Kicking off the month of thanksgiving and a new playlist of thanksgiving songs, I have a turkey inspired themed workout.
Warmarama- SSH, WMH, Arm Circles, Michael Phelps, Manafort Goodmornings
The Thang: Mosey over to the steps for circuit work spelling out the word T-U-R-K-E-Y
One minute each and then switch- we did two complete circuits
T- Toe taps on steps
U- Up and down agility ladder
R- Rows or pull-ups on steps
K- Kicks with bands
E- Elevated homers on steps
Y- Y merkins or pushup and then reach out to one side
Over to ball work
Overhead claps with weighted balls 15 IC and rinse and repeat
The PAX were asked if they preferred turkey or sides. The group was divided based on their choices into team turkey and team sides for the next rounds of team competitions.
For the competition- it was a race for each Pax to do 10 kettle bell swings while each team was in a low squat hold and passed around the turkey weighted balls in a circle. (I am sure a dirty joke will come out of this at some point this month but for now this is what we did) Race till each Pax did the swings. Team Turkey won round one and team sides won round two.
Up the hill to the gaga pit. All balls in the pit with team turkey on the inside and team sides on the outside. It was a one minute timed to see if team turkey could empty the pit while team sides kept putting balls back in the pit. (Again, I am sure a dirty joke will be offered at some point) Team turkey won round one and team sides won round two.
Finally, every good Thanksgiving or family gathering ends up in a food fight over masks or politics so we ended our turkey day with a tennis ball food fight. Team turkey was the targets originally where if they got hit by a ball, they had to do a burpee but if the team sides missed on the toss, they had to do a burpee. We did this for a minute for each team and then moseyed back to the AO for a quick Mary.
Mary: 3 count dying cockroaches as thanksgiving ends the cockroaches get the leftovers
Thanks for letting me lead and hope to see you all soon. What a great location.
