For 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, Imperial walkers, Manafort Goodmornings

The Thang: Mosey over to the park 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 yo-yo pushups rotating around changing angles

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.

Over to ball work- 15 overhead claps with the butterballs and rinsed and repeated until shoulders were well done

Circle and pass the turkey- in a low squat hold weighted turkey balls were passed around in a circle, the distances between the PAX slowly increased and we switched directions passing the turkeys. Any dropped weights resulted in 1 penalty burpees.

Pass the turkey over the tennis court fence. We spent some time running around passing the weighted balls back and forth. Team turkey won once and team sides won once.

Every good Thanksgiving or family gathering ends up in a food fight over masks or politics so we ended our turkey day with a 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.

Since the beginning of this month, I have wanted to play hoover ball. The idea is to pass a weighted ball over a fence or net and it can be really competitive and exciting to play. This was our first time and so I am not sure everyone quite understood the rules but it would have definitely been better on a dryer court and with more light and a higher net.

We moseyed back to the AO for some flutter kicks and cockroaches always get to eat the end of the turkey leftovers.

Thanks for letting me lead and hope to see you all soon.
