  • Pull Up & Knees to Elbow

    During the workout, Lani fell and hit her noggin. She got up but we all noticed the blood down her neck. So I too her to the ER! She ended up getting 4 staples and probably has a mild concussion. She’s resting comfortably on my couch waiting for her husband — She lost her grip…

  • Let Loose and Go Heavy
