PITTSBURGH STEELERS LINEBACKER James Harrison is in a league of his own when it comes to working out.
The 38-year-old routinely posts videos to his Instagram that show him doing ridiculously heavy leg presses, squats, and a whole assortment of other exercises we don’t need to get in to right now.
But working out in a gym can often feel soul-crushing and repetitive, especially in the summer months when the sun is out and the weather is nice.

We don’t know the exact weight of the medicine ball being hurled across the net like a volleyball, you can tell by the flight that gravity is getting a considerable helping hand in bringing it back to the sand.
