Monster Factory Fun












Well, I would have posted this yesterday, but I couldn't move my arms. Maybe shoveling the driveway before heading out wasn't the best idea. Friday night we had 4" of snow. I went outside at 8:45am to start shoveling. I finished at 9:45am. I went back inside to check my messages and already had one, "Roads are bad, catch you next Saturday." I quickly changed and headed over to the Monster Factory. Out of our nine invitees, we had five show up. Today I'm rethinking if I should have ventured out. It only took us about 15 minutes to get everything set up and started. With Cyndi Lauper blasting on the radio, we began our circuits. Our first round consisted of 60 seconds exercise, the second round 55 seconds, and the last round was 50 seconds. To clarify, that 60-55-50 is per station (14 stations per circuit). I was feeling pretty good until I made into the TRX Atomic Push-up on the parallettes. Talk about a smoker! I hope you enjoy the pictures. For those that were snowed in, here's what you missed.
