Another warm humid morning was served up for the 14 of us to enjoy!  As there were no FNGs a quick disclaimer was given and we warmed up with some Moroccan Nightclubs, Don Quixotes and Side Straddle Hops.  After that we did the Pledge.

A short mosey to the front of the Gaston County Administrative Offices.  There we prepared for the Walls of Jericho.  We did seven sets of each of seven exercises and then took a lap around the building.  The idea was to repeat this seven times.

The following were the called exercises:

Jumping Spider
Merkin with a bounce on the up (getting feet & hands off the ground)
E2k
Elbow to knee
Russian Twist
American Hammer, but I needed an “R”
Imperial Squat Walker
Cruel cousin of the Imperial Walker, squat between each elbow to knee
Crunchy Frog
a Dr. Seuss favorite, too bad he missed them
Happy Jacks
5 side straddle hops quickly followed by two jump squats
One-legged burpee
Not enough exercises start with “O”… this was a crowd pleaser

I should have made tic marks as the laps were completed… I though we were on lap six, but a vocal contingent insisted we had done seven rounds.  I capitulated to their count so we went to a more open space in the parking lot and lined up for 11’s.  We did merkins and tiger squats.

Mosey back to the flag and do flutter kicks until TIME!

Everyone put in some good hard work to get just a little bit better.
