The strength focused workout is ideal for an intermediate or advanced exerciser who’s built a solid foundation.  Here’s how it looks: Day 1 A1. Squat – 4 x 8 A2. Pull Up – 4 x 8 B1. Lateral Lunge – 3 x 8/side B2. Dumbbell Split Stance Row – 3 x 10/side C1. Dumbbell Farmer Walk – 3 x 20 yards C2. TRX Tall Kneeling Fall-outs – 3 x 10 You’ll perform all of your “A” exercises, progress to “B”, then “C”. Rather than waste the time resting between sets of squats or deadlifts, we’re going to fill that time with a different exercise.  You can significantly cut down on the time you spend in the gym, while ensuring that you’ve recovered enough between sets. 👉🏼Watch Day 2 exercises video on the next post ‼️ 👉🏼Read more on this week’s blog at www.vitalifit.com 😎 #exercise #strenghtconditioning #programdesign #vitalifit #educate #engage #empower

Complaining gets in the way of accomplishing our goals…don’t do it!
