  • Pull Up Extravaganza

    A great special learning session at Plumbline Today. We started off with a 2 min jump rope warm up and did some general stretching, push-ups and then did saucers with a twist –we held a dowel over our head and went from lying down to sitting up with the dowel –picture a trapeze artist but…

  • Workout to start your week

    Plumbline boot camp was the same routine we did last Thursday — and it was hard, challenging and I did not finish. I managed to complete half of Round 6 when time was called and it was already past camp time – so I stopped there. I still burned more calories than I have in…
