It was a brisk morning at North Chatham Elementary. As soon as I rolled into the parking lot, I saw a group of men participating in Extra Credit man makers. I hoped my workout would meet the needs of these men.

Warmup:

SSH, WMH, FWD arm circles, REV arm circles, Over Head Claps, Seal Claps

Main Event:

The PAX executed a version of what is referred to as 7 of Diamonds in the Exicon. In the great state of North Carolina I’ve also heard it called 4 Corners. The PAX traveled to all four corners of the parking lot executing the same exercise for the same number of reps. At each stop a member of the PAX would answer the questions: 1) What would you like as a gift this holiday season?  2) What would your significant other like as a gift this holiday season?

For each round the PAX executed the following exercises:

• 5 x Burpees
• 10 x Merkins
• 15 x LBC’s
• 20 x Flutter Kicks
• 25 x Slow Squats

Some Gift Ideas for the PAX (themselves):

• Kayak
• A shower system for camping
• For my daughter to break up with her boyfriend

Some Gift Ideas for PAX significant others:

• A special trip for significant other
• Time in the special camping shower
• A roaster

The PAX  executed 3 rounds of Colt-45’s.

The grand finale was a round of 10 x Ring of Fire Monkey Humpers per PAX – a classic in the making.

BOM:

I often struggle with giving thoughtful gifts to my wife at Christmas.  I know it’s only November 2nd, but based on some of the answers above, I would strongly suggest the Jag PAX start the process NOW of identifying a special gift for your significant other this holiday season. Make it count.
