Congrats everyone! You all made it through a semester of HOT and through your finals. I hope you guys are all relaxing now and a lot less stressed. But hey, since you all have so much free time now, it would be best to use that time for working out and staying in shape so we are all prepared for another semester of HOT. 

So, I've prepared a class workout log. I urge everyone to fill it out daily/weekly with exercises, form practicing, and stretching that you will all do. Those who have competed in the past semester, your name should be already on the excel. I especially expect each one of you to keep practicing and working out during the break. As a team member, you have the responsibility of making sure you stay in shape so that the competition team does the best it can at tournaments. If you don't try to practice, you'll not only be hurting yourself, but your team members as well. This workout log is meant to provide motivation for you all. You will be able to see what everyone else is also doing so please participate. If your name is not on the excel, please feel free to add it, and start logging in your exercises. The log extends from Dec 20th to Jan 29th. Type what you did (stretched, ran, roundhouse kicked etc.,) and the duration or reps you did. If you can't workout because you're deathly ill, go ahead and log it in so I don't publicly shame you with everyone else. 

Other than that, there will probably be classes during intersession, the same time as usual, but I'll get back to everyone with more info later. 
So happy holidays everyone! Don't get too fat or fatter! And please fill out the workout log.
