Do you hate cardio like a sane person?

If you perform cardio with any type of effort to elevate your heart rate and sustain it like how activity that constitutes cardio should be performed, then one of the reasons you hate cardio is because it’s hard.

Hmmmm…so what other reason could there be for your hatred then?!⁣

How To: Dumbbell Overhead Tricep Extensions

How To: Dumbbell Overhead Tricep Extensions

How To: Dumbbell Overhead Extensions written in text with image of a woman performing dumbbell overhead tricep extensions.

If you haven’t guessed by now, dumbbell overhead extensions are one such exercise that places the arms in the optimal position for long head growth.
