Explosive Christmas Cheer

Nothing says Tender Tennessee Christmas like a mid 50s temperature and cloudy skies that greeted the 28 PAX in the gloom.

We began with a warmup mosey around the bus loop and circled up in the parking lot for WOR.

20 SSH
10 seal claps with butt kickers
(Do we call them Seal Kickers?)
10 BAC
10 RBAC
10 Good Mornings
10 WMH
10 HopKicks
10 Tempo Merkins

Thang:
YHC was eager to spread the Christmas cheer, so we divided into 4 groups for a 4 corners explosive workout in the parking lot.

Dimensions of said rectangle were roughly 15 X 25 yards. Important because we bear crawled between each corner.

Corner 1 – 15 burpees
Corner 2 – 15 jump squats
Corner 3 – 15 jump lunges (1 1, 2 2, etc.)
Corner 4 – 15 clerkins (merkin with a clap)

We did the lap of all 4 stations 3 times. Legs were on fire after lap 1, and shoulders were quick to follow. MC from Cinderella after lap 1 questioned YHC’s spreading of Christmas cheer.

Moseyed to the bus loop and spread more cheer by bear crawling to the top of the hill and performed 10 reps each of the 4 explosive exercises from the loop.

SSH for the 6 and headed to the playground for the 3 sets of:

15 rows
15 derkins
15 hanging knees to chest — after reading about some advanced calisthenics moves this week, I came across this. Loved the way it crushes the core stabilizer muscles. And you get some lat work too.

Moseyed back to the parking lot for one final explosive exercise: the sprint.

We sprinted the length of the parking lot, roughly 40-50 yards, and then finished the capri lap by jogging in for Mary.

30 flutter kicks
10 Laney Lou
20 hello Dolly
10 AST
5 good mornings — per request from D’mish ‘n Donuts — although I should’ve denied the request if I knew that he fartsacked on coffeeteria.

Great work today. And welcome FNGs Barney Feivel and Ulysses. EH’d by NumbTucks.

Announcements — no detention on Monday. Enjoy the Christmas holiday.
New Year’s Day convergence at the Hill.

Prayers for those families who have lost loved ones. Christmas is a hard time for that. Specifically the Kemp family.

And thanks for the prayers for my wife — God’s name Kate. (ask Bagger) The tumor is stable and hasn’t changed, so we’re very thankful about that.
