The purpose of this thread is to capture your daily workouts to share with others over time. It is not meant to be a challenge thread;rather, it will become a valuable resource to others over time to find workouts that will work for them based on many different dimensions of compatibility (gee, sounds like e harmony. Lol).
I hope the thread lives for a long time.
In order for others to gauge what is possible and how it might apply to the, please include the following information:

Rotate immediately to the next station every 1 min, the clock does not stop or reset between stations.
