PAX: Quip
FNGs: None
COUNT: 2
WARMUP:
20cc SSH
20cc Imperial Walkers
20cc Windmills
15cc Michael Phelps
15cc Mountain Climbers
Static Stretches:
– Across arm stretches

THE THANG:
1) DORA 1-2-3 – Teams of 2 pax working together to reach cumulative exercise goals of 100, 200, and 300 reps. Pax 1 executes as many reps as possible while Pax 2 sprints 100 yards down and back. Flapjack until team goal is reached. Exercises are a top-to-bottom of body progression, i,e, 100 merkins per team (chest), 200 LBCs per team (core), 300 squats per team (legs). If odd number of PAX then extra PAX will hold a plank.

2) Explorin – Moseyed while testing various exercises equipment positioned around the football field. Used this to do: 10cc step ups, 10 plyometric jumps, 10cc Aussie Merks, and 15cc dips.

3) Bear Brawl – Like a Football sled during two-a-days, Pax 1 assumes the Bear Crawl position while Pax 2 provides resistance to Pax 1’s shoulders and resists their forward progress for a pre-determined distance. Then FlapJack. Another advantage of this exercise is that P2 can provide encouragement/motivation into P1’s ear directly. MumbleChatter rises as resistance increases reciprocally.

10cc Reverse Crunches
10cc Flutter kicks
10 Partner Leg Push Downs
