Kettlebell Workouts
“April is such a great time…to build the swollest back you can imagine! Yes, this month we will be working on back strength and pull-ups. Developing the posterior chain is essential for the body to function. If this breaks down the entire body falls apart. So strengthening the back is a priority!
