully you’ve come to that realization. It’s truly a game changer. Anyway, moving on now. Did you know that your shoulders are structurally the least stable joint in your whole body? If it weren’t for your lovely ligaments, tendons, and muscles, there would be very little (if anything) keeping your shoulder in place. So what does that mean? Well, it means you need to strengthen that joint. You need to strengthen your arm’s only connection to the rest of your body.
We’ve determined your shoulders are important, but let’s not overlook your core. Your core is used in everything you do whether you realize it or not. While this is a strength training workout, the core training section is focused specifically on muscular endurance, which is why it’s such high repetitions. Your core has to be ready to work 24/7, so let’s put it to the test today! Ready, set, go!
