And perfect for seven minute abs — Mary!!  If you’re not happy with first seven minutes, we’re gonna send you the extra minute free!! Or is it six minute abs??

COT: Way to push through the sets.  Each set represents a challenge that we face in life.  Gotta push through them as they come.  Embrace them, and view them as gifts.  We don’t improve if we don’t have challenges in our lives.  All that we experience every day provides opportunity for us to improve.  Embrace the suck.  It will make you a better man!

Aye!
