Name that Artist!

AO: Sparta

QIC: Nano

The PAX: El Nino, Yard Sale, Zeus

WarmUp: SSH, Willy Mayes Haze, arm circles, Michael Phelps, and cherry pickers

The Thang: The PAX started with a quick mosey to the Sparta rock stadium with some butt kickers, high knees, and fast feet.

We each took our own row and began name that artist. The PAX had 1 minute to name the band or singer, if they were unsuccessful, it was a 3 manmaker penalty.

To make it a little easier, the artists were in alphabetical order so at least they had a letter as a clue. The exercises were:

• Absolution 8-count plank iron
• Bonnie Blair’s
• Caterpillar Jumps
• Dancing Bears
• Elcapitan -Walking Lunge
• Freddie Mercury – crunch oblique
• Global Warming – In a circle, bent legs, call out 2 exercises
• Hillbillies
• Inch worm
• Joe Louis – Punch Punch Duck Recover
• Kicks
• Lunges
• Merkins
• Non-Alternating Shoulder Taps
• OllieNorths – Carry a man around on your back <—Replaced with air-squats

COT: On 12/18/1865, the 13th amendment was officially accepted after a majority of the states approved it. That was almost 3 years after the emancipation proclamation. I think it is important to recognize that our country has had a troubling past, and it can be extremely slow at change. But, we need to keep in mind that throughout time, we do continue to get better and improve the lives of everyone in this great country. So look to the future with confidence that these conflicted times will once again lead to a better nation. This starts with each of us doing our part and trying to look at everyone as people, regardless of their views.
