The Thang
To simulate the ski experience, we got in a low squat hold (long car ride) and each shared a memory of skiing.
Once we complete the journey, we did pistol squats (one legged squats) (putting ski boots on) 10 each leg
Then we did one legged dead lifts (tightening our boots)
20 Squat Jumps (making sure our bindings were tight)
We then moseyed to the bottom of the hill
We did a Ricky Bobby Low Squat Hold/Plank Walk, all the way to the top of the parking lot to simulate the first long ski lift ride
We did a run back down the hill, slaloming around each of the parking lot islands and regrouped at the bottom
Our next run up the hill was a little faster, we took the faster chair lift – another Ricky Bobby with a lung walk/spring combo to the top
Once we get to the top we got some hot chocolate = 100 Johnny Dramas on the top curve
We had a little liquid courage in said hot chocolate, so we bombed it down the hill (All Ya Got Sprint)
We then calmed our nerves by going up and down the bunny slope (Bunny Hop up and slow slalom down – watching out for all the little runts skiing around us).
Now it was time to do moguls. We moseyed to the top and the moguls were some lateral/diagonal hops down the center stripe of the parking lines. Each of us got tripped up on a particularly nasty mogul and we demonstrated trying to get up by way of the turkish get up (10 on the right, 10 on the left) and then took the moguls down the rest of the way down the hill.
We finished up with 10 clock face lunges (10 sets of Right leg forward lunge, right leg side squat, right leg reverse lunge, left leg reverse lunge, left leg side squat, left leg forward lunge).
We then circled up for
