Hana and the mom doing pullups

Rarely in sport or fitness do people of such varied ages, backgrounds, and capabilities do things together. Hanna is 17 and about to graduate as valedictorian of Santa Cruz high next month. My mom is 58 and has four children and five grand children. And here they are both doing pullups together in the same class at the same time and enjoying it. What a treasure.
