  • Mosey around the parking lot
  • SSH, IST, Toy Soldier, long snapper (all x10 IC), and arm circles.

The Thang: Grabbing blocks we made our way to the turf fields and lined up across the end line.  The plan was simple, each PAX picked a numbered ball, we did the three corresponding exercises (1 ‘mercian exercise, one block exercise, one mary exercise) then we ran to midline, jump squats and back. The repeatoed until all the balls were gone.  Here were the excercises:

Mary:

After a nice stretch we Finished off with one final ‘Merican excercise, slow deep ‘Mericans with the Pax taking turns counting each cadence.  Some went fast, some went slow, we all got stronger.

Moleskin:

1- was a great morning, beautiful cool weather, doesn’t get any better.

2- the fields were a little wet. YHC used the PAX to soak some of the water up. Between LBCs, Suzanne Summers and hand release Mericans we were pretty thorough.

3- the PAX gave Gambini some very inclusive campaign slogan suggestions to reach a very big demographic.

4- shout out to Something for bringing an FMG. Hopefully YHC didn’t scare him off.
