It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas…..

15 of Harrisburg’s strongest men braved the frigid “Christmas-like” temps (YHC saw 34⁰F on his iPhone) to better themselves and make them stronger.  Many came dressed in layers that were soon shed.  They now realized why a hearty few wore shorts – point noted for future frozen posts.

Since it felt a lot like Christmas, YHC celebrated the day with a Christmas Tree Style beatdown.  It went something like this…

The Thang
Weave through the parking lot near the stadium – High Knees/Butt Kickers, finish mosey in front of the High School entrance…Circle – up (x denotes cadence)
SSH x15
IST x15
Windmill x10

Mosey down the sidewalk to the back of the school, go into the center section and everyone find a  Picnic Table for a little Christmas Tree Beatdown.
