As YHC stared at the artic forecast on my phone, the only thing that kept coming to mind was an episode of Man vs. Wild I saw a couple years back. Bear Grylls (the manliest man that ever lived) was "stranded" in some frozen locale and sought to teach viewers what do to prevent hypothermia in the event that they can to cross a river/stream/etc. in frigid conditions.

First thing, I remember is that he got completely naked (so his clothes would be dry on the other side of the crossing). I decided not to work that into the Q. Second, thing I remembered is what he said as soon as he got out of the water. "You've got to get move and stay moving to generate the warmth your body needs".

So that was the goal to today. Get moving and stay moving so we could survive and attempt to lasso a mountain goat later in the day – I think that's the 3rd thing I remember from that episode.

Warm-up
Up and down mosey in parking lot lanes alternating with high knees, butt kickers and karaoke.
Then Imperial Walkers, Moroccan Nightclubs and Willie Mays Hayes.

The Thang
11's – Derkins & Aussie Pull-ups
Start with 1 Derkin at playground wall, run around outside of playground in parking lot to handrails and knock out 10 Aussie Pull-ups. Back to wall for 2 derkins, etc. until you finish 10 derkins and 10 aussies.

Mosey'd to the bottom part of the lot and circled up for repeat circuit with everyone taking a turn counting cadence.
Circuit – 20 Tuck Jumps OYO, 20 Mountain Climbers IC, 20 Shoulder Taps IC
Each PAX could decide if they wanted to call a 10-count before beginning their round, otherwise we rolled though non-stop repeating the circuit 8 times in total and shedding layers througout.

Took up more time than I imagined, so we mosey'd back for Mary and continued round the horn exercises:
MLP – Flutters
Deep Dish – LBC
Wreck-It – WW2's
Boucher – Heels to Heaven
Scribble – perfect ending with cadence count breath work in child's pose

Well wishes for Lap Lane's brother and his wife, being induced today with their first child.
Be on the lookout for Boucher's 2022 Resolution Challenge on Slack. Accountability and donation to charity of winner's choice at stake.
