Making 30°F feel like 100°F

5 Possums made 30°F feel like 100°F as we warmed up all four corners of the tennis court. ~25 reps per corner; a mix of legs, arms/shoulders, core, and random 4th corner workouts to achieve well over 400 reps this morning. Plenty of bear crawls in between.

Well done Abacus the OG Stovepipe Breach Finkle
