Do triceps dips for arms; squats, lunges, and calf raises for legs and butt; flutter kicks and crunches for abs; and burpees, wall squats, planks, and innovative push-up variations for a full-body workout.

I was fighting against “irreversible” back pain due to arthritis. However, it was not actually the arthritis or disc causing the pain, there were other imbalances around it causing the pain where. Hence, I changed the work-out strategy, developed the core strength, started eating clean anti-inflamatory diet, also started doing corrective circuits, and more.
