Closed out the month of May with a few ‘stations of fun’. Strong showing with PAX of 15 for Thunder’s beat down. Special thanks for Stark for equipment and ideas for making the workouts all the more challenging.

Warm Up:

  • SSH (20) IC
  • Fozio Arm Circles (10 F / 10 R) IC
  • Mountain Climbers (20) IC
  • Standard Merkins (20) IC
  • Jog to the playground area for a little “Morning Call”; each PAX held plank position while one man at a time would do three pull-ups. Each pull-up called out PAX in plank would do standard Merkin.
  • Jog to back of soccer field for some Derkins where PAX did 10 derkins IC on each of the three levels of the fence.
  • Jog to stairs behind Hunt Center for Wheel Barrels up the stairs
  • Crawl Bear down the BIG hill just behind stairs
