The Demolition Workout
Today in a world full of soft I just simply felt like introducing some rugged. I got the idea for the theme of this workout from the bad 90’s action flick Demolition Man. Why? Well if you’re unaware in the movie a tough cop and his rival nemesis are frozen in time only to be later awakened well into the future where inappropriate language, rugged behavior, and just about every other everyday freedom is considered illegal or politically incorrect.
Funny because it sounds a lot like reality…but I digress. Anyways the rugged nature of the two men’s rivalry proves to be a tough adjustment for the softies that reside in this newly introduced future world. Check out this rugged workout if you want to dial up the tough!
