With temperatures in the low 20’s, it was a perfect day for…….Basketball?? This ain’t Orange Theory my friends; THIS IS ROCK N ROLL!!!!!!!!
Mosey to the basketball court for warm-ups: Jazzercise, Monkey Love Makers, Apple Bottom Poppers, Copperhead Squats, Arm Circles, Alabama Prom Dates, Lunges, Karoake, Mario Jumps, Open the Gate.
Exercise One: Each PAX takes a turn making a lay-up on both sides of the court. They call out an exercise that is done for the duration:
Merkins, Burpees, Rosalita Dips, Hold Plank, Side Straddle Hops, 4 others that I cannot remember
Exercise Two: Mini Abcathlon
Run the perimeter of the park, stopping at 5 stations for 50 count ab exercises:
Heels to Heaven, American Hammers, Freddy Mercuries, Flutter Kicks, LBC’s
Mosey to the Snack Bar for Exercise Three: Triple Check
Runner goes to end of parking lot, Hand Release Merkins, Balls to the Wall
Bonus: 50 Count WWII’s – thanks Rodeo Clown
Back to the Basketball Court for Exercise 4: Free Throw Challenge
Each PAX gets a foul shot: If you make it, lead an exercise in cadence. If missed, everyone does a suicide. After House Party and I made the first two, we endured 7 consecutive misses. Suicides it is. We also added 10 burpees due to several air balls.
Back to Flag with some Moroccan Night Clubs, Arm Circles, and Raise the Roofs mixed in
Numbers (9), Names, Announcements, Prayer Requests
YHC took us out
Final Thoughts: I had some other things planned, but when I saw the partially deflated basketball during warm-ups – could not resist. Free throws do not appear to be our strength! Despite the terrible shooting, it was a great morning with everyone working hard and contributing various ab exercises. Sounds like the Latino Market is coming back soon – which means Spring is on the way!
