A workout revolving around the following two circuits:
– Form a triangle with the PAX. One PAX throws a basketball to the next, then does butt kickers to the next point on the triangle. Another PAX catches the basketball and sprints to the next point. The third PAX does high knees to the next point in the triangle.
– Two PAX do big boi sit-ups, with a basketball toss and catch at the top. The other PAX does 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off of plank jack variations.

WARMUP: SSH, Willy Mayes Haze, Michael Phelps, Rockets, Down Dogs

THE THANG: Af the quick warm up the PAX set off for a mile around the track that included some side shuffling and some down to the left and right, capped off with a lap of Ricky Bobby.

After this the coupons were distributed and the pax set off around the track waiting for the signal to start. The coupons/exercises were:

-30# medicine ball/two hand squat throw
-20# medicine ball/shotput throw alternating
-40# medicine ball/between legs backwards throw
-Cinder block/murder bunnies
-30# dumbbell/alternating curls and overhead tricep press
-/walking burpees
-/lunge walks
-/bear crawl
-/sprinter

So, when YHC gave the signal we all stared out around the track doing the exercise. When the sprinter reached someone, they would do the exercise and that person would become the new sprinter. This continued until we finished about 2 laps. We had 25 jump squats in the middle and ended with a ring of don’t let it stop SSH with one pax in the middle doing medicine ball slams.

MARY: Yep!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: cleanup

COT: Get out of you comfort zone, try some new stuff and embrace the uncertainty.
