YHC on Q this perfect morning but the usual Pantheon crowd was severely diminished as a result of the #P200 taper (and probably better Qs elsewhere but I’m sticking to the taper excuse). So, as 5:15 rolled around we had a fearless foursome ready for some Tabata.

Mosey around the lot with butt kickers, high knees and shuffles.
Circle up for some necessary stretching/warm up: WM, IW, SSH, Plank series, Moroccan Nightclubs

TABATA – 20 second AMRAP followed by 10 second rest. All exercises done for 8 sets before moving to next exercise (4 minutes each)

1) Broad jump w/ fast feet back (complete broad jump then fast back peddle back to the line and repeat)
2) Apolo Ohno with a chop (basic Apolo Ohno then take both hands and touch the ground beyond outside leg)
3) Mountain Climber Merkins (1,2,3,4 merkin)
4) Lunge with a Twist to outside
5) Squat thrust to frog jump (basically a burpee w/out the merkin and concentrating on the squat instead of jumping into a plank)
6) Apolo Ohno to high knee (side lunge with a knee drive)
7) can’t remember this one???
8) Russian twists

Mosey back around the lot with butt kickers, high knees and shuffles then plank series stretch before COT.

Announcements: Read your newsletter – special mention of the convergence for the 4 yr b-day
Prayers/Praise: CSPAN and his M on their trip to Columbia, Funhouse on his trip to Mexico, Trucker on his trip to Abu Dhabi and praises for my 2.0 getting over a stomach bug.

Good small group today – not a lot of mumble chatter during the active portions but the Tabata format allowed for some good fellowship during the rest periods.
