Kimberlee soon finds out, Zelia was coming up with a WOD (workout of the day) for them, using their new benches. First box jumps, and then...

Pushups, Zelia is trying to show Kimberlee the MOD (modification) for full pushups, but Kimberlee is still dreaming about those treats...

I'll admit, I had to look up this lovely name given to her by my lovely daughter (who is 11), who knew, she knew...

Zelia /ze-lia/ [3 sylls.] as a girls' name. Possibly from Solenne (French) "solemn", a saint's name. Also possibly (Greek) "zeal, envy" or a variant of Cecilia (Latin) "blind". Uncommon. (info from www.thinkbabynames.com)
