Continuing in the tradition of lessons in music history (previous classes included Disco, New Wave Post Punk, Old School Country, and @CubCadet ‘s favorite, Southern California Death Metal), YHC felt a Bomber Friday was the perfect time to teach a lesson on funk music. The playlist consisted of some of the greatest funk songs, but funky also means stinky. So, it’s time to break a sweat.

CONDITIONS: Perfectly funky

PLAYLIST:
Play That Funky Music – White Cherry
Get Down On It – Kool & the Gang
Funky town – Lipps Inc.
Low Rider – War
Shining Star – EWF
She’s a Bad Mama Jama – Carl Carlton
Flash Light – Parliament
Super Freak – Rick James (dammit)
Got to Give it Up – Marvin Gaye
Word Up – Cameo
Jungle Boogie – Kool & the Gang

WARMUP:
Mosey around baseball field to rec center and circle up.

THE THANG:

#1: Get Down On It: Side Straddle Hops while this funk classic plays. Every time the words “get down” are uttered, PAX do a jump squat. Reminder as we start that it’s a 5 minute song.

#2: Upper Body: 100 reps of incline merkins, dips, and underdogs. Run around rec center after each exercise.

#3: Legs: 100 reps (each leg = 1/2) of squats, iron mikes, and mountain climbers. Run around rec center after each exercise.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Welcome FNG Waterboy, a UF Gator
– Prayers for Yuri and family
– 9 days left for the leanpaxers

Thanks as always for letting me lead you. The mumblechatter dropped off, so I’m hoping folks got funky while we got funky. Appreciate all of you for pushing me.
SYITG,
Vector
