Nothing says cardio like … running on a treadmill. Today, Jaynie, the Crab and the Bear had that singular pleasure, along with the pleasures associated with hearts pounding, sweating up a storm, doing an interesting mix of core, cardio and strength … I think Chris has an overarching plan to do us in ( Read more... )

Today, the Bear was challenged. Chris was in a happy mood, despite having injured himself slightly playing basketball (note to self: don’t play basketball to reinjure your shoulder).
