About

Tons

Features
Read full description

The Eiffel Tower weighs 10,100 tons. How long would it take you to lift it? A few push-ups here, a set there. On their own they're nothing, but together they're tons. It's not about hours at the gym, it's about how much you actually lift. That's exercise snacking: train when you get a minute, and the tons add up.
