Instead of a motivational quote how about a motivational story? Last night Barb Gasser (who at 53 years old is down 25 lbs in less than 8 weeks) literally kicked the crap out of the HIIT boot camp last night. After each exercise her heart rate was over 90% and as high as 98% and she DID NOT STOP. She went the full 9 rounds and inspired everyone. Amazing job Barb!!!
