Workout: We moseyed left out of the parking lot onto Shady Greens Drive. While running Breach spotted some fire hose. Continued to Brushy Meadows where we picked up a cinder block. Performed squats here. Turned left onto Brushy Meadows towards Hilltop Needmore Road. Made a left on the red trail where we did more exercises. Moseyed towards the PVA and we located a set of tractor weights. Each PAX alternated taking the coupons. We dropped all the goods off at my vehicle and Indian Run to the lower Red trail (Back 9). Once we made it all the way to the bottom we found a 16’ Treated 8×8.

The PAX paired up with 8×8 and did squats all the way up while the remainder did AB exercises. Once the exercises were completed IC to 15 they ran to the PAX with the 8×8. Rotated and rinsed and repeated 4 times from bottom to top. We did LBC, Merkins, Plank Jacks, Bearcrawls, Burpees and several more.

PAX were instructed to travel the width of the 4 tennis courts by broad jump, 5 star jumps, broad jump, 5 prisoner squats, wash-rinse-repeat until you reach the other side and squat-hold for the 6.  PAX then traveled back to the start across the 4 courts with the Obama (named after the 44th president) 4 steps in bear crawl followed by 4 merkins, wash-rinse-repeat until you reach the other side and plank-hold for the 6.  PAX loved these so much, we decided to do it again but had to limit each to the halfway mark to save on time.  Once complete, PAX traveled to the concession stand via Indian run for more fun.  Half the pax held BTTW, while the other pax did an exercise, then switch.  (exercises were 1:step ups x10 each leg, 2:bulgarian squats x5 each leg, 3:Erkins-Derkins-Dips x5 each).  Half the pax then held People’s chair while the other half did exercises, then switch.
