Event Date

Nov 29, 2016


Five of the 28216's finest made it out on an extremely pleasant morning (even with some precipitation), to enjoy a full serving of Ab leftovers.

The Thang

No Mary necessary after that one. Some may even say it was all Mary

Moleskine

  • Workout liberally borrowed from Arizona one a few months ago (which was borrowed from an El Tigre workout prior to that).  Pax confidence in the Q heightened when he had to ask Arizona to demonstrate some of these exercises

  • Toy Soldier renamed “the Rockettes” in honor of Pompi family pilgrimage to the Radio City Music Spectacular. Nothing demonstrates the spirit of Christmas better than seeing a live nativity (camels were in the house) on the Radio City stage that was jam pack full of wise men, frankincense and myrrh and a swaddled Baby Jesus….and then having the Rockettes prance across the front of the stage with the eye-high leg kick in perfect unison. Just like it was at the first Christmas.

  • Potential conflicting messages between the spirit of Eating Season and advising Pax to do push-aways from the table. The key is moderation

  • Pax gaydar triggered twice on both the “Side Plank Hip Lifts” (you are doing it incorrectly if you can only feel it in your forearm) and the “Oblique v-ups” (some resembled more like an oblong v-up)

  • Grip balloon was at full exhalation mode during the windshield wipers (thought there may be a Grip version 1.0 newborn addition after that one)

  • People’s chair may been inspired by the Chinese Red Army

  • Q is a man who needs some yogi assistance with getting into the proper form during certain “Deep Stretch” poses

  • The band R.E.M. is from Athens, Georgia. Apparently that is where “Shiny, Happy People” are from

  • Great work men!
