It\u2019s also a great way to improve the muscle tone in your lower body. Channing said, \u201cI want to be the best athlete I can possibly be. When I look at the NFL or the NBA, those guys are how I want to look. Usable, functional muscles. I don\u2019t workout just because I want my chest bigger, or because I want to get huge arms\u201d (pop workouts).<\/i><\/p>\n
