Warm up

  • Do around 5 minutes on the stair machine of your gym at a speed that you feel in your legs without using too much of your strength, it’s a warm up!

  • Stretch all your leg muscles before doing any set, as well as your knees and hips to prevent painful injuries…

Daily Self Growth Tip:

Learn to Let Go:

Learn to let go of things that no longer serve you. Some things are meant to end, you just gotta accept that reality. It might be friends, it might be ideas, concepts or feelings, sometimes, you just gotta let go of it. At first, it might hurt you to do so, but on the long run, you’ll thank yourself for doing so.

Workout song of the day: Sky by Playboi Carti

Carti is just sooooo good in the gym. His beat and the adlibs give such strength and anger, that PR will look like a warm-up set. Trust, blast this song today and you’ll feel stronger than ever.
