Feel the burn

The college kids are home for the summer, and three of them stood behind me in my gym class today.
After a half-hour abdominal workout, we started the cardio and strength training portion by doing lunges, squats and frog jumps across the room, followed by squat-thrusts, plank pushups and jumping jacks.
The young ladies, all college athletes judging from their team T-shirts, were clearly getting more than they bargained for and exchanged looks of disbelief, much to the delight of our instructor.
"Horrible pain!" one exclaimed.
Afterwards I asked them what they thought of the class.
"That was so ... intense," one said in amazement. "And we were the youngest ones there!"
Gotta say, that boosted my spirits.
