No time to exercise during the week? No problem. All you need is 40 minutes per weekend to build a strong and skinny body.
Few concepts capture the imagination of the American man as much as the Warrior Weekend: released from Workaday's life chains, he uses Saturday and Sunday to catch up with his family, soothe the soul and migration of One week of exercise missed in only two days. In fact, however, less than 3% of us live in this ideal, according to researchers in disease control and prevention centers.
