Need a Killer Back and Chest Workout?
Having a strong back and chest is paramount as we go through our daily lives. From being functionally strong to helping you burn more calories via these large muscle groups, this at-home back and chest workout might be perfect for you!
At-Home Back and Chest Workout:
Each of our videos is designed for fifteen minutes of vigorous exercise. Some of you will get through the routine in fifteen minutes and others may not. Not to worry, you’ll get there.
The goal is to have proper form rather than to hurry through our routines and not do them properly.
So Turn It On and Look Fab!
