The 15-Minute Beach Muscle (Plus Hustle) Workout

There's nothing wrong with wanting to bring out your beach muscles. As an athlete, your training shouldn't necessarily focus on your beach muscles, but it's OK to get a pump in—as long as you don't neglect your hustle. (And, as long as you follow the guidelines for building muscle for athletes.)

In other words, it's great to pump up your chest, shoulders, triceps and biceps, but it's even better to do it in a way that'll help you build a strong and powerful upper and lower body that won't quit. This way you get the muscle and the hustle.

Here's a 15-minute workout you can use to build your muscle (to look pumped) and your hustle (to help your power endurance.)

Note: This workout is not designed to replace a comprehensive weight-training session.
