The making of happy clowns


Everyone knows that sad clowns are only happy when they are in the circus ring (and birthday parties but that is creepy), so early today twelve sad clowns joined YHC in the cold gloom for some circus training. Temperatures at launch had soared up 50% over Saturday’s workout at The Glen, almost balmy if you are Siberian, which some circus performers are of course.

 

Warm-a-rama;

Circle the flag for pledge led by the honorable Lear.

Circle up in AO start point- SSH x 15, IST x 15, Windmills x 10, Cotton Picker x 10 all in cadence, 5 burpees OYO

Moleskin:

  • The cirque du soleil workout I found via YouTube recommendation due to my phone listening to my thoughts. I must have forgot my tinfoil hat on Saturday and overlord Alphabet, Inc (may he live forever!) read my thoughts as I stewed over what to do for a  workout. I only used a small snippet of the workout as those dudes are in crazy shape. If you want the whole thing, here you go https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b1K0BdjnNks. The thought was that it would be a great core workout but my shoulders were smoked by the end, same for others?
