This means you can increase your workouts intensity, while decreasing your chance of injury.

Constructing a turf workout is easy, any exercise is fair game. 

However, the smooth surface also makes the turf a perfect place to complete some serious workout moves like Sled Pulls and Rows.  

So stop letting the athletes have all the fun and unleash all the benefits for yourself.  Head to Elite Sport & Fitness today to #turfitup with this 400-Rep Total Body Workout to get you started.
