Well, I nearly passed out and promised I would never do it again, but today I was conquering my fear and created my own version of “high-intensity” at Danger Zone with the 8 men who joined me this morning.

BB YHC promised that Phoenix this morning would be a “zoo.” So, we went exclusively with exercises named after animals.

When: 07/24/2017 QIC: Pet Sounds PAX - 20 total The Brickyard.
