We closed with a series of stretches and a COT focused on a gratefulness mindset.  It was so great to have a series of questions to share while we exercised this morning.  As the Q, I should have probably set the tabata timer to beep after each round because I got so carried away in the questions that sometimes I missed the timer.  But other than that it was a joy to exercise and hear each others’ thoughts. Thanks for joining me this morning, ladies!
