The Thang: Calisthenics Mission: MI theme song music while PAX did high knees. The word Calisthenics comes from the two Greek roots that roughly translate into our words for strength and beauty. So PAX partnered up for paired strength and beauty exercises. While one partner did 25 reps of a strength exercise the other partner held a “beauty” pose. Strength exercises included: Merkins, curls, squats, Freddie Mercuries, tricep press, shoulder press, back rows, half Superman, crab cakes, and chest flys. Beauty poses included: low plank, Al Gore, six inches, iron cross, straight arm jugs in front, ballerina, people’s chair, back blank, and side plank. Highlight exercise was and Al Gore Derkin combo. While one partner held an Al Gore pose, the other partner put his feet over his shoulders and did a dozen Derkins behind him. Inspirational verses Heb. 12:12 and 1 Peter 3:4 were memorized during the exercises.
