Workouts for June 2019 / by Stephen Cooper

I’m going to keep your equipment needs to a minimum for these workouts. Note that more isn’t better, better is better.

You will need dumbbells or kettlebells.

If you don’t have kettlebells and/or dumbbells, you may want to check first on Craigslist as they often have better prices and you won’t pay for shipping.

Workouts will be shorter than our normal boot camp classes, but still effective.
