Depressed, Tired? Try This 6 Day Split Workout

You could really call this workout many names. “Quarantine Workout”, “Low Effort Workout”, or even “No Time For an Hour-Long Workout”. It came into existence after a few weeks of me attempting to do my normal strength training workout and feeling like I didn’t have the time or energy to complete a normal workout.
