All-Star Workout
Summer is now in full-swing, and with that comes America’s favorite pastime—baseball’s All-Star game. Whether you’ve been feeling that your summer workout has gotten a little stale or if you are just looking to kick it up another notch, you need to try this All-Star workout.
This total-body workout can be performed with little to no equipment, at either the gym or at home. Start off with a quick 5-minute warm-up to help get your heart pumping and to help to avoid injuries.

Third inning
- 20 ab crunches on a ball (if you don’t have a ball, the floor is OK)
