Fifteen warriors of the 21st century showed up not to dance, but instead to battle at TBD this AM.  The first few rays of the sun revealed a heavy mist on the open field next to the playground, and within the mist there were several “heavy surprises” awaiting the PAX.

WARM UP

  • SSH, Imperial Walkers, Arm Circles (Forward and Backward), Torso Twists, Air Squats and Slow Merkins

THE THANG

PAX was split into groups of two.  All then jogged to the covered picnic area to complete the following (all exercises in cadence):

Series 1

  • Partner #1 – Pull-ups x 10
  • Partner #2 – Reverse Leg Raises (on picnic table)
  • Rotate and repeat (series completed twice)

Series 2

  • Partner #1 – Straight-leg Leg Raises
  • Partner #2 – Derkins
  • Rotate and repeat (series completed twice)

 

Enter the Heavy Mist

The PAX jogged from the picnic area to the open field beside the playground.  There was a heavy metal circuit set up in a line across the field.  Staying with your original partner from the picnic area, each group was assigned one of the following heavy metal exercises in the circuit (Note: while one partner completed each exercise, the other was tasked with running to the other end of the open field, where they would complete 10 merkins before running back to relieve their partner). After both partners completed the exercise and field run, they would rotate to the next exercise in the circuit.
