Welcome to Day 2 of Total Gym Summer Camp!
Today’s adventure leads straight to your center—your core powerhouse!
We’re talking more than just abs. Your core is your control center for posture, balance, and total-body functional strength. Let’s wake it up, challenge it, and train it to support every move with power and precision.
🌟 Jumping in mid-week? No problem! Head to the Total Gym Summer Camp Brochure to catch the whole lineup and start your journey from the top. Total Gym Summer Camp – Total Gym Pulse
🏕️ Core Quest Theme: Tighten Up Tuesday
Today is all about activating your deep core muscles and building strength from the inside out. You’ll focus on controlled movements, intentional breathing, and core engagement that powers each rep with strength and intention.
