Class Cancelled Today - Time for the at-home workout!

Due to the declining weather and possible delayed opening of the pool, there will be no TRX this morning. That doesn't mean you can't burn a few calories at home!

Since we are working on power this week, try the at-home power workout. No weights or TRXs required. Crank up your favorite tunes and pull your kids into it and see what they think :)
