The bitter cold only brought 13 to The Storm, but that’s okay, I’m sure everyone is getting that last fartsack in before February 1.

Seeing no FNG’s I gave a brief disclaimer followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. We did some arm and leg stretches and then the four ruckers took off, and the rest went and started the beat down with a lap around the parking lot.

The REAL WARM UP:
Running the rows of the parking lot closest to the football and practice field.

    • Row 1: 5 Hand Release Merkins + 1 Burpee
    • Row 2: 5 Hand Release Merkins, 10 Goofballs (count one side) + 2 Burpees

    • Row 4: 5 Hand Release Merkins, 10 Goofballs (count one side), 15 Squats, 20 American Hammers (count one side) + 4 Burpees
    • Row 5: 5 Hand Release Merkins, 10 Goofballs (count one side), 15 Squats, 20 American Hammers (count one side), 25 Seal Jacks + 5 Burpees
    • And what do you know… a train sound horned… so an additional five Burpees
