  • Is this how the dinosaurs felt?

    7 regulars and 3 irregulars showed up for a shorter workout and some down home brekkie afterwards.

    I have no idea how the dinosaurs were expunged from the earth, but I always imagined it would have been a day like this, where the smoke/smog was super prevalent in the atmosphere. Thankfully, no one perished in our workout today.

    Anyways, here is what happened

  • Let’s play some cards

    3 guys posted for a card game/workout today.

    COP — fun exercises

    Card game — each person receives ten cards. randomly throw out one card. add the numbers up — pick an exercise out of the bag. Voila. Caveat. If two players cards happen to be the same, the exercises are doubled in the amount. That happened twice. 56 merkins was a lot, but we made it through.

    Other exercises along the way to break up the game — 5 pull ups while the pax did squats.
    Shoot your shot — 3 shots to make a bucket. If you miss all three, the pax does 5 burpees, if you make, 10 squats.

    Great job by the PAX today as we figured out the game together.
