Home Office Employee Workout A



If you work from home like I do, are concerned with fitness, have wondered about gymnastics style training in the past, and are looking to develop good functional strength, this routine may be for you. It's a 20 minute workout consisting of scalable gymnastics progressions (no weights), which can be done up to 3 times a week, or just once - depending on how you choose your intensity. You should finish this workout feeling like you've got enough left in the tank to defend yourself from a mugger in a stairwell. That is the key to constant improvement. Be patient!
