Possum Trot Circuit

Warm Up: Started with a jog around the tennis courts, down to the baseball fields, and back to the parking lot where we circled up.  Standard warmup of side straddle hops, imperial walkers, good mornings, forward and reverse arm circles, as well as some Michael Phelps.
The Workout: partner up (size doesn’t matter) and everyone grab a rock.  Set the rocks up in two lines headed down the parking lot (set up for station 2 complete). Jog down to the wall and concession stand to demo station 3.  Back up to the parking lot to begin.

The buy in is each partner runs around the parking lot doing 10 patty cake merkins when meeting on each side.

Station 1 – agility drill using lines in the parking lot

station 2 – proceed to rocks, one partner on each side and work your way through the 9 rock stations with whatever you choose without immediate repeats.  Pax hold plank if there is a line behind the first rock.

station 3 – 1 partner does step ups or box jumps on the wall while the other bear crawls to the stand and back. Switch and repeat.

rinse and repeat stations 1-3 until time is called

Mary: consisted of pax calling out 10 rep exercises until time.
Announcements: Sasquatch, Benson launch this Saturday, Dauber will lead next week for a bday Q, Stovepipe will lead the following week.
