Fun with Balls – by Happy Gilmore
Pretty standard warm-up – a little moseying, SSH, Imerial Storm Trooper, Mororcan Night Club – stuff like that.
A little more moseying – and then we grabbed some blocks and headed to the soccer pitch (I've been watching Ted Lasso – so I thought I should call the field "the pitch".
We circled up in the middle (the circle is 20 yards across), with a bucket in the middle. In the bucket – the balls! Golf Balls – different colors and designs. Each pax took a turn picking a ball – which represented a specific exercise that the pax got to lead!

Psychedelic Ball Mobility Moment
After picking a ball and doing the exercise, the ball was supposed to go back into the bucket. After The Force picked the white (burpee) ball for the second time, for some strange reason he threw it away. No more burpees! It turns out that was a good idea and we limited each ball to being used twice!
A quick round of Mary and I called Recover Recover, 5 minutes early!
A few notes: The Force showed some impressive speed on the sprints. Elmers brought his awesome Jeep Wrangler – like all the cooll people. Hasselhof taught us all a thing or two about soccer (the "side line" is really called the "touch line") and Nacho was rocking the weight vest the whole time – very impressive!
Thanks to all that joined me at The Estate for my 2nd Q. See you in a year or so for Q#3.
