I Tried The Workout LeBron James Swears By For A Week And This Is What Happened

A total body workout in 30 minutes.

I'm also a huge fan of LeBron James, not just because he's incredible on the basketball court, but because he strives for greatness off of it, and is seemingly always in the gym.

Sometimes LeBron actually takes classes there as part of his training, and it's not just him...
