Devo: Ronald Reagan, speaking after the disaster: ” Your loved ones were daring and brave, and they had that special grace, that special spirit that says, ‘Give me a challenge, and I’ll meet it with joy’.” I think we’d all be better if we faced challenges with joy instead of sadness and fear. 

Moleskin:  This workout was in tribute to those brave men and women who perished during the Challenger shuttle explosion on this date 33 years ago in 1986.  T-claps to all PAX for their patience while we tried many “new” and exciting (maybe) exercises! FYI, Lowcountry Crab should have been done from a crab position and Rock-a-bye babies from a chair position! My apologies!
