The gym is all decked up with Christmas decor! Coach mixed the routine up this week again so my body won’t quickly adapt to the same workouts. It was fun learning new things though it takes a little getting used to. Still, I kept my head in the game and just stuck with it. Discipline [...]

“What you desire on the deepest level, tells you of who you really are” Sr. Bubbles Bandojo, RC We are all made up of different parts and pieces.
