Happy 4th of July!

We had so much fun this morning with our America themed workout!  The plan was if they sang along on Coming to America (they just had to yell out the “todays”) the class would be easier.  They did NOT play along, and kept looking at my guiltily.  So I told them they had 10s today.  So the class was 3 big hills.  The last song, they had to sing along on the chorus.  If they did, they got to choose what we did until the next chorus.  If not, I got to choose.  They all started singing and laughing.  Post class they said they loved the music and the class.  One lady I didn’t recognize came up and asked “you’re the teacher who did the Ironman workout, aren’t you?”  when I smiled and said yes she said how amazing my classes are.  I have certainly set the bar too high with those 2 being the only classes she’s been to!
