Hurricane Preparation Left You Feeling Sore? Here are 6 Exercises to Get You Stronger than any Storm!

When Hurricane Matthew veered its path towards South FL, many of us found ourselves caught with the urgent task of preparing for the massive storm. This preparation included demanding physical tasks, like lifting heavy and large objects (storm shutters, furniture, boxes, etc.) and climbing ladders. It’s also no surprise that many of us found our necks, shoulders, arms, backs, and legs sore on the days after.
I put together the below exercise routine to help get those muscles stronger and ready for whatever demanding tasks that come your way (hopefully not preparation for hurricanes).
 
Please ALWAYS consult your doctor before starting this or any other exercise program.
 
Level:                             Beginner / Intermediate
