Slow mosey around the perimeter of the parking lot, then circle up near COT for the following
WARMUP:

  • 20 SSH
  • 10 Windmills
  • 20 MNC
  • 15 Strawberry Pickers
  • 20 OH clamps

Then mosey over to the start of the WEP loop near the parking lot.
THE THANG:
5-25-250
In honor of Memorial Day (5-25) and the 250th Birthday of the United States of America
Run the WEP sidewalk loop. Start at the bathroom side so we get that nice uphill There are 11 swing stations. Run between stations. Stop at 10 of them, then do 25 reps of each of the 5 exercises at each of the 10.

  1. Merkins
  2. Mountain climbers
  3. LBC
  4. LSS
  5. Imperial walkers

At one station about halfway through we stopped to talk about the history of Memorial Day.
So mathing things out
5 exercises
25 reps each
10 stations
250 reps total of each exercise
By the time we got back around to the amphitheater it was 6am on the dot.

Simple yet effective. Repetition seems boring but doing max reps of an exercise, until it burns, builds tolerance, endurance, strength. We hit all major muscle groups. Got smoked.
MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Alot going on. Read the newsletter and get involved.
COT:
Alot lifted up. Family health issues, kids, parents, teachers finishing school; anniversaries; sons going into harm's way to help others; PAX health both mental and physical; and more.

Substi-Q'ing for Super-G who was not feeling well. We found some good ways to do hard stuff with our muscles. It came from one of my old weinke's balled up in a corner of the trunk of my car.
