Hi Strands fans. Nothing too tricky today - the theme of "A good workout" can surely only refer to kinds of exercise. And, perhaps because I'm writing this shorly after a gym trip, it didn't take me too long to track down my first answer on the grid: ELLIPTICAL.
That revealed WEIGHTS directly below it, which in turn exposed the spangram underneath spelled from right to left: FITNESS.
There were four words to find in the bottom half, and they didn't take too long to uncover. ROWER was first, tucked under the last couple of letters of the spangram, and BIKE was then visible right at the bottom.
That left TREADMILL spreading across the puzzle from right to left, and finally CABLE in the bottom right-hand corner.
Nothing too taxing, but a fun puzzle all the same.
