It is Labor Day in the United States.

The Department of Labor website says:

“Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.”

If you have the day off, you likely have some extra time to get in a workout. The workout below is what we’re doing at FVT this morning…
