AOQ’s Notes…
*Tempo Merkin is a single slow Merkin happening in a 4 count. 1-3 lowering. Top of the Merkin on 4.

*Knoxville Cherry Picker is a little funny. Other regions call it 3rd grade exercise, tappy-taps, or grass grabbers. It’s a forward fold with feet spread, touching the ground with finger tips 3 times successively further between the legs for 1-3. At 4, PAX stand straight up and stretch hip flexors.

*Hallelujahs are a shoulder burn exercise. Hands up at ear level. Raise up to full extension I cadence. 1 up, 2 down, 3 up, 4 down.

*Samson Holds – I think he got this out of order. We usually do these at the end of a long series of shoulder burn. Arms extended straight out like your pushing against two pillars (hence). Hold until Q has sufficient amount of complaints.

*Air Bikes are because Cardinal couldn’t ever remember Freddie Mercury.
