Hey look it's Friday! This week went by so fast! July is more then half over, how can it be! I never told you guys how the new release at Group Power went, so I'll tell you now. I think I have mixed feelings about this release. We do use out body weight plus plates for a lot of the moves which is a nice changed but the tracks seem so short. They aren't since the class is still 1 hour but the tracks fly by! That might be a good thing but I don't know. I can say I don't like the shoulder track. I feel like it is more of a upper back track, but maybe it is just because we do completely new moves, working different parts of the back of the shoulder. I think I have to see how it goes again next week. O but the ab track is nice. We do tons of leg raises lying on the step, but when we do V-ups I'm scared I will fall off my step...my spine makes me roll more than others...haha! Anyway, here is the Friday Finisher, Enjoy!

that carrot cake, omg i die. what are you reading?? also, way to go on being thankful to your access to water during this heat wave. people keep complaining about it but i mean, they can just go into ac or pick up a bottle of water. plenty of people in extreme heat literally cannot escape it.
i just did the new group power last weekend! i like the ab track! i like the bicep song but i have not met a single other person who does haha.

Exactly, I don’t want to take my situation for granted since so many are so much worse off! Biceps was Okay, but it is always my weakest track so I never actually LOVE it haha! I do always look forward to learning the new ab tacks since sometimes they are super easy and other times I actually feel like its beneficial! I remember a many releases ago they had an ab tack where we used plates, I loved that one! O and right now I am about to finish The Orphan Sister by: Gwendolen Gross (it is actual a really fast and good read, not something I usually pick up, I am more into crime/FBI/Government/thrillers haha).
