The Workout:  Indian run to the back parking lot by softball fields. Find an accountability partner. Four corners: each corner had an exercise: 1. Merkins 2. Squats 3. Jump Rope 4. LBC. Start with 5 reps of each. After completing all 4 exercises, you increase the reps by 5,10, 15, 20, 25…. By the end, most PAX got to 35.

Part 2: Mosey back to the tennis courts. Scooter fun! Heard some mumbling from my pre-blast about scooters. These boys were in for some fun and a core beat down. Each PAX got on a scooter. Started with suicides of the following:

  1. Ride on your butt (legs only) 2.Super man (hands only) 3. wheel barrow (feet on board) 4. Partner pushes as you sit on scooter 5. Superman partner pushes you while you pretend to fly. The PAX had a blast using the scooters and getting a core workout at the same time.

Mary: Pass the scooter. Each PAX got in a crab sitting position with their feet on the board. We passed the scooters to the left. Don’t let your feet touch the ground. This was a great way to end. Wish we had more time to add.
