7 PAX braved the cold weather for the Fingers Christmas Pageant. The air was crisp and the classic Christmas music blared in the background as the PAX took center stage. We started with 20 Side Shuffle Hops, followed by 10 Imperial Walkers. 10 forward and 10 reverse arm circles came next. Then it got real. Fingers put on Selena Gomez’s classic “It ain’t me”. PAX circled up in a plank position and performed a Merkin with every pronoun (you, me, we, he, etc.) uttered by Selena. Halfway through, we stood up and held a squat position, rising to standing then back to squatting with pronouns (Selena loves pronouns apparently).

Now that the group was sufficiently warmed up, we did Christmas tree bob and weaves (running through the Christmas trees on the green) followed by 4 sets of 5 tuck jumps plus jumping over a Christmas tree or pile of Christmas trimmings. Repeated prior to starting the main event.

There were four stations at each of the four “corners” of the town green. Each station had four fun activities. Station one consisted of 40 Merkins, 20 EKG Merkins, 20 Clap Merkins, and 40 Donkey Kicks. Station 2 had four sets of 15 Burpees (Burpee Island). Station 3 had 50 Air Squats, 50 Jump Squats, 50 Jump Lunges (25 each leg), and 50 Standing Lunges (25 each leg). Station 4 had 50 Flutter Kicks, 50 LBC’s, 50 Russian Hammers, and 50 Heels to Heaven. Each exercise was done once as the PAX advanced around the green (Station 1, 2, 3, 4, then repeat for a total of four laps and 16 total painful sets). Last but not least, we finished with a Ring of Fire-holding plank position while a 5 Merkin wave splashed around the circle.
