DONE!

It took me about 25 minutes to do this whole routine through.  It reminded me of my step aerobics days circa 1994.  It was a fun change up, although it's over so fast that I don't feel like I've done much.  Although, I did get quite out of breath and slightly sweaty and my butt was sore by the end of the jump lunges, so that's good!

We were also required today to post our weight and measurements.  Here are my stats:

Weight 134.4

Chest 35"

True waist 30"

Waist at belly button 33"

Hips 27.5

Thigh at biggest point 20"

Exactly mid-thigh 18.5"

Arm 10.5"

That was no trail run, but it was fun to switch it up!

Lunch.  This was really good!  

There was no body rolling today, but plenty of high kicks!  POW!
