While in awe at the number of Merkins the ISI folks had been posting during the month, QIC decided that it was time to give the group a break and work on other basic exercises this fine morning.

Warmup: 20 SSHs, 20 Imperial Walkers, 20 Mountain Climbers, 15 Abe Vigodas, 30 Arm Circles (15 forward, 15 back).

We grabbed a rock and moseyed over to the track where we split up into teams of two to complete a Dora (with QIC going solo until joined by Chips riding in hot) for upper body strength.

One partner started on 100 reps of Triceps Press, 200 reps Curls, 300 reps Chest Presses, while the other partner ran to the 50 yard line and back.

Next, we formed a circle for some modified leg and core work Tabata, doing a cycle of 1 minute of each with 20 seconds rest in between of Squats, LBCs, Lunges, and Flutterkicks. Rinse and repeat.

We returned our rocks, gathered for announcements and intentions and moseyed off to start our day. Thanks for allowing me to lead.
