“Build a platform—prepare for the unexpected… you’ll know you’re successful when the platform you’ve built serves you in unexpected ways.” — Pierre Omidyar
Now take that same energy to your 4-minute plank workout.
Because your body is your platform. Your core is your foundation. And every second you hold that plank, you’re building something that will serve you in powerful, unexpected ways.
🔥 4-MINUTE PLANK CHALLENGE❗️Work it! Work it!

On September 28, our team went to watch the Mariners vs. Dodgers game, the final game of the season. Unfortunately, the Mariners lost, but it was an amazing day because we got to see Kershaw’s last pitching performance and a home run by Shohei Ohtani. And our very own Cal Raleigh (Mariners) won first place in the home run rankings. We were really inspired by seeing athletes from another sport, and we want to do our best at the Rainer Cup on October 5.
Summer training by the ocean 🏝️ 🏃
It was so much fun!!
