- Heat & Sweat - Cardio dehydrates you. Bring water!

📌 MOD INFO

⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE — MOD ID RENAMED
The Treadmill & Benchpress mod's ID changed from FWOBenchPress&Treadmill to FWOBenchPressTreadmill (the old ID's unescaped "&" broke Linux dedicated servers). If you have this mod listed in a dedicated server's mod config or a save's mod list, you must update the old ID to the new one after updating — otherwise the mod will no longer load for that server/save.
💪 Happy Workouts!
