BEACH BODS 🏖️ 💪

AO: greenmachine
Q: Toothless
PAX: Pep, Cowboy, Betty Ford, Works for a Guy, Esposa
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6

THE THANG: BEACH BODS :beach_with_umbrella: :muscle:

Separate into two groups, one group moves around a 50 yd box while other group busts out reps. Mosey-Shuffle-Bernie-Mosey around the box. All PAX complete all prescribed reps of the following exercises, plank and wait for all PAX in group to finish each exercise before starting the next one.

– Crab Jacks x 50
– Happy crunchy frogs x 50

– Bulgarian Split Squats x 50
– Outlaws x 50
– Dry docks x 50
– Smurf jacks x 50

MOLESKINE:

PAX made it through BEACH B’S, as YHC stressed form as the most important aspect of the workout so we took our time. Surprising how much harder these reps were when focusing on perfect form and not compensation with other muscles! Learned that Esposa has some knowledge to drop surfing and has been on his own Surfing Safaris. Pep really liked the run portion of the workout, and as usual Works for a Guy crushed the reps.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

– AOQ Grow School 3/22, stonewall @ tel:0600-0800
– Merkin challenges continue!

COT:

Prayer requests shared, along with gratefulness for ability to be out and active. Coffeeteeria was excellent thanks to Cowboy’s consistent efforts.
