PAX: Aristotle, Iditarod, Scraps, Ace, G-String, Black Lung, Big Worm, NPR, Grohl, Yosef, Air Wolf, Nadal, Pharoah, CDL
14 PAX enter the Gloom for Aristotle’s V-Co-Q, walk away with smoked abs and Beatles tunes in their heads.
Warm O Rama:
Long lap around the Boro town Square sidewalk, with a random Bear Crawl for fun
SSH x 20 IC
Thriller x 10 IC (Modified Willie Mays Hays, the side slide + stomp + clap that zombie Michael Jackson does in the music video)
Arm circles and Reverse Arm Circles (with rhyming unison chant) x 18 IC each
Extended Good Mornings X 10 IC
The Thang: The “Fab Four.” A mix of exercises through four Beatles songs of around 2.5 minutes in length, with a lap in between.
“She Loves You” do a Bodybuilder every utterance of “she loves you” and “yeah yeah yeah” with run in place in between
Lap around the Courthouse
“Help” V-sit at every “Help!” Flutter kicks during verses, crunches during choruses. Do not let your feet hit the pavement. (The goal is to have everyone by the end crying along with John Lennon “help me get my feet back on the ground”)
Lap
“Why Don’t We Do It in the Road” – 2 Copperhead Squats every time Paul McCartney belts out “road” –but due to music technical difficulties and a few false starts, Aristotle and some PAX finish out the song a capella
Lap
“I Me Mine” During George Harrison’s lament about selfishness as the band broke up, PAX hold a plank. Pushup every time the Quiet Beatle sings “I me mine” –and Alternating Shoulder Taps during the two rock ‘n roll breakdowns.
Lap
(Aristotle realizes after the fact that Ringo was the only Beatle not represented in vocals. Should have done “Yellow Submarine”)

Moleskine: Aristotle shared devo/reflection about the balance between his love for rock music vs. love for the Bible. He has memorized many song lyrics since his youth, but through 15 years of empirical experience, always senses a positive difference when he does the Bible instead. Go and do likewise. Prayed for PAX to build up and encourage one another in and outside of the Gloom.
