Moleskin:
1. Eight of Concord’s most elite Pax gathered at ASEC on a humid, 70 degree morning to
endure the World’s Toughest Tabata. The rain held off but it was a good day to stay around
ASEC as a few Pax were nursing injuries, so low impact, full body exercise was just what the
doctor ordered. Constant chatter, corny jokes, and the opportunity to work out with our F3
brothers made for a good day!
2. This workout was a repeat of one done in February and is considered a “Classic” by the Q. A
lot of good chatter today to take the mind off the lack of rest in the tabata. Popeye’s version
of Barishnikoffs was comical and might be added later as a “new” exercise for physically
challenged individuals.
3. Thanks for allowing me to lead today. Always a pleasure.
