Sherry Thruster Kristy Good Morning

Quotes of the day: 

  1. After being asked if you can choose which couplet to do, I said “No you all get to do both Sherry and Kristy today”. Doh!
  2. Jorge: “What happened to women lying about their ages!”
  3. Steph: “Thanks, that was BRUTAL… okay, seeya tomorrow!”

So I took my own advice yesterday and took a rest day. Minus my burpees. It was a wise move. I feel ready to go tomorrow. Strange how that works huh? I am also kind of surprised at how many are out of the Burpee Challenge. For those still in it you have two days to go. Day 48 means you owe 48 of them. 

Before I forget, Rob sent us an idea for new equipment. We are so excited to add these to the gym we are probably going to get rid of the barbells. This is strength training equipment; the flab busting breakthrough called ShakeWeight. Who needs anything else?  I am already programming new WOD’s such as “ShakeWeight Gone Bad”, “Shake it Tabata Style”, and “Shake, Shake Your Booty.”
