FNGs: none

Warm Up: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Daisy Pickers, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps

The Workout: PAX took the long way around the ball fields to the Abyss. At the top of the Abyss, YHC laid out the plan. Each PAX would take a turn running to the bottom of the stairs and back up. Meanwhile, the rest of the PAX would do an exercise. Repeat until everyone has had a trip down and back. Then switch the exercise. YHC did not realize just how long it would take to get down and back, and his arms paid for it.
Exercises were merkins, squats, WWIIs and lunges.

Next stop was the playground where we did three rounds of dips followed by people’s chair.

Mary: Popcorn Mary

Announcements: SIGN UP TO Q!!!

Prayer: Healing for Choppa’s wife (sorry if I forgot one)

FNGs: None, but @Karoake could be considered a Kotter

Warm Up: 5 burpees OYO, 10 GMs, 5 more burpees OYO, 25 SSH, 25 OH claps. Circled the fields and tennis courts a couple of times with minimum 5 burpees OYO at each corner, plus one exercise, including merkins, big-boy sit-ups, and OH claps.

Main Event 1: Suicides on tennis courts. Been a long time since we visited these. Recalled immediately that fenced sections are three courts wide, which worked out great.

Each run = Far sideline court 1, back; far sideline court 2, back; far sideline court 3, back.

Exercises upon completing each run = Plank jacks, shoulder taps, OH presses

Finished with one last run to far sideline court 3, Karaoke led the way.

Main event 2: Sprints on Ramp

Format: Similar to suicides – Sprint to first blue sign “Foul ball area,” walk back; Sprint to second sign, walk back; Sprint to third sign, walk back. We had time for only three, but everyone accelerated.

Mary: Stretched those hammies while they were warm.

Announcements: 3-Alarm event is on, just like every Tuesday. This week, there will be extended fellowship afterwards.

Prayer: Full House dad in hospital. H1N1 death in family and co-worker’s family.

Hope all have a productive week.
