Warm-ups: ssh, grass grabbers, self love, torso twists, windmills, arm circles.
The thang: The pax moseyed to the wall ( east or west, I’m directionally challenged) stopping at every fire hydrant to do 5 burpees. Over the bridge to a nice wide open space for a little 7v7 football. Each team must complete 5 conductive passes to score a point. First team to 5 wins, the penalty for the team not scoring the point was 5 burpees for the first game, 10 jump squats for the second game. Zoolander came prepared wearing cleats, we had a drive by from Bushwacker, blood was shed from Bird and Fracsac, and Shooter laid YHC out. But it was a fun and much needed game day. Moseyed back for leg lifts to end it out when we discovered that the church bell chimes at 7:30, who knew. COT, Shooter prayed us out, welcome FNG Mayor Booty. Thanks for letting me lead, SYITG brothers!

You call that cold? – from Russo
32 degrees greeted Pax this morning as the South Louisiana Polar Bear/Bare Club (Northshore chapter) held its annual meeting at Granny’s. Look it up, it’s a thing.
We get what YHC would consider “brisk” conditions maybe 5 or 6 times a year, and today was one of ‘em. Not enough for sleeves or full length pants, but we’re getting there.
4 HIM asked “What’s Tabata with you?”:
Warmup (10x – 25x, all IC)
– Seal jacks
– Toe touches
– Self love
– Cherry pickers
– High knees
– Grass grabbersThang:
Planned Tabata, generally 40 seconds on, 20 seconds rest.– Freak Nastys
– Step ups
– Urkins
– Freak Nastys (again)Pax moseyed from Granny’s over to the Marsh, and then the long way home (using the trail) where Tabata continued with:
Peter Parker’s
Shoulder tap merkins
Plank jacks
Squats
Lunges
Crunchy frogs
LBCs
Crab cakes
Hip slappers
Apollo Ohnos
Jump squats
Big boy sit-ups
Monkey humpersBetween rounds at the Marsh, we talked laps around the b-ball court like we were punished in middle school for hiding the dodgeball.
Back at Granny’s, we wrapped it up with some calf raises up the pilot house (3x each step) and then a quick round of American hammers.
COT, Name-o-Rama, announcements, and prayer closed us out.
Really enjoyed the conversation and camaraderie today, gents. Thanks for joining me and allowing me to lead the superstar crew.
