Big Book of Pain

Six pax posted at Footloose.  I was expecting rain, but none was to be had.  This was part of the Q swap event for October…I was filling for Ruby Slippers.  Disclaimer given (twice) and then proceeded to:
Warm Up
Mosey run
SSH (IC 10x)
Windmill (IC 9x)
Imperial Walker (IC 10x)
Low Slow Squats (IC10x)
Mountain Climbers (IC 12X)
Plank stretches, up dog, down dog
Headed towards the benches area under the awning in front of the church.

Re-read chapter 1…make sure it sinks in.

Run back to COT area.
Thang 2: music routine
Sally routine: leg lifts, sally up = legs all way to 90°, sally down = 6″ off the deck.

Fini

Close out COT with ShopVac’s prayer.

Since Footloose is a ‘moderate’ work out, the Q should include some extra ’10 counts’.
But: I used Olaf’s suggestion from the podcast “Stuff worth trying” and asked a pax why they do F3 as a replacement for 10 counts.
This was a good application of the technique since this morning’s group was a mix of 4 veteran pax and 2 relatively new pax.
