Introduction
Pre Blast: Two Wolves 5/4/23 5:15 am MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU
“Star Wars… nothing but Star Wars. Give me those Star Wars… don’t let them end…” If you are as old as I am, you may remember that song. Tomorrow is the Hallmark holiday celebrating all things Star Wars. The workout will be Star Wars-themed, bring your coupon. The music will be Star Wars themed (free version of Amazon Music inserts all kinds of crazy stuff into my playlist). Sweat you will. Have fun you will. In Thread, HC you must.
The Scene: Two Wolves was the only AO open for my annual Star Wars workout. I’ll have to jump on this sooner next year if I want to be closer to home. Woke up on time at 4am. Made it to the AO by 4:50am. Stay Puft was already running around like a crazy person yelling, “Star Wars!” This should be fun.

I am not a professional. You are here of your own free will. I have no knowledge of any injuries or fitness considerations. It is your responsibility to be safe and modify exercises as needed.
In cadence (IC) is the rhythm in between each rep or the body movement between each rep.
Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership. Our credo is to leave no man behind and leave no man where you found him.

The Thang
THANG 1 Battle of Hoth
I set up light up pucks at two ends of the parking lot. Split pax into 2 groups at each end of the parking lot. One group begins lunge walking with coupons. They are the AT-AT’s. The other group runs toward another pax (they are the snow speeders). Once they reach a pax, they drop and bear crawl around them twice, run to the other side and back. Repeat until the walkers reach the other side. Switch teams and repeat.
THANG 2 Imperial March
Kept the pax split into two groups going around the path and then up the stairs. Last guy does 5 burpees, catches up to the last guy, taps on shoulder for him to do 5 burpees and continues to the front of the line. Keep going until every pax has done at least one set of burpees. Finish at the top of the hill (aka The High Ground)
THANG 3 Speeder Chase/Trench Run
Pax will weave in between each other as they chase each other down the hill path. I had two groups for this as well, a front group and a back group. Once everyone had made it through the line we headed back to the coupons.
THANG 4 Tusken Raiders
For this one, the pax must be in one line. Single file line (to hide your numbers). First person in line walks while doing 10 shoulder presses (like raising a gaffi stick) while the rest of the pax does a bantha (bear) crawl. When done with shoulder presses, pax passes the coupon to the next person and goes to the back of the line.

Prayers
Lord, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to know the difference.
Naked Man Moleskin
YHC has been dealing with something very personal. You had to be there as it is not something I wish to publish. May the Force be with You.
Peace,
Cousin Eddie
