I got this idea from Crossfit: the log squat. Good for building muscles where you need them, your back and your butt. A trainer at UMM told Jake and me that if you do squats you'll never be in a wheelchair. Sounds good. We saved this exercise for last since you do tend to get a bit of duff down your back. Prior to the squats we worked the rope in intervals with spiderman push-ups and bicycles. Then Jake was off to help his grandmother with her swing dance group and Cara and I walked the Sunrise Trail. Not bad for an afternoon after work...
