I remember Coach Faust... He is a good man who was in the right place at the wrong time in his career...

I agree with you GB FB ump: The YMCA has great classes and programs...

I'm an Umpire like you... And I found that the YMCA works for me because of the concept of cross-training...

I can do a spin class on Monday that works the heart, quads, hams, and glutes... Tone and stretch on Tuesday and Friday (the teachers are constantly tweaking their routines so our bodies never get used to the same movements:i.e. I never realized there were so many ways of doing lunges and squats, alone, with a medicine ball or with light weights and bands)... Step class on Wed and Thur are my favorites... I believe that step is the best overall cardio, toning, and footwork exercise there is...

There used to be a Thur sports conditioning class with the infamous suicides... I feel your pain!!!

You are so fortunate to be able to spend two hours almost every day... I find that the one hour classes are so efficient for me: you get a lot done in that one hour.
