T’was Tuesday morn’ before Christmas and all through the town, a few real men were stirring…
Gents, been a great year! Couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than to ‘pay it forward’ with some of the more grueling work outs I’ve experienced throughout 2022. So I went with a Santa’s Elves theme to keep us busy and warm.
Early Bird Special – DHS (Downsize, Heisenberg, Slice) were out at 5am for 2 miles. I’m liking the newer ‘Triangle Route” (Lehigh St/Main St/Walnut/Brookside/Lehigh) as it’s better lit and smoother terrain. All we need to do now is keep a short leash on Slice…
Welcome/Core Principals/Disclaimer – announced and agreed to at 5:30
Warm Up – stretches/SSH/Abe Vigodas/Merkins/Mountain Climbers/Peter Parkers/Side Lunges/Imperial Walkers
THE THANG – it’s almost Christmas eve, the elves are hard at work. Thought I’d follow their lead:
Santa Claus’s Workshop Circuit – exercise/transportation 15 yards/mosey around the ‘workshop’ including 2 stair runs
Burpees (12)/Teddy Bear crawls (cute and cuddly-not)/Mosey ‘round the workshop w/up & down stairs, back to the start
6 Breakdance merkins/Crab Walks/Mosey…
Long Birddogs (hold for 6 seconds per side x 10)/Alligator Merkins/Mosey…
Half Supermans/Lunge Walk/Mosey…
Mosey to the Band Shell for caroling? Nope. BTTW/People’s Chair/Decline Merkins
Santa Forgot His Hat! Sprint to the north gate & back – roughly 75 yards each way
Bench Work at the pavilion. Using the picnic tables: Step ups (10 each leg)/Dips for 20/Kick-outs for 20
Mary – back at the flag. Dealer’s choice: Dollys, American Hammers, LBC’s, Box cutters, Hillbilly Walkers, brought us to 6:15
Cor, Nor, CoT.
Men, thank you for the privilege of Qing this morning, and this year!
