Easy to Advanced Travel or Office Workout

Please be sure to check with your doctor to make sure these exercises are appropriate for you. I'm not there to monitor you and I don't know your medical history. Workout smart. Be sure to also do a warm up, cool down and stretch as part of a safe workout. Never do any exercise that causes sharp pain.

This is a nice basic travel or office workout. Here are some of the basic details.
