Special Ops is not a workout that is suitable for beginners or anyone who's returning to fitness after a long lay-off. But it is the perfect total body strength and endurance workout to help you find your limits, push past the barriers that have been holding you back, level up your fitness and discover just how strong your mind is when your body tells you it wants to quit. If you add EC here then you're already in that select group who stand out.
