Warm-O-Rama
Did some Michael Phelps as guys finished arriving. Then, we did a low plank while doing our count-a-roma , then did high plank while doing name-a-roma. Moseyed to far tennis court parking lot to continue warmup with SSH in cadence doing 21’s ( we failed—added 7 merkins as punishment); did Grass Grabbers (10) in cadence; then successfully completed SSH 21’s. We continued to mosey to the VB shelter close to the pool. There we finished warmup with some arm and shoulder stretches, plus Frankensteins, pigeon pulls, high knees, butt kickers.

Tha Thang
You choose:
1) pull-ups, chin-ups or chin hangs (1 rep)
2) select one of seven Ab exercises, one of seven chest/shoulder exercises, one of seven jumps, and one of seven leg exercises—did 5 reps of each.
3) moseyed/ran to one of four distances approximately 50yds, 100yds, 150 yds or 200 yds and back to the VB shelter.
4) tractor tire flips (1 rep).
Repeat the cycle adding one additional rep up to seven for pull-ups; choose another Ab, chest, jump and leg exercise adding 5 more reps for each; mosey or run your selected distance; then add another rep to the tire flips.
Most of us finished all 7 cycles. Then, we moseyed returning back to home parking lot.

Did count-a-roma and name-a-roma. I closed by reiterating the name of the workout. Just like we had free will to choose our run (distance) and our fun (exercises and their order/reps)…in life we get to choose our path and our actions/attitudes/etc. Many times we take short cuts, cheat ourselves and others (we are sinners) so we need a Savior. Read Isaiah 53:6 as a reminder of what we have in Christ.

It was great to have our brother Raquel back for a visit from North Carolina!
