Monday’s are always my favorite. A fresh week to keep plugging away at goals and an opportunity to set new ones. These past 5 days in Phoenix have been amazing between the weather and the adventures.

You need this leg burning exercise in your life
Yes, I love lunges, squats, deadlifts, kettlebell swings, basically anything that hits the lower body and helps promote the glutes.

This is an offset reverse lunge that transitions into a squat position. It…
