FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
CONDITIONS: COLD! Sub zero temperatures.

WARMUP:
25 IC Side Straddle Hops
10 IC Burpees

THE THANG:
Mosey to the High School Football Field(0.40mile)
Partner up and grab a coupon for each team. All PAX lined the sideline in their teams.
While one team member conducted the exercise the other ran sideline to sideline and the entire PAX waited in the squat or plank position until everyone returned.
First exercise curls, second exercise squats, third exercise overhead press; all with coupon. Then the coupon was carried by the runner, first front rack carry, second shoulder carry switching shoulders at the other side and third overhead carry; all while the partner did Merikans, WWIs and Burpees.
Next we conducted a sprinted race to the other sideline and back. The PAX was tricked with saying the last person had to do ten burpees but we all did the burpees together. 40 flutter kicks and a Lap around the track. Started over the exercise with the first three exercises.
Mosied back to the park, finished with some hangs and dips.

MOLESKINE: Burpees suck after a sprint!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: Shy-Guy’s M is expecting their second child any day now. Prayers for Strutters MIL.
