Red Hood Calisthenics Workout: Real Life Jason Todd Workout
In this segment of the Superhero Training series, we are bringing to you the comprehensive 3 day calisthenics workout inspired by the Red Hood!
Red Hood is actually one of the characters that put our brand on the map back when we were just a youtube channel.
And one thing I have always preached about with these street level heroes is the importance of having some degree of bodyweight control, especially if you aspire to be like a character straight from the Bat Family.
This workout is aimed to make you strong, explosive, and athletic just like Jason Todd.
And since we already went over the full breakdown, we are going straight to the workout here!
In case any of you missed it, y’all can check it out here.
