It wasn’t so much the heat, as the humidity that was out in force… due to that we drove over to the front of the middle school instead of the typical mosey.

WARMUP: SSH, Cherry Pickers, Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly Walkers, Moroccan Nightclubs

THE THANG: deck of cards
Ace: 1 Burpee and a lap (we went down and back in front of the school twice… mostly under cover)
2-5: Burpees
:diamonds:: Leg Lifts
:heart:: Jump Squats
:spades:: Mountain Climber (4 count)
:clubs:: LBC (4 count)

Made it through most of the deck

COT: Stay safe on first day of school travel
