Gym workout #1

Strong for health is all about strength training and health benefits. As I mentioned before (here & here), you don’t need much time in your schedule. This workout literally took me 30 minutes plus few minutes for short warmup and stretch.

If you have a hectic weekly schedule, try to squeeze workout like this two to three times a week and witness the magic happening.
