We’re big fans of the main compound exercises and resistance training here at xtraOrdinary Athletes. And it’s not because we have some type of strange love for them and think they’re just our favourite things to do (well…maybe Kat and Al feel this way…but the rest of us don’t!). It’s because these types of exercises are just so important, so effective, and so efficient, making them a great option for busy xOA-ers who are trying to find time to fit fitness into their lives.
But, for those of us who maybe don’t take as great a joy in squats as say Irada, there’s a problem that can pop up. And that is – these types of exercises can get BORING!
