FNGs:

Warm Up: SSH, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Windmills, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps

The Workout: On the menu today was a modified Murph, done AMRAP style (no specific count to achieve). Since it was rainy, Best In Show made the recommendation that we modify the pull-ups as to not slip and risk injury. We opted for dips instead. 

We started out with a quick lap around the soccer fields. Then it was explained that this would be an AMRAP workout, 45 seconds on and 15 seconds off. Three exercises: dips, merkins, squats. Free to do them in whichever order, but switch each time. The idea of an AMRAP Murph seemed to throw PAX for a loop at first, but these are a bunch of smart guys and they caught on pretty quickly. We were able to get in 7 rounds of that before closing it out with another lap around the soccer fields.

Mary: Popcorn Mary

Announcements:
– Free CPR class at Holly Springs Library, Feb 7 at 6:30pm!
– Watch out for your fellow PAX and reach out when you think they could use some help.

T-Claps (Recognition): Arby’s has come out of the gate strong! Third workout in a row and just started. Try to keep up fellas!

Prayer: Best In Show had an unspoken, reaching out to a friend
