We're almost there! Seven weeks done!

We have finished seven weeks of the summer program. The exercises are listed below for Week Eight by day, or you can download a PDF of the week's workouts.


Please remember to record your workouts and send them to Erik next week. If you can submit your records every two weeks, that makes things easier to share our participation records with Bev.
