Those of us in the 7 p.m. spin class were wondering where everyone was - glad to hear you all were there at 5 p.m.! Keri taught a great class!
If any of you like step aerobics, Becky teaches a great class on Saturday at 9:30. Maybe I'll see some of you there?
Have a great weekend everyone!

Great Job!
Nice to see such a great turn out at spinning. Julie gave us a good workout at 5 and I am sure Keri's 7pm class was tough as well. Are you sore today? If not, check out Keri's class next week and give that tension knob another turn! Next challenge be sure to wear your Red Team T-shirt. Let's show the other teams that we are a force to be reckoned with !!
This weekend looks beautiful get outside and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air.

Are you drinking water?
Great Nutrition lecture last night. A lot of good tips. It was good to see so many of us in the room. I keep trying to remember to drink more water!
Hope you all have a nice weekend and gear up for the spinning challenge next week!
