  • I Brought Down the Average Age?

    Warmup was led by Surf N Turf. We did SSH’s, Heals to Heaven, Alabama Prom Dates, Arm Circles and some others.

    First set of exercises we walked the bus loop doing a different KB exercise at each light pole. We did Curles for the Gurls, Demon Crushers, Calf Raises and some others.

    Second set was 11’s across the parking lot. We did Lawnmowers and Sit Up Presses.

    Yard Sale took over for some 4 corners although I think we did 5. Exercises were boat-canoe, squats touching bench with your rear, KB swings switching hands and a couple more.

    Time was up. Numberama, Namarama. Announcements – Wong Tacos is open – we need to plan a visit next week. Maybe Tuesday which works well for Macho. The guys with kids at home are limited when they can attend. We empty nesters are pretty flexible. See you guys tomorrow for run/ruck/walk. SYITG.
