Warm up with seal jacks and toy soldiers, 15xIC, then merkins, Nolan Ryans and plank jacks (10xIC).

The Thang:  Brought a couple new things to share what I’ve seen in other regions.  First is the ski jump from “Churham” (Chapel Hill/Durham)  – drop down to a low squat position on a slow 1-2-3 cadence then jump when Q says “Up.” We did 5 of these.  Next, not really new, was a mash-up of Apollo Ohno’s and Bonnie Blair’s. Should’ve tested that one out myself beforehand.

OK, let’s mosey. But, we’re taking the flag with us (like they do in Chicago as I learned from a visit last fall). High-knees across the bridge to Goat Island Park for an Indian run where the first in line carries the flag and the last man stops for 5 hand-release merkins before catching up to the front. This takes us about 2 laps around the park.

Next stop is the picnic benches for derkins, dips, and step-ups, 10 each.

Carioca back towards the bridge, circle up where the paths intersect.  Merkins, Nolan Ryans, Plank jacks (15xIC) then some ab exercises.

Mosey around the park then back to the picnic benches for derkins, dips, and step-ups, 15 each.

Carioca back towards the bridge, circle up where the paths intersect.  This time, round of Mary.   Bouquet brought up something new with a low plank mountain-climber type of thing that should definitely come back up in the future.  Amidst the groans of the PAX, he even told a decent joke about a Buddhist guy.

Mosey around the park then back to the picnic benches for derkins, dips, and step-ups, 20 each.

Carioca back towards the bridge, circle up where the paths intersect.  Just enough time for a few more exercises, then head back for COT.  Don’t forget the flag; high-knees across the bridge.

Pledge, announcements.
