Today we're building upper body strength while learning why strength training matters. Don't skip the reading it gives context to the work you're doing and helps you train with purpose, not just repetition.

I'm also including an optional cardio resource. If you're looking to add a little extra movement today, or you'd like to save it for another day, it's a great option.

The internet is full of workouts, but not all content is created with the same purpose or quality. Learning to recognize valuable, effective resources is part of becoming a more informed Fitness Realist.

If you're tired of feeling like a hamster on a wheel with cardio, it's too hot to exercise outside, or you simply don't enjoy traditional cardio, this workout is a fun and effective alternative.

Train smarter. Build strength. Keep becoming the strongest version of yourself.
