ADD-ON Workout

When in Portland, I visited one of my best friend's and old business partner, Danielle Paskins.  I was fortunate to be a student in her incredible boot camp. She is a phenomenal instructor, and working out with her is inspiring and engaging. Honestly, it was fun to be a student in her class, instead of being the instructor...whenever does that happen. Our workout for the morning was an Add-ON Workout.  We've done these before in PFPDX, but the workout inspired me to create quite a few more.  Thanks Danielle!
