1️⃣ Strength Focus – “Make Life Easier”

This track is about getting stronger so everyday stuff stops feeling hard.

Who this is for:

  • You feel weak getting out of chairs

  • Your posture collapses during long streams

  • Carrying groceries feels like a mini boss fight

What we train:

  • Core stability

  • Legs, back, and shoulders

  • Controlled reps with plenty of rest

Why it matters:
More strength = better posture, less fatigue, and joints that don’t hate you after sitting all day.
