How Chest + Back + Balance Benefits you
This workout uses a combination of the most important concepts used in the previous P90X2 workouts with an emphasis on your chest and back. Maintaining a healthy and strong back is essential for overall health. A strong chest provides many benefits, as well. Here are just a few of the benefits of a strong chest and back:
- improves posture
- increases strength
- improves breathing
- improves movement
- reduces risk of injury and pain with back issues
- improves overall performance (punch harder, run better, etc.)
