Surf N Turf and Yard Sale arrived at 5:30. Surf N Turf took care of the warmup. Yard Sale set the tabata timer and we switched exercises – Started with lower body – 20 seconds exercise, 10 seconds rest – 8 sets followed by 20 seconds rest. Followed up with core exercise and then upper body. Same pattern of 20 seconds – 10 seconds – 8 set followed by 20 seconds rest. We continued switching until we ran out of time and headed back to the parking lot. Numberama, Namarama followed by a prayer from Surf N Turf. SYITG!

COT: Time to get our butts back in gear and attack the new year. New Year New You.
