After a quick workout, the PAX took off. The theme of the workout centers around TUT training (Time Under Tension) where all exercises are done with a slow tempo down and quick temp up. 3 count down – 1 count up). This worked out well for the Q who was slowly easing back into things. We made our first stop behind the Convention Center for a little pole work.
