Right now there are anywhere from 2 of us to 6. And if I dont show up cause of things (work, etc.)...then I get the &quot;lazy&quot; treatment. It makes me go workout I&#39;ll tell you that. That and seeing the dramatic shape my arms and body takes after working out for a few months. I love the shoulders. Plus the tan, though it&#39;s a little goofy looking.
