Your body is a complex machine. But when parts start going bad, you
can’t just start replacing them and expect your body to perform as if it’s
in peak condition. So instead, focus on making your body unbreakable.
UNBREAKABLE
SHOULDERS
The human body is remarkable. It responds to stress in an effort to
figure out how to deal with it easier in the future. The key to making
yourself unbreakable and helping to fix the pain in your legs, shoulders,
back, ankles and wrists is to provide stress in just the right way to initiate
UNBREAKABLE
changes in your body.
WRISTS
This guide will not only help you make your body unbreakable and
avoid injury, it will also help increase your mobility and flexibility. You’ll
soon find yourself smashing your PRs and you’ll be more confident in
your body.

BACK back
A strong and flexible back is crucial, not just for athletic performance, but
for everyday life. Back pain and stiffness are, unfortunately, a regular part
UNBREAKABLE
ANKLES of too many people’s lives. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Whether you have some back problems now and want to improve or you
want to do your best to keep them at bay, it’s essential to exercise and
keep moving for optimal back health.
UNBREAKABLE
SHOULDERS
The spine is an incredibly complex structure. Some components are
meant more for mobility, and others for stability. Dozens of small muscles
performing various roles run up and down the back to aid in backward,
forward, side bending and rotation.
UNBREAKABLE
WRISTS You could treat them all as one big unit to create a stiff, unyielding back,
but the lack of mobility would quickly catch up to you. These 4 exercises
combine mobility and strength together in a way that stimulates true
functional back mobility.

UNBREAKABLE Ankle strength and mobility are often neglected. And that’s terrible because
ANKLES
these small joints carry the entire weight of your body every day.

Most people don’t spend dedicated time training and strengthening the
ankles. As a result, they may run into issues of stiffness, weakness, and
chronic sprains.
UNBREAKABLE

Here are some of my favorite exercises that will challenge your ankles in new
and unconventional ways to make them strong, flexible, and unbreakable.

These 4 exercises are probably a bit different from what you’ve spent a lot of
UNBREAKABLE time on in the past, but it’s well worth the effort to keep your ankles healthy

and functional. Work on them one at a time to get some reps and practice in,

Whether in training or in other activities, tweaks in your shoulders can stop

and mobility from various angles. These 4 exercises work the shoulders with
different stresses from all directions.

UNBREAKABLE We live in a world where time at the desk and computer is unavoidable. Our

hands and wrists become more used to typing and scrolling than gripping

training such as handstands and crawling, they may experience wrist strains

SHOULDERS Just like all the rest of the areas of our body, we can condition and train our
wrists to tolerate more force and handle the loads encountered in calisthenic

such as repetitive stress injuries.

UNBREAKABLE It’s easy to neglect wrist training in favor of other areas, but spending a bit
