Yu-Gi-Oh Workout

Summer is officially here! While you might not realistically get shredded between now and when pool/beach season ends, it's always a good idea to get moving and work on mobility and strength. While I didn't care for Zexal and Arc-V, the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise is a perfect choice for exercising along with one of our exercise games. So turn to the original Duel Monsters anime on Netflix, Hulu, or Tubi to get moving with Yugi and his friends (or maybe Jaden at Duel Academy).
