This time, we\u2019re flipping the script with a <strong>chain workout<\/strong>. But what exactly are \u201cchains,\u201d you ask?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chains refer to groups of muscles working together along the front or back of your body.<strong> The front chain includes your abs, quads, and chest, while the posterior chain covers your back, glutes, and hamstrings. <\/strong>Most workouts focus on the latter, but <strong>strengthening the front chain is just as important. It improves posture, core stability, and overall performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why we\u2019ve built this <strong>front-chain strength workout<\/strong>. It features <strong>4 exercises<\/strong>, performed in an <strong>AMRAP format<\/strong> (as many rounds as possible). Here\u2019s how it works: you\u2019ll spend <strong>1 minute on each exercise, for a total of 4 minutes<\/strong>. Then, take a <strong>1-minute rest before starting again<\/strong>. Complete <strong>3 rounds<\/strong>, and you\u2019ll wrap it all up in just <strong>15 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cyclist squats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Renegade rows<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kettlebell kneel to stand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dumbbell bicep curls<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ready?
