Team Yellow

Our 4th Biggest Mover started just a few weeks ago at the Y. It's a 12-week program and we are approaching the end of the 3rd week. We have 9 teams (and 9 very different trainers) with 5 people/team.
Introducing:

Team Yellow!

A lively, very diverse group they are! They come ready to work and are always up for a challenge. We've had 5 workouts together so far (each team trains twice/week with their trainer - the rest is on their own) and each one has been a little different.

Some awesome moments so far:

Day 1: Josh finishing his modified push ups that he didn't think he could do. The team was cheering him on, his arms were shaking and the smile on his face when he finished was priceless.

Day 5: Cathy showed up a little late, and while the rest of the group was on their 2nd round of Overhead Ball Slams/Squat w/Ball Throw/Jumping Jacks/Kettlebell Swings, she busted butt and was caught up with them by the time we finished in the gym

Day 5: Katrina finishes her inverted rows and traveling lunges, then goes to the stairs for another round, even though she had finished everything I'd asked of her. That's commitment.

Every Single Day: Chris and Darlene are coming in daily for extra workouts. I know the others are, too - but they are really pushing themselves. Chris even comes in when his wife's team trains to get a little extra. Nothing makes me happier than to witness people "seeing the light" into a healthy lifestyle.

There will certainly be more to come on Team Yellow. Our Week 3 weigh-in is tomorrow, so here's to hoping they eat well and stay hydrated! :)
