My small group class and I are not pleased with the time change - it makes our 6PM class take place in some darker circumstances and while I have some really neat, environmentally conscious and at the same time very useful lighting on the way, it hasn't yet arrived.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon Workout
It had been a drizzly, booming in the distance messy rainy day - but the Winter Park small group was not to be deterred.
