Get Fit with 6: December challenge

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - For the December challenge we’re going to use resistance tubes for four exercises. We will work your core, shoulders, quads, and biceps.

You can start off light and work your way up to heavy over the course of the month as you get stronger.
