For the third day in a row, YHC was at the helm. EC was skipped due to some fatigue. Rolled up with 4 mins to spare for some mumble chatter. Nine pax were ready to do some work. I wanted to relive some old school workouts at PT so that’s what we did. Everyone survived but not without some moaning and groaning. Heck I think I ever moaned some from my stupid ideas.

Today’s workout idea was simple, do 42 different exercises over the course of the workout. The hard parts were twofold. First, finding 42 different exercises was daunting. I consulted the ol’ exicon for some help filling the list. I was also concerned that we wouldn’t have enough time or, the opposite of that, it wouldn’t take enough time. We ended up coming in under the 45 minute mark which actually worked out because it ended up taking 42 minutes, which LED pointed out. I was happy with that.
