"but we just did Helen!"
Check your books guys...the last time we did Helen was 9/11....almost a full month ago. We gotta repeat these workouts so we can tell if they're working.
I'm not sure if you guys noticed, but the weather yesterday was pretty crappy. Some of our earlier classes had sunny skies, but the later evening classes had to suffer through 45mph winds and rain. Due to the weather, some of our classes did Helen in a boat, and others did it with running. It was JUST MY LUCK that Bill decided the 7PMers looked tough enough to run in the rain. The only problem with running in the rain is that it doesn't only hurt all areas of exposed skin....it hurts my soul.
The 6PM ladies class is now officially changing it's name to the 6PM PR Party! You ladies all did amazing! Beth set a new PR by 3:00! Holy Moly is that awesome! Our girl Staci is riiiight there with her pull-ups, and did Helen at the RX'd kettle bell weight, and only used the purple band. Ladies, I'm not sure if you know this, but Boyd is going to give ONE DOLLAR to the next lady to get an unassisted pull-up! THAT'S RIGHT! ONE DOLLAR! Who's going to be the lucky lady to win Boyd's dollar??
ANNOUNCEMENT: There will be a substitute coach at the ladies class tomorrow. I will be out of town visiting a customer in Houston, so Bill is going to do the honors of coaching the 6PM ladies class. Feel free to force him to say "nipples" and "heeeeey" when he's coaching. After all, it's only fair that we keep things consistent for you ladies.

If he'll allow me to join him, I too will join Boyd and give up 1 dollar to the next lady for a fully performed unassisted pull-up. I say we capture these moments on video.
Since it's Boyd's deal, I don't want to rein on his parade. So, I'll turn to him and ask "Boyd, will you allow me to join your sweet 'shark-like' deal?"

Way to go Audra! She was swinging the kettlebell so hard and fast that she's just a blur in the picture

At first glance, it looked like I was bent over, attempting to breathe:)

Just wanted to say that I enjoyed my personal training session with Bill during the 5:00 class.
There is nothing like doing a workout where Bill is by your side the whole time pushing you to work harder! It paid off though because my time was better and I was on the blue band and not the green. Thanks Bill!!
