Mosey to the clubhouse pool with some gear in a pack.
At the pool set up the stations and started some headbanging music!
Warm up- high knees down and quadrafelia back. Then karaoke down and back – thanks Hefty for the course correction!
Partner up:
Lane 1 is swimming underwater carrying 2 10# weights, alternate hand over hand along the bottom – when you run out of O2 come up and partner takes over pushing ahead. Alternate to get to other end and back.
Lane 2 is swimming underwater carrying 2 3# weights, more of a swimming stroke- when you run out of O2 come up and partner takes over pushing ahead. Alternate to get to other end and back.
Lane 3 is swimming underwater along the bottom pushing an ab wheel. When you run out of O2 come up and partner takes over pushing ahead. Alternate to get to other end and back.
10 count break and then have partner swim underwater while other does SSH on side of pool. When partner comes up for air have to do a burpee.
Repeato 2 times for total of 3 rounds.
Mosey back to AO.
Out of time for Mary but great cardio and all around effort!
Reflection: Jer 3:15
Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding.
We have shepherds we look up to and follow in life, both spiritual and professional. Also know we are shepherds to our families and community; people look up to us and see we have characteristics that they want to emulate or follow- thus we must embrace that responsibility and honor – use that to motivate ourselves to push through adversity and our own pitfalls.
Moleskin:
-Anvil -speedo- enough said.
-Cheetah sang along to every hard rock song and showed no slow effects from a 5K and buoy swim the hour prior!
-Mulligan was a great partner, our strongest swimmer and made most of the underwater exercises look like cake.
-Einhorn came to run and break out his new kicks but we convinced him to join in on the pool fun! After the first exercise, he surfaced and apologized for leaving a strand of his DNA on the pool floor. (HOA notified).
-Hefty showed up when he heard it was a pool day, great to see our fearless leader from down south!
