WARMUP: Mosey to the swing & do an exercise
In c cadence all the way around the park – 9 stations, 9 exercises – .6 miles. Warmup complete

THE THANG: At the hill behind the restroom building – 10 squats at the bottom every time back down. Shuttle run to each light pole for 10 of a particular type of Merkin and return to the bottom for squats. Regular – pole 1, Diamond- pole 2, Wide arm – pole 3, Regular – Pole 4, Diamond – Pole 5.

After a ten count – we went to the infamous hill at the back of WEP for a Jacobs Ladder of 11’s.
Burpees at the bottom, nur up the hill, lunges at the top and jog back down. Repeating until pax had gotten their fill.

With 10 minutes or so to go, we moseyed together in reverse and, at each swing, an exercise was called in cadence. We arrived at the final swing at 0728 giving us 2 minutes to get to COT and arrive promptly at 0730.
