YHC was relaxing at home after a calm and quiet Christmas day with the family, when he received a reminder text for his Q at Okwata tomorrow morning. So, after a few minutes of thought I had a basic workout prepared and was ready for the next morning. As I dozed off to sleep, I was inspired by the Christmas spirit, hopped out of bed, and scribbled some notes on a random piece of paper. YHC had to incorporate a Christmas theme to the workout
11 PAX (JV coming in hot) met at the flag at Okwata the morning after Christmas and moseyed to the intersection of Canal Blvd and Lakeshore Drive for warmup. Warmups consisted of SSH x 26, Imperial Walkers x 15, Grass grabbers x 10, Shoulder taps x 30, Arm circles x 10, and self-love.
The PAX remained in our circle and counted off. We did one round of the following exercises at the count / number of reps next to the exercise.
- 8 Count body builders
- Jack Webbs
- American Hammers
- Squats
- BURPEES
- Penguins
- Merkins
- Monkey Humpers
- Hillbillies
- Bonnie Blairs / Lunges
- Big Boy Sit Ups
- Flutter Kicks
After the first round – PAX were ready to go again. This time to the theme of the Christmas classic – The 12 Days of Christmas”. Shuffles started us out with “On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me – 1 8 ct. body builder. After the first 2-3 rounds of the song, the PAX got the hang of it. Each PAX enthusiastically called out their exercise and we were able to complete the entire song with a few minutes to spare.
In the remaining time, PAX did two laps of Bernie Sanders (run backwards up the hill and forward back down the hill). Mosey back to the flag for finish at 6:15.
COT, announcements, intentions, and gratefulness for the Christmas holiday. YHC is thankful for the opportunity to lead and for the participation of the PAX in the post-Christmas workout.
