“Grassroots” Strength Series

Every Saturday from now until classes resume, we will be running an equipment swap at 9 am at PB, Bay Park, and OB. It is a great time to exchange your weight for something heavier if you want to incorporate the following select strength workouts into your routine. Perhaps the PSC doesn’t look appealing to you on a particular day and you want to “plug and play” a strength workout, or perhaps you want to hit a few weeks of dedicated strength work two to three times per week.

You now have that option.

The following are intended to be performed with a very heavy dumbbell or kettlebell.
