PAX: Kosher, Stickers, Woody

FNGs: Nope

YHC had a plan today consisting of coupons and the soccer field at Disney. Despite Disney’s vast footprint, I had a plan to keep us close to home while getting in some solid work. It worked out perfectly if I do say so myself….

Warm Up:

Good mornings x 10 IC

SSH x20 IC

Imperial Walkers x20 IC

Goofballs x 20 IC

Sir Fazio arm circles forward and reverse each way x 10 IC

Seal claps x10 IC

Overhead claps x10 IC

The Workout:

THANG 1: Surveying the battlefield

Unity run around the loop outside of the soccer fields i.e. our “battlefield”… Mumblechatter was great as YHC and Woody got to know Stickers a little better.

THANG 2: Preparing for battle

We headed over to the low wall at the playground to “prepare for battle”. This consisted of 3 rounds of:

Urkins x 20

Dips x 20

Split squats each leg x 20

Derkins x 20

THANG 3: The battle

PAX headed over and selected a cinderblock coupon of choice, then cusacked over to the battlefield aka the Middle Creek Mustang soccer field. We lined up shoulder to shoulder to form our line along the 18-yard box. There we dropped our coupons/heavy artillery to save for later.

Round 1: PAX sprinted to mid-field, then performed WW2 x 20. PAX continued to sprint to the opposite touch line, then completed Carolina Dry Docks x 15. PAX returned to mid-field, then completed American Hammers x15 IC. PAX then returned back to the 18-yard line to find their coupon. There we completed Round 1 with coupon swings x10.

Round 2: PAX cusacked their coupons to mid-field as we continued to advance our line. We dropped our coupons again there and then continued to the touch line, where we completed air squats x20. PAX ran back to the opposite touch line and completed low slow flutter x15 IC. PAX returned to mid-field and grabbed their coupons, where we completed skullcrushers x10.

Round 3: PAX cusacked their coupons from mid-field to the front line aka the opposite end of the field. There we did overhead presses X10, then cusacked our coupons back to mid-field and noticed that the opposition had come behind us…there was only one thing left to do….

Round 4: The final assault…PAX did murder bunnies with their coupons from mid-field back to the 18-yard line, sparing no bunnies in our wake.

We celebrated our victory and returned our coupons back to the bunker.

Mary:

Popcorn mary consisted of Homer to Marge, Ankle Grabbers, Side Hip Raises, Dying Cockroach, and a little stretching.
