Pick a Program You Love

joint, shoulder, exercise equipment, leg, arm, There are so many workouts, there's no reason to try to stick to a program you just don't love. For example, if you try running and you hate it, don't try to force yourself to run. Instead, try something else, maybe battle ropes or yoga, until you find something you love.

And then Keep It Fresh!

Your Squad

Your Own Goals!

The Gear
