Well..yeah..I did workout Sun-Thurs while on vacation. Have DB’s, KB’s, WB, jump rope, abmat…they all travel really beautifully! I couldn’t go that long without doing something….just couldn’t post because I couldn’t get the website to work on my phone…just keeps reloading. And it’s a bit much to go back and post now.
