Pro AM at the Groundpunder

/in /by

FNGs:None

Warm Up: lots of mumble chatter about Fram on the queue, mini packs considered staying home as they were apprehensive as we dropped four sandbags next to the flags.
SSH, Frankenstein’s, good mornings, imperial March to a sumo squat, plan, cold and squad hold while mission statement and principles were said.

The Workout: mosey the rock pile, carry 2x 40 pound bags and 260 pound bag bags. Grab a rock if you didn’t have a bag. Throughout the course of the main event, we picked frisbee targets that one pack through and counted the number of throws to hit target. That rep count was either Burpee‘s squats or Merkins in rotating fashion. We circled through the pax twice and had a lot of laughs while throwing. 
final hole closest to pin varying exercise exercises Ausfart killed it one throw 5 foot away.

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. 

The Workout: The main event started as one big group with a Burpee on the frisbee drop, but then a few more showed up, and we had to split into 2 games. 

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

Announcements: Q them all and set a number of weekly workouts challenges are active and running. If you complete the Q-Them all challenge, you will receive a custom shirt.
