7. WEEKDAY WORK-OUTS
- Tuesday nights in the South Bay. Results of these work-outs show in our practice sets and tournaments. Studies show improved cardiovascular health and better muscle endurance for weekday work-out participants.*
- You've heard about it. You've contemplated joining it. The list of participants grows every week and with every passing week, the legends grow: jello legs and folks pushing back their "wall".
- Is it as bad (or good) as they say? Only one way to find out! Get out there!
- If you're not on the email list, email us and we'll make sure you get the weekly location notifications. Location varies within the South Bay week-to-week.
*these studies were performed at the Space Dragons Imaginary Institute of Health and Fitness. But seriously, is there any shadow of a doubt that these work-outs are super-great for everyone and just plain awesome?
-- Your Captains
