Schedule Change for Thanksgiving Week- Workout your Drumsticks on the stairs!!

Hello Power Fitness PDX'ers!

I hope you got some extra activity in this busy and game filled weekend.  If you didn't watch the big game and did squats between each cheer, than I hope you ran stairs in a stadium to get into the football game spirit. Sadly, CAL lost poorly, but at least it was a fun game by all.

As many of you know, Makenzie is back at the hospital. She is at UCSF and will either have 2 or 3 procedures next. Tomorrow she has a big day of a CT scan that decides if she has 1 or 2 surgeries following. Thus, I am quickly at the house but will be back at UCSF tonight through Tuesday.  We discussed the possibility of no class on Monday because of the procedures, and it is true, there won't be class on Monday or Wednesday.  The recovery time for one of the surgeries we know is 5-7 days. 

So, without class Monday and Wednesday(I'll learn about Friday by Wednesday, and per your request Friday will be 7-8am if/when it happens), you will be credited for next Session.  I appreciate your understanding, as this has been quite a journey. 

But, that does not mean you are off scott free!!  When in the hospital I have been doing stairs daily, and running the bleachers and stairs at Kezar Stadium.  I think YOU should be too!  I invite you to do the following stair workout as a team on Monday and Wednesday.  The workouts should kick your fanny and you will have a blast!   Remember the keys- check in with each other, shoulders back and down, relaxed knees, hips below shoulders, toes in front of heels.
