Four pax answered the call to test their gladiator skills in The Village’s GaGa Ball pit this morning.  We started with a quick beatdown to get us ready.

Warmup

Mosey to the back roundabout.

• Windmill x12
• SSH x20 (pax were in perfect cadence, rivaling the Mint Hill pax’s performance yesterday)
• Merkins x10
• Air Squats x20
• Mountain Climbers x15

Mosey to the front entrance

• LBC x30
• Oblique Crunch x20, repeato other side.
• J-Lo x15

Mosey to the short bus lot and run two laps, grab the ball from YHC’s truck and mosey to the GaGa Ball pit.

The Thang

30 minutes of GaGa Ball.  Never heard of GaGa Ball? Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgjAUlBtoWs

Rules:

• Players start up against the wall.  Play starts after the ball bounces three times, Ga…Ga…Ball…Go!
• If the ball hits you below the waist, you are out.
• If the ball goes out of the pit and you are the last to touch it, you are out.
• If you double tap the ball, you are out.
• Last man in the pit wins.
• F3 rule: Men who are out must perform an exercise determined by the last winner while they wait for the next game to start.

Moleskine

1. Brutus’ strategy was to bounce the ball off of Baby Face on its way out-of-bounds.
2. Baby Face preferred trickery and misdirection to knock out his targets.
3. Dr Doolittle just kept jumping higher and higher to draw an out-of-bounds hit.
4. YHC just tried to survive, but managed to pull off a double play against Brutus and Baby Face.
5. This was a blast and I can’t wait until next time.  We’ll have to come up with a lighting solution for the darker months, though.
6. Next Up: Pain Academy, 0530 at Bain Elementary in Mint Hill.  Blue Crush has plans to crush you!

Peace,
