THE THANG:
We did a warm up run, followed by some other stretches. The workout was a HIIT workout with the playlist of one hit wonder songs from the 80’s. So 80 was the number in each round of exercises. Each round was anchored with a cardio exercise where we did 80 jacks, for example. Then the 5 interval exercises in each round were 16 each for a total of 80. We closed the round with another cardio of 80 jacks and then immediately started into the second round of 80 cardio, 80 intervals and 80 cardio, etc. We took a break only after we finished the first three rounds to keep up the high intensity. We then moved onto the second round with the same sequence of exercises but the intervals exercises were changed up. EVERYONE was on Q today as each PAX member took turns counting.

We had a little time so we took another run up to the stop sign where we did more high intensity cardio as a group, then ran to the other stop sign and back to the mat where we finished with birthday burpees in honor of Dig.

We talked about the symbolism of butterflies. Maya Angelou: We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
The butterfly symbolism works as a representation for resurrection, change, renewal, hope, endurance and courage to embrace the transformation to make life better. The butterfly is proof that beauty can emerge from something completely falling apart. Jane Lee Logan
