Rocky Mountain High them seemed fitting for whichever Q came up with this workout
-
When we made it to the track Pax were advised that we worked out “over hare” first and then “over thare” next and back again
-
Almost ditched a tardy Arizona but alas, we could not shake the tail
-
We will try the reverse dolphin dry humpers next time
-
By the way, WTF is a shoulder pulse?
-
Covered this ground previously, but some spouses have provided a definitive ruling that dry humping does not constitute cheating
-
Q constructive feedback includes bringing yoga mats next time. Boat pose is not so easy on one’s coccyx
-
It’s not Q’s fault, it’s asphalt (not sure I captured that one correctly, but we will definitely be hearing that one again)
-
Do you get uncomfortable when you look at an unkempt bush?
-
There just may be a yoga themed workout in the future. Currently in the market for the largest unitard I can find
-
“Rocky Mountain High, Colorado”
-
Though flamboyant, squats with flair and around the world lunges are effective
-
That was one beautiful morning
-
It was an honor and a privilege. And fun
