First (but not last) Kickball game at GP

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

FNGs: None
Warm Up: 10x3ct of: Good Mornings, Daisy Pickers, Calf Stretches, Windmills
The Workout: PAX mosey to field and set up bases for kickball. Teams were 4 on 5. First 30 min PAX did exercise until ball was kicked then fielders did 5 Merkins before they could field the ball.  Because this resulted in a lot of scoring we switched to 1 Merkin before fielding.  The pitcher occasionally (YCH included) failed to remember the Merkin and any actions they took were negated by said failure. Score ended at 12 to 12 when one HIM kicked the ball way foul and time expired. Exercises included SSH, Squats, Frankensteins, Split Jacks, American Hammers,  LBCs, WW2s, Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly’s, Sir Fozzy Arm Circles, etc
Mary: Just circled up and conducted standard COT

Groundpounder 6/25

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

8 pax took on a warm Sat morning at the Groundpounder. (Cancun, Forceps, Gump, Cupid, Pumpkin Spice, Finkle 8-bit, and Breach on the Q) 

Warm Up: 22 counts of ( SSH, Windmills, Frankensteins Imperial Walkers/Hillbilles and Squats)

The Workout: What would ground pounder be without some rock work, so we moseyed over to the rock pile to get a rock to share. All pax would perform an exercise and then move around the circle in a plank position and do a rock merkin at each rock you pass, so caring was absolutely sharing. We then took a short mosey up and down the hills in a snake pattern to make bystanders think that we didn’t know where we were going, a quick stop at the railing for some Irkins and Dips before heading over to the basketball court.

We split into 2 teams of 4 and did what can only be described as backyard fast-break basketball. Our shooting and dribbling skills could use some work, but “Shaq” Cancun used his size to his advantage and got a lot of rebounds along the way. Overall it was a sweaty rendition of summer b-ball and no injuries were reported.

Announcements: Still looking for volunteers for the 5th celebration in HS, Picnic on July 30th

Closed in Prayer:

Moved over to the wall for some 22 cadence counts of people’s chairs and Balls to the wall, round 2 we got out Al Gore on and did some Australian mountain climbers.
