Around the Body

The Around the Body exercise is a great exercise to add in as a mobility drill before a tough workout to loosen up the entire upper body or to throw into a light recovery workout. It is also a great way to build grip strength when used with a challenging weight. Your core will have a nice workout or warmup depending on the weight and time that you use this exercise, but no matter how you use it you will receive great benefits.
