Fitness By-Products

Written on July 15, 2024 - 7:25 am | by Terra

When I hear the term By-Product, the first thing that comes to my mind is pet food. You’re probably familiar with the term “meat by-product” that is commonly found in the most popular brands of cat and dog foods. But what about the too often overlooked by-products of exercise?

Wall Balls is a silly name for an exercise, I know, but that’s what you get when you borrow exercises from Crossfit. In fact, Wall Balls are a great conditioning exercise that builds full body stamina and endurance. It will also make you sweat.
