There is a workout for this, too. ”Hope” has the same format as Fight Gone Bad. In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of “rotate,” the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep.

5) This Saturday Katelyn and I will be having people over to grill out, swim in the pool, soak up some sun and have some drinks. We recently amassed a TON of red and white wine and quite a bit of beer plus Casey inherited a bunch of other alcohol, so we figured instead of having it sit around the house, we’d like to share with the members of CFF. All of you are invited. More details forthcoming.
