Had a great group this morning at The Ballroom!  Perfect size for what was planned.

Started out with a mosey across the parking lot away from the Hardees to the road that leads to the warehouses.  From there we turned left to get to Gold Hill Rd and headed toward the Hardees.  We took a slight detour through the Hardees parking lot to pick Cake Boss and ran across the street where we circled up for COP.

• SSH x25
• Imperial Walkers x20
• Windmill x15
• Mountain Climbers x15
• Merkins x10

Mosey down the hill to the pot of gold in the form of coupons.  Everyone grabbed a coupon and we split into two groups. One group ran to the top of the hill (stop sign) with the coupon while the other group completed the round’s exercise.  Then switch so everyone shares in the fun.

• Round 1 = Squat Press – Running group running normal with coupon
• Round 2 = Coupon swings (holding coupon between legs, swing it back and then up to shoulder height.  Heavy emphasis on controlling the weight and not swinging it.) – Running group running normal with coupon
• Round 3 = Tricep Extensions – Running group running backwards
• Round 4 = Bend Over Rows – Running group running normal with coupon
• Round 5 = Cinderblock Tower of Merkins (right arm on block for 2 Merkins, then both hands on block for 2 Merkins (kind of like a diamond merkin), then left arm on block for 2 Merkins) – Running group running backwards

Return the coupons to their place of rest so they are there for another day of fun.  Bear crawl up the hill to the second stair case then mosey to the building with the barking guard dog.  Took a seat in the Peoples Chair for 90 seconds.  Balls to the wall until we heard a few drop.  Rinse and repeat.

Mosey back across the street which was a little more like Frogger than it was 35 minutes earlier and returned to the cars because it is so much fun to workout right in front of Anytime Fitness.  Bear crawl half way across the parking lot and crab walk the rest.  Was going to rinse and repeat but was talked into Mary by some very convincing PAX.
