Don’t get me wrong a properly applied periodization plan is an effective plan for building a strong athletic body ready for most any physical task.

Well if there’s one character that’ll build some momentum once they get going it’s the Juggernaut! So this is exactly why I’ve chosen to title this workout for the same reason.

That’s right this one is all about a jump rope, some kettlebells, and your own body resistance.
