• Strength training is the bomb, and hopefully
  youve come to that realization. Its 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
  werent 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 arms only
  connection to the rest of your body.

• Weve determined your shoulders are important,
  but lets 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
  its such high repetitions. Your core has to be
  ready to work 24/7, so lets put it to the test
  today!
• Ready, set, go!
