Grab some coffee and something to eat.

Did you know the twelve days of Christmas begins on the 25th and ends Jan 5th with Epiphany Feast? We ain’t done yet.  And Yardsale’s skiing stories are just beginning.

Assignment: Moving spot to spot for 45 minutes around the school, each man got to choose the next ab or ab “adjacent” core exercise to repeat in 12 days of Christmas song style.

These are the 12 abs we chose today:

1 … “and a 30 second plank from F3”
2… Burpees, “and a 30 sec. plank from F3”
3… Alabama Prom Dates, 2 burpees, and a 30 sec. plank
4… Reverse seated crunches, 3 Proms, 2 Burps, 1 30 sec. plank
5… 4 ct. Flutters, 4 Rev. crunches, 3 proms, 2 Burps, 1 30 sec. plank
6… WWIIs, 5 flutters, 4 Rev. crunches, 3 proms, 2 Burps, 1 30 sec. plank
7… Hillbillies (?), 6 WWIIs, 5 flutters, 4 Rev. crunches, 3 proms, 2 Burps, 1 30 sec. plank
8… Windshield Wipers, 7 Hillbillies (?), 6 WWIIs, 5 flutters, 4 Rev. crunches, 3 proms, 2 Burps, 1 30 sec. plank
9… Freddie’s, 8 Windshield Wipers, 7 Hillbillies (?), 6 WWIIs, 5 flutters, 4 Rev. crunches, 3 proms, 2 Burps, 1 30 sec. plank
10… I honestly can’t remember, but we did all the rest
11… Yardsale broke the rules and chose squats… then all the rest
12… Trout chose Helicopters because everyone was burnt out and the clock struck :45

“And a 30 second plank from F 3 “
