Desk Core Workout
- Strengthen deep core muscles by sitting at a desk, placing one elbow down, and lifting the opposite leg.
- Hold for 30 seconds, switch sides, and repeat; this simple exercise can be done anywhere.
Angio Sets
- Improve circulation and build muscle with "angio sets": high-rep sets with light weights followed by low-rep sets with heavy weights.
- Repeat this process for four to six rounds to stimulate blood vessel growth.
Connective Tissue Training
- Improve connective tissue health by standing with a heavy loaded barbell for one to three minutes.
- Follow this with a dead hang to promote fluid circulation and nutrient delivery, potentially healing old injuries.
