CHOP WOOD CARRY WATER combines functional strength training and primal movement. The 20 different workouts focus on strength training, metabolic conditioning, primal movement and recovery. I’m a huge fan of the program’s creator, Amoila Cesar, after completing his 645 fitness program and can’t wait to start this latest program. Get all the details in this CHOP WOOD CARRY WATER fitness program review.
