Nimble Minds
FNGs: None in sight
Warm Up: SSH, daisy pickers, fazio arm circles, seal claps, the flapping bird thingy. Mosey around a downtown loop with more traffic than expected, then off to the parking garage.
The Workout:
Started with a leg focus by lining up along a parking space and doing Baryshnikovs (squat followed by a one-leg jump), 10 spaces. Not particularly acrobatic or graceful, but got the job done. Duck walked back.
Moseyed to the stairs. YHC was a little too eager and took the PAX all the way to the top of the steps, then had to retreat back down a level to get to the top of the parking deck. At that level PAX lined up along a parking space and completed three lunge walks followed by a copperhead squat (prisoner squat with a three count on the down) down the length of the deck, then 25 calf raises OYO.
Time for some upper body focus.
PAX lined up facing the opposite direction and went about half the distance of the lot doing bear crawl merkins (three lengths of bear crawl followed by a merkin with arms staggered). Around half way PAX switched to the Dirty Harry (crab walk with full extension of the stepping leg; not exactly sure what that has to do with Clint Eastwood) to the end of the lot.
Moseyed to the rock pile for a full set of Jack Webbs (to 10 merkins, 40 presses) with rocks, interrupted by one arm curls (X 10 each arm) and one arm triceps press (X 10 each arm). Some decent mumblechatter but very limited counting by the time we got to 10.
Mary: Returned the rocks and headed back to the start for core exercises, including low slow flutter, dying cockroach, diamond merkins, homer to marge, plank jacks, crab jacks and others that YHC is forgetting at the moment.
Finished with a short focus on healthy minds, including a minute of silent meditation followed by a cross-lateral exercise that’s focused on communication between the two brain hemispheres.
Announcements: Not sure – YHC was retrieving his cell phone – see Slack and FB
T-Claps (Recognition): All the PAX that showed up this morning to continue getting stronger in the new year
Prayer: None spoken, CHIPs took us out with a hopeful message for the new year.
It was a pleasure to lead. Aye!
