Leave a comment

Today was the launch of the Swamp at a new location. The new name will be revealed at the end so you can skip down or search Slack.
10 men showed up, will a sneaky snowman arriving after warm-ups. Slow mosey to the church parking lot for COP. Standard exercises (SSH, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, Plank Stretches. Next we broke into groups of three, alternating sprints by each pax to get our heart rates up. Ten minutes, with a decrease in distance making the rest period less as we progressed through this exercise.
Next, we moseyed to the daycare parking lot for two rounds of Ab exercises (LBCs, Flutters). No rest, continued on our journey to the fountain. Half Pike routine, 10 hand release merkins at the fire station, down the hill to the fountain, 1 burpee and +1 after every pass, top of the other hill, 10 lunges. Rinse and Repeat. Most pax got in 5 to 6 rounds.
