Training for week-ending 2/24/13

Monday – TRX boot camp.  The regular instructor was not around, so the substitute provided a different touch to TRX boot camp.  Shauna, the sub instructor, had 6 different stations: (1) TRX suspension, where we do squats and arm pulls (I don’t know the terminology), (2) Lunges with lifts, (3) holding a plank and rocking
