For their homework assignment, the PAX at Bounty were asked to read all about fast twitch muscle fibers and the difference between these and slow twitch. Why? Well, YHC just thought we could all use a refresher on why we do this to ourselves every Monday. Read the article for yourself below. Don’t ask me to explain it, I just live it, once a week at 5:15 every Monday at the Lexington High School track. Come join us sometime.
