The Workout:
26 PAX this morning for a crisp April morning game of UFO. We apparently still need to update the website to ensure the start time is updated to 0515 because we had 6 – 8 of the 26 show up after 5:15, I’m pretty sure they still owe ~15 burpees because they missed the warmup, haha. Great work to all the HIMs that showed up, it is always great to get out and get our weeks started out right.
Mary:
Cleanup of the field
Announcements:
@finkle stepping up to take over the Nest, the mission is to Plant, Grow, and Serve. For anyone who is part of the Grow, but not yet taken up the Serve, think about what you can do to take the next step. Without it, the “Plant” will die.

The Workout:
We built a pyramid of exercises today. The format was simple, we’d start at 10 and work to 1 and then back down. The first set would be just the 10, then the 10 and 8, then 10,8, and 7. So on and so forth. And yes, I left 9 out on purpose because 10+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 46. The exercises were as follows:
10 – Swings
8 – Figure 8 (duh)
7 – Goblet Squats
6 – Curls for the girls
5 – Tris for the guys
4 – Lawn mowers
3 – Midget love handles
2 – Turkish Getup
1 – One minute of plank switches or holding plank when you needed a rest
Once we got through that we did another 8 burpees to bring the total to 16. We then worked our way backwards down the pyramid, removing exercises as we went. So the first round we eliminated the plank, second round we eliminated the Turkish getup, etc. This took us all the way to the end.
Mary:
There really wasn’t time for it. We spent a minute doing a bit of light stretches.

Warm Up: Started the warm-up with some Side Straddle Hops, Frankensteins, and Willy Mays Hays to get the muscles moving before the main event.

Many discs were dropped, and many burpees and squats were performed, but we got the job done, and everyone walked away relatively unscathed.
