We have a request, dear queerfitters, to help one of our fierce elder leaders move into her new space next Saturday (Feb. 27). Ms. Cheryl Courtney-Evans has been on the front lines of trans* activism since before some of you were born, and continues to give ’em hell at every opportunity. She’s been fighting cancer for the last few months, and can use some muscle with this move. You will, of course, get mad points: 3 big points for your team, and zillions of karma points for your karma pot. Let us know in the comments if you can load in from 11-1 next Saturday. We will carpool from Brownwood Park after queerfit. If you’re not part of QF92, you are OF COURSE more than welcome to come out and help.
Zahra is your coach at Brownwood Park this Saturday. It’ll be near 60 degrees – get there to suck up all that love + good fresh air.
For the remote crew, stretch well and get your mind right before tackling this one:
5 sun salutations, tucking spiderman stretches into the flow there somewhere
Then 5 rounds of:
8 weighted squats, as heavy as possible
20 push-ups
20 V-ups or sit-ups
1/4 mile run
The run is not a sprint, but faster than a lope. If 5 rounds is too much, take a break after 3 and then get back to it.
And drop a note in the comments that yes, you’ve blocked out a few hours on your calendar next Saturday to help Ms. Cheryl move. Y’all good people!

Done – did 50 jumping jacks each round instead of the 1/4 mile and sadly I’ll be traveling next weekend for a funeral so won’t be able to help Ms. Cheryl move. I’m there in spirit though!

I lied – I have a work shift but if any help is required later that afternoon, please let me know.

Done–my substitutes not in the best order, but done.
And count me IN for next Saturday’s moving help.
