Another cold, misty day at Quagmire brought 9 Pax out for a Christmas Tree inspired workout.

To warm up, we took a long mosey around Rivergate including some dynamic stretching (High Knees, Butt Kickers, Toy Soldiers) ending in the Home Depot parking lot for COP.

In order to keep the Pax warm, we did each of the below exercises followed by 10 SSH’s IC.:

• Windmill
• IW
• Cherry Pickers
• Mountain Climbers
• Peter Parkers

Now that everyone was warm, we moseyed to the front of Marshalls for The Thang:

We took on the Christmas Tree of Pain. We started at the x10 level and performed 10 reps of each exercise, then a short recovery run out and around the traffic circle before starting the next section.  We worked our way all the way up to the star where I called an Omaha on the Overhead Claps. I changed it to Jack Webbs instead (Sorry guys). See the tree below for the exercises.

The Pax pushed through the pain quicker than I had anticipated, so we had some time left after the tree. I decided we didnt do enough legs so we found some wall next to the Marshalls. We did x3 10 counts in the People’s Chair followed by 10 Jumping Lunges in IC. We did this circuit 3 times before out legs could no longer take it.

With only a couple minutes left, we formed a line and took a long Indian Run back to COT.

Thanks to all the Pax that came out on this cold wet day and gave it there all. It was great to see Smokey back out in the gloom.

Until next time, its back to the Hunt…
