Warm-O-Rama:

Disclaimer given. One pax just rolled in, so we started with warmup in place. SSH, Hillbillies, Weed Pickers, Squats and OYO Arm Circles. Mosey all around behind the cinema building to the small parking lot there.

The Thang:

TABATA  - 30 seconds Jump Squats, 30 seconds Merkins, 30 seconds Groiners, followed by 30 seconds Burpees and 20 seconds rest. Rinse and repeat 4 rounds. The background playlist were a bunch of songs I like from any and all varieties. I had there pop, rock, country and more. The PAX had a lot to say about that, and their breaking point was The Love Shack. I did skip forward a few songs for the mental and emotional well being of the PAX. We recovered with a 10 count and a small recovery run, then came back for a repeat of the same format, but different exercises. TABATA  - 30 seconds Hand Release Merkins, 30 seconds Supermans, 30 seconds Shoulder Taps, followed by 30 seconds of Superman-No-Cheat-Merkins and 20 seconds rest. Rinse and repeat 4 rounds. another 10 count we moseyed to the front of the cinema, where an orange con was waiting. Actually, 3 cones stacked. Ring of Fire - split into 4 groups. Group #1 starts at the cinema, #2 there's another stack of cones at a nearby parking lot island, #3 in the pavilion across from the cinema. #4 starts from where group 3 is and runs to replace #1, which replaces #2 and so forth. After a complete round, when a group returns to the starting point, switch cones. The cones had a nice mix of arms, legs and core, but... we run out of time after 1 round and a bit so we basically did arms again. The first round had Donkey Kicks, Peter Parkers and One-legged-Merkins. The second round had LBCs and some other things. The cones were shuffled so I'm not sure what was in the other stations. Timing-wise, I should have set the 4 corners closer to each other. maybe half way across the cinema and not all the way across. Oh well, there would be more Qs to make it right.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

I really appreciate the men of this group! There were a lot of respects this morning, and I say it in the best way possible. The opportunity to open up and talk with other men, same age and a bit older, is such a game changer for life.
