Introduction

Perfect 20 something degrees without any wind.  21 PAX showed up to take a step towards Peak Fitness.  Hopefully they got that and then some!

Warm-O-Rama

The warmup was simple- Terminators (modified to serve as a warm up) until I got tired….errr…until I felt our joints were loosened up. Warmup Terminators: Done in the style of Motivators but with Side Straddle Hops, Squats, Lunges, and Merkins.  We started at 1 and worked our way up to 10.  That loosened us up real nice for The Thang, because when it takes that long you only need one Thang.

The Thang

The Thang: Mosey with coupons to the field south of the baseball fields. The park district has installed 5 new light poles in a straight line. 4 of them are roughly 70 yards apart. The 5th is roughly 100 yards.  This was our playing ground.

PAX partnered up. Partner 1 carried Partner 2 from pole 1 to pole 2.  Partner 2 then ran back to pole 1 and farmer carried the team’s coupons from pole 1 to pole 2.

Partner 1 immediately began army crawling from pole 2 to pole 3. Upon returning to pole 2 with both coupons, Partner 2 began army crawling from pole 2 to pole 3.

Partner 1 reached pole 3 first, ran back to pole 2 and farmer carried the team’s coupons to pole 3.

Upon reaching pole 3 with his army crawl, partner 2 crab walked from pole 3 to pole 4. Partner 1 followed. Partner 2 returned to pole 3 for the coupons.

Upon reaching pole 4, Partner 1 bear crawled from pole 4 to pole 5. Partner 2 followed.  Partner 1 returned to pole 4 for the coupons.

All PAX picked up the 6 until all coupons and PAX were at pole 5.

Then we did it all over again back down to pole 1.

Time crept up on us and we moseyed back to the parking lot with out coupons for Mary.

Mary was a plank series.

Circle of Trust

Prayers were lifted up for twins at Laurie Children’s Hospital, soon to be born babies, family members in the hospital, and many were left unspoken.

CoT asked that we all enjoy the moment and the blessings in our life, it is a magical time of year for many of us.  However we need to be cognoscente that this can be the hardest time of year for those who are or feel alone, have experienced loss, or are otherwise struggling.  I asked that we cherish our moments, and be a positive light for those who are struggling.

A closing prayer thanked God for allowing us the freedom to meet together and exercise, lifted up the spoken and unspoken prayers, and asked God to help us go forward and do his will.

Naked Man Moleskin

The frozen ground felt fantastic during our army crawls. DJ. Dr Ralph’s tunes were outstanding. Dr Ralph was in the Christmas spirit and donated his glasses to the field somewhere.  Many PAX swore they would never look at that field the same way again.
