I’m trying to get in the Christmas spirit and it seems like everything is fighting against me this year. So since I had the Q at the regions premier JV afternoon workout, I decided to make a Christmas playlist, hook up the Bluetooth speaker and celebrate the Christmas season.
Warmup
SSH x 10 IC, Toy Soldiers x 10 IC, Hillbillies x 10 IC, Squats x 10 IC

Mosey to the small soccer field for the 12 Days of Christmas while listening to some traditional Christmas music (Manheim Steamroller, Transiberian Orchestra, Charlie Brown Christmas and Porky Pig). Some claimed the music was too loud but most enjoyed the sounds of the season.
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me “A lap around the soccer field”, etc., etc., etc.
2 Decline Merkins in cadence on bleachers called by Freight
3 Dips in cadence on bleachers called by Sister Act who is new to Midoriyama (great to have him)
4 Step Ups each leg on bleachers
5 Burpess OYO
6 Low Slow Squats called by Blart
7 Merkins in cadence called by Tater Hole
8 Dying Cockroaches in cadence called by Swimmer
8 Little Baby Flutter Crunches in cadence called by Tiger
10 Big Boy Sit Ups called by Dr. Seuss
11 Mountain Climbers in cadence
12 CDD’s in cadence
After each lap around the field I asked each guy to tell a Christmas memory from their past and we had some great ones. My Mamaw Wells after dinner would always say, “Get the Elvis album, It’s time to dance.” Here are a few from the guys: One of Freight’s family members always brought another family member an unwrapped six pack of Schlitz beer. The recent Slaw Christmas tree incident at Sister Act’s house where somehow the tree limbs gave Slaw a wedgie as SA’s M and girls were driving by was a fun one. Tater Hole wasn’t allowed out of his room on Christmas Eve so a bucket was necessary for “bodily functions”. Seuss had to help clean up his grandparents house and this sometimes required scaffolding. Tiger and Swimmer had some mischievous activities going on with some cousins and of course Blart and Ash Pond fighting over Casio watches.

COT Remember Tiger’s dad, Stroganoff’s MIL, Broke’s wife, My son Logan had Mono but is feeling a little better. Oompa Loompa took us out.

** It was great to be out with the guys today. For some reason, I seemed to be laughing most of the workout. The mumblechatter seemed extra funny today, even the CDD jokes! Guys telling funny Christmas stories about friends and families. Guys saying the wrong ages in Nameorama. Guys calling me and Oompa old. Guys making fun of exercise form. It was a fun time!
