Feeling lighter after his morning…uh…run, Wexler joined us to make five for this week’s edition of Warrior One. We expected it to be six at roughly 0533, but alas, Helga didn’t make it.

Not overly creative, but hit the spots I needed the most (one of the many advantages of leading a workout)

High knees
Butt kickers
Ball kicks
Triceps stretches
Shoulder stretches
Flat back, let the arms hang, then slowly back…repeat a few times
Plank position, down to 1″ off the ground, hold for a few seconds, then slowly back up…repeat a few times
Downward dog, slide through to upward dog…repeat
Back to plank, down to 1″ off the ground, hold for a few seconds, then slowly back up
Down on one knee, lean forward to stretch the hip flexors…repeat 3x…then slowly lunge up and lift the knee to your chest 5x; still kneeling, opposite leg out to the side, lean to that side to stretch the opposite hip; repeat sequence on the other side
Back to plank, down to 1″ off the ground, hold for a few seconds, then slowly back up…repeat a few times
(at this point, the Artist Formally Known as Ti85 catches on: “wait a minute, you’re just making us do push-ups!”)
Cat/Cow stretches
On your six, legs straight out, stretch the hammys
Feet together, alternating between stretch and resistance
On your back, pull knee to opposite shoulder, alternating between stretch and resistance
Eye of the Needle Sequence
On your stomach for Supermans
Plank/secret push-up/downward dog/upward dog sequence a few more times
With a few minutes left, Clueless took us through a couple more hip stretches

1. Thanks for joining me and thanks to Clueless and Sid Vicious for the past encouragement to try Warrior One and help leading.

2. Nothing gets by Scooter. Nothing.

3. Tclaps to the prerunners.

4. Always some good laughs during Warrior One, and not just from watching YCH try to balance. Today’s came in the form of Revenge of the Nerds quotes. (Banjo Boy may have to look that one up on the googles)

5. Enjoyed hearing about yesterday’s Spartan practice as well. If they’d only move the spear throw line 10 feet closer, Wexler would be golden. I was in Atlanta at the time, but I believe I heard Tar Tar yelling from there.
