Today's workout is a short but sweet strength workout, focused on the legs and lats. There are only three movements, and they're relatively simple. You'll need a medium to heavy weight kettlebell and a pull up bar (or a suspension trainer).

The Aspect of Health No One Talks About

While I’m generally a happy person, I have experienced times of sadness, doubt, fear, and purposelessness. In fact, I regularly have periods of time where I feel anxious and/or low. I find it hard to share my negative emotions with others when I’m in that place. I know that other people go through similarly challenging periods.

I Used to Think Health Was A Look

If a person didn't have a visible six pack, it meant they needed to work out harder and restrict calories. "Being healthy is easy," I thought, "all you need is the willpower to cut carbs to stay in caloric deficit, and work out every day." It worked for me. Or I thought it did. Mind you, I was also 20 years old. ;)
