Designing Our No Hops, No Squats & No Floor Workouts

If you’ve been following our workouts for a little while then you may already be aware of our popular “No Hops, No Squats & No Floor” workouts.

These are some of our most popular workouts and we wanted to dedicate an episode to finding out how Meredith designs these types of exercises and finding out if they can still be effective for you.
