This week’s Featured Athlete was chosen by Coach Arthur! Keep up the amazing work Paula! “My #DECFMonday goes out to #DECFMasters member Paula Leasure.  Paula joined the Double Edge community in September of last year.  She rarely misses a Masters workout and it shows.  Paula has lost a bunch of weight and on her retest of “Jackie” last week took 2 minutes off her prior time; that’s pretty awesome. When Paula started with Double Edge she was unable to get into an overhead position with her presses.  Today, after a some physical therapy and strength exercises, she has succeeded in reaching that overhead position.  She continuously strives to better herself. Thank you Paula for coming to every Masters’ class with a smile on your face and a can-do attitude.” – Coach ArthurRead more
