Staying warm

Yog a lap then circle up for usual stretchy warm up exercises. Yog down to behind school for some wall qork. Everyone get in peoples chair qhile one by one PAX bear crawl to other end. Next series was broad jumps. Next was 11s. Start on one end of gym with 1 bomb jack and run to other side for 10 seal jacks. 2-9, 3-8 etc. Finished in middle. Next was pax picks.
