upon review of the planned moves to be done this morning, none call for a yoga mat, which of you think about it, makes the whole thing funnier, to me
dudes love to attemp tuck jumps on a yoga matt (???) which then slips out from under them like a cartoon banana peel after which the dudes fall on any old arm which they recently happened to dislocate from their torso, adding a wrist sprain to the casualty accumulator
