The air was cool and tension was mounting as 11 brave PAX looked on in anticipation as YHC was fumbling around trying to connect his iWatch to the Blue tooth speaker he donned around his neck like a Flavor Flav clock necklace. Yes, it was time to rock out to some 80’s big hair rock tunes and get this party started. The goal was to complete a different set of exercises for each ballad that blared through the 3″ tweeter. Changing over exercises in the seconds between the songs made this an intense, heart pounding, and a laughable ordeal. Bottom line: Have Fun! So here we go.
Warm Up- “Enter Sandman”- Metallica
– Side straddle hops x 25
– windmills x 15
