Reindeer Tryouts amid the 12 Days of Christmas

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , ,

FNGs: Nil

Warm Up: 
Side Straddle Hop
Windmills
Daisy Pickers
Frankensteins
Imperial Walkers
Sir Fazio Arm Circles

The Workout:
Reindeer Run (Indian Run) the long way around the main fields with our destination set at the rock pile.  Grab a medium size rock and carry it back to the smaller picnic shelter.

We performed the 12 Days of Christmas workout just as the song intended. YHC figured out the bluetooth speaker this time and had some free Spotify playlist at the ready.  Apparently “Pop Christmas” isn’t just Christmas songs, so we had quite the variety as well as some mumblechatter about various prescription drugs and their side effects brought on by the ads.

12 Days of Christmas Workout: 

1 Lap around the Tennis Court
2 Monkey Humpers
3 French High Knees (Ea. Leg)
4 Calling Curls for the Girls
5 Golden Ground Pounders
6 Geese a Laying Leg Lifts
7 Swans a Squatting
8 Maids a Merkins
9 Ladies Break Dancing (Bears) (I.C.)
10 Lords a Lunging (Ea. Leg)
11 Pickle’s Pounding (I.C.)
12 Drummer’s Driving Buses (I.C.)

Mary:
A lot of Mary mixed in with the workout, due to time constraints, we did a bit of stretching and closed it out.

Announcements:
Be safe with upcoming Holidays and travel

 Prayer:
Pray for patience and being an example for those around us. Holidays can bring us together with family we may not always get along with, but give strength and patience to the HIM we want to be.
