EXTREME FITNESS IN EXTREME WEATHER

July 30, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Extreme fitness begins early. And it’s not difficult. Just get up early. Except in extreme weather, like the prolonged heat wave Arizona lives and works in, you can’t get up early enough. Open a morning door is like standing behind a car exhaust pipe.
