We have some exciting news at the Fort - Trish and Mark are having twins, and they found out that they're having one girl and one boy! Hooray! Congratulations you two!
In other baby news, Leslie had her baby on January 28th. Baby Mya was born at 4:14PM weighing 8lbs 11oz, and was 21 inches long. Congratulations Adam and Leslie! She's BEAUTIFUL!
Strength work yesterday was overhead squats 5-5-5+. Unfortunately, our drywall suffered the consequences of someone not letting go of the bar. Garth definitely wins for making the biggest hole in the Fort history!
The workout yesterday came from Wild Bill's laboratory, and it was GREAT.
2 rounds of
1 minutes of burpees
1 minute rest
1 minute box jumps (24")
1 minute rest
1 minute double unders
1 minute rest
The idea was to get as many reps as possible. I can't even remember the last time I felt THAT BAD after a workout! I sat on the floor for a few minutes just praying not to meet pukie....but it was good.
Everyone did a great job! What I liked the most was that everyone kept working the entire minute; nobody was stopping with 10 seconds left to get some extra rest. THAT'S how we get better at these workouts!
