Peanut butter and jelly, ice cream and cake, bacon and eggs, pancakes and syrup, peas and carrots, Hall and Oates, fish and chips….

Some things are great on their own, but can be even better when paired with a perfect complement.  I believe Moderation and Monday fit that category.  They are both great on their own, but can be even better together.

This was my first time posting at #independence, let alone Qing it.  Its a great AO with lots of options for things to do, whether its in the Dinkins Parking lot or the Quidditch Field(I saw them playing Quidditch there once, so that’s what I call that field now).

Warmup

With the Board of Moderation anxiously awaiting the PAX the warmup was simply a short mosey around the parking lot. Warm-up was built in to the Board of Moderation.

Meat and Potatoes(I’m trying to make this a “thing”)

Phase I

PAX partnered up and performed the exercises splitting them as they saw fit.  Also at the men’s discretion they ran down and back the length of the parking lot 3 times during the completion of Phase I.

1. Imperial Walkers x100
2. Overhead Claps x150
3. Squats x100
4. Peter Parkers x100
5. Italian Night Clubs x150
6. Windmill x100
7. Merkin x150
8. Side Straddle Hops x150
9. Carolina Dry Docks x150
10. Monkey Humpers x100

Phase II

In this phase we flipped the board, front to back.  I think this caught most of the PAX offguard.  But as a teacher I believe in posting the objective daily and this was no different.

During the phase the exercises were in the parking lot and we moved just a bit.

• Crawl Bear(reverse Bear Crawl)-down and back 3 parking spot lengths
• Bear Crawl-down and back 3 parking spot lengths
• Bunny Hop-down and back 4 parking spot lengths
• Carioca(not karaoke-Google it, although as an employee of a district that uses Microsoft I might be contractually obligated to say Bing it, I will have to check, Schrute can you confirm this?)-down and back 4 parking spot lengths

Phase III

• The Abdominal Station
• Flutter kicks x30 OYO
• LBCs x25 IC
• Rosalita x25 IC(en Espanol-although we werent a very worldly group and sorta stopped county at vente)
• Partner Leg Throws x40 or to failure whichever came first

Phase IV

Today’s Greatest Hits-when planning this portion of the workout I initially thought of straight dealer’s choice opening up any exercise, but then I thought I better Walker-proof and Apache-proof it(before I learned Apache was on Q at Old Town) and make it only exercises we had done earlier, that way nobody could sneak any burpees.  We all know that a workout cannot be called moderate if there are burpees included.

I cannot recall all the exercises we repeated but I remember Merkins, Carolina Dry Docks, Squats among others.

Circle of Trust

PAX were counted and Names were Name A Rama’d.

Praises and Prayers

• Prayers for our nation/law enforcement/race relations
• Chuckie’s mission group on their departure and return from their Salkahatchie week
• silent prayers
• Prayers for one of our more humble, private HIMs, I will leave his name off here in deference to him.

Again, men, it was honor to lead you for a few minutes.  This AO has a lot of potential.  A lot of ground o
