  • Broga Breeze

    A welcome pack of 4 could not sleep in anticipation of the predawn group broga activities that awaited them this morning. The conditions ideal with a fine mist to compliment the starry sky. Shoulders, back, hammys, quads, calves and glutes were emphasized this morning. Extended shavasana is always a welcome call.

    After a brief hiatus due to various weather conditions and the warm embrace of the fartsack, YHC took the opportunity to get back in the grove with ideal conditions. Some field prep was required but good times were had by most. Thank you fellas for joining.

  • Twin Team Lounge

  • Tempting Offer

    A trio of Brogiis were tempted by the offer of pounding pavement for 30 minutes but to avail. Some consideration was had, but the allure of soothing Shavasana tones were too strong for this group on this day. Hips, shoulders and hammys were emphasized this morning. Back and glutes were not ignored followed by a very relaxing meditation/slumber at the conclusion. Some mumble chatter could be heard over the coyotes howl. Great work gents.

  • However you want to do it

    5 of F3RVA’s finest looking chaps and 2 not so much (you know where you stand) enjoyed the welcome abodes and comradery that the brisk fall Tuckahoe weather to see what was in store.

Appreciate the opportunity to lead such a fine group of fellas.

  • Watering the Bushes

    A pair of Broga regulars avoided the temptation of a prebeatdown run with Splinter in favor of a limbersome beatdown in the shadows of the church steeple. Shoulders, back, hammys, hips and glutes were the locations of emphasis. Nice discussion regarding international travel and conversation avoidance with the general public. Great start to a quality Upchuck beatdown.

  • Time Standing Still

Thank you gents for the opportunity to lead. Great work fellas.

    A fine looking group of 3 insomniacs met earlier than most for a loosening of various body parts and relaxation of others. As advertised, conditions were ideal for working of glutes, back, shoulders, hips and hammys. Happy endings with a relaxing shavasana. Seems EF Hutton was making a pitstop while passing thru on his summer tour adventures. Safe travels.
