February 1, 2020,

Starts with a cool clear morning about 47F.

7:00am.  Gave the Disclaimer amidst all the jovial banter this morning. Everyone enjoying seeing each other again and enjoying the day.

Warm up exercises where the flag is supposed to be. Had no flag today. Neither of our usual flag keepers were there today.

12- arm circles.

Counter clockwise lunges walking forward and in a circle.

Counter clockwise lunges walking backward and in a circle.

 Abe Vigoda A variation on the Windmill.  Plank position. Point left hand to sky. Then right hand to sky.

Plank Jacks.  Side straddle hops but hands on ground

 Bobby Hurleys. Pat ground in front of your feet then go for a jump shot

Circle burpees. Everyone stand at perimeter of the 25 foot Brec circle, spaced equally all the way around the circle. Run to the opposite side of circle and there do 5 burpees.  When finished run back to original location and do 5 more burpees.  Did this 4 times.

Rotating Peter Parkers.  Plank position and with heads all about 6 feet apart, in a circle (all feet pointed outward) .  Instead of the usual Peter Parker we all walked on hands and feet in a clockwise circle. Then reversed and went in a counterclockwise circle

Moseyed with our coupons to the sundial.

Forwards stretch walk

Backwards stretch walk

Did several variations of Merkins.

First Sirkins.  Using the 2 ft. wall around the sundial.  Put right hand on the wall. Chest facing to the left, not face down.  Do a merkin with one hand. To modify I offered to do this from a position with one or both knees on the ground instead of the feet.  Did about 5 and then did left arm.  Tougher than a Merkin.

Did Irkins on the wall. Did about 12

Did Dirkins on the wall. Did about 12

Got down on our six.  Did about 10 LBCs

Then did about 15 Jane Fonda side leg lifts left side and right side. Not near so many as Nature Boy had us do a couple of weeks ago!

Then we did about 15 bicycles in  the air

Yoga Bear led us all in a new exercise called the Yoga Mary. It was beautiful
