Preamble:
The heat wave is over- back to sub-freezing windchills. YHC read the 5 core principles & gave a passable disclaimer.Warm-O-Rama:
Moseyed one lap in the parking lot in case of stragglers & picked up one or two as a result. Then mosey'd over to the coupon pile near the pool & circled up for several standard warm up exercises- arms, hamstrings, hips, etc.The Thang:
I made up a game for today, but I did not explain it well. In fairness to me, I'm doing well to form any complete sentences at 5:30. We made two teams, and the goal of the game was to steal all of the other team's coupons.- Split into teams & go to your side of the parking lot.
- Everyone get a coupon.
- Each team gets half of the workout deck. I had divided the decks into halves before the workout, spreading the suits evenly between the halves.
- Each team deals 16 cards in 4x4 grid, face down. The rest form a draw pile for later.
- The game is played in rounds of 5 minutes. To start, everyone carries their coupon around the lot & when your whole team is back, turn 4 cards & do those exercises together. Then do another lap & turn 4 more. Continue until the end of the round.
- At the end of the round, the team with more completed exercises (cards showing) wins, and they steal 1 coupon from the other team, which will now travel with them around the lot.
- Before starting the next round, each team goes to the opponent's grid. For each coupon your team has, you can 'reset' a showing card by either 1) flipping it face down, or 2) replacing it, face down, with a card from your draw pile.
- Start the next round, traveling around with all your coupons on each lap.
