Beyond Healing with Joint Strength Training

Beyond Healing with Joint Strength Training, another course from GM Ali. Imagine this: You're nearing the end of an obstacle course. Every muscle in your body is screaming for relief, and your energy reserves are almost gone.

Just when you think the end is in sight, an eight-foot wall looms ahead. You grit your teeth and pull your tired body up, inch by inch, until you finally reach the top. Then comes the leap.

What happens next-whether you land gracefully and finish the race strong or collapse in pain-depends almost entirely on the strength and health of your joints.
