THE THANG: After a brief fellowship lap around the track the PAX gathered around in a circle on the sports ball fields to learn the true meaning of Festivus: a non-denominational holiday filled with one sided ridicule and mindless physical tests of strength. Also, there was an aluminum pole. • The tradition of Festivus began with the Airing of Grievances:
The QIC had a lot of problems with a select few PAX, and now they were going to hear about it! The QIC barked the ways in which they had disappointed him over the past year. After each name was read, and an appropriate insult hurled, a burpee was performed collectively by the group. And now as Festivus rolls on, we come to the feats of strength.
• 50 yard line – pair up, 1 PAX carries the Festivus pole to the goal line and back while the other PAX does a high knee skip. Switch exercises at the goal line. • Remaining PAX performs the following until each team returns: o Mountain Climbers
o Star Jumps
o LBC’s
o Heisman Shuffle
o Bonnie Blairs
• Mosey’d to the parking lot for some Flying Dutchmen, forward then reverse • Mosey’d to the Ampitheater for 20 Upper Deckers, 20 Merkins, 20 Dips
• Back to the field for the Ring of Festivus Fire – each PAX performs 5 goblet squats with the pole whilst the remaining PAX hold plank
• 2nd Ring of Festivus Fire which was a terrible idea – 5 goblet squats then bear crawl around the circle while remaining PAX held Al Gore

MARY: Flutter Kicks, Alabama Prom Dates, Box Cutters, J-Lo’s, Nolan Ryan’s

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Horizon 12/25 workout, the ARC, AMBAB

COT: Traditions are important, no matter how silly or insulting they can be. Whichever holiday you celebrate, real, fictitious, or nothing at all….I wish all of you and your families a safe and happy December and a joyous New Year.

WARMUP: The only warm part of this workout was bogey’s coffeeteria
THE THANG: Sprints then cardio Tabata. 3 rounds of various exercises with some tunes to I keep us moving. MARY: 3 rounds of American hammers, v-ups, and toy soldiers
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: Amplifying Legacy’s comments on 1stf channel – don’t let the small stuff get in the way of the big things this holiday season. For example, there are probably a lot of SEC football fans stressed and anxious as they wonder if their conference is any good after losing to big 10 teams all weekend. But they shouldn’t let that take their minds away from family and the true spirit of the holiday season.
