6 dudes got together at the Highland Creek golf course parking lot enjoying incredible weather in mid 70s with cool breeze while remaining under the shade. Yes @powerball, 5:30 PM beatdown was dry again!  YHC brought the JBL speaker with fine tunes from 80s rock that left some of the PAX guessing the name of the bands.  The white board also left some of the PAX guessing what was about to hit them.  A full disclaimer was given and we moseyed around the parking lot with some carioca until we circled up for warmarama.

WARMARAMA

• Mummy IC X19
• Skiers IC X15
• Heisman IC X12
• Weed Picker IC X10
• Frankenstein IC X10

THE THANG – PLAYING CARDS

With 80’s music blasting in parking lot, YHC used a deck of cards to call the exercises and number of reps which corresponded to the cards.  For cards 2 to 10, the number on the card equals the number of reps for that particular exercises.  The exercises were divided in suits;

• Clubs = Cricket Climbers aka Parker Peter
• Diamonds = Diamond Merkins
• Hearts = Jump Knee Tuck or High Knees(2 = 1)
• Spades = Squats

For face cards, the number of reps are as follow;

• Jacks = 11 reps
• Queens = 12 reps
• Kings = 13 reps
• Ace = 15 reps

Jokers = 25 Burpees

Examples

• Jack of heart equals 11 Jump knee tuck
• ace of spade equals 15 squats
• 5 of clubs equals 5 cricket climbers
• queen of diamonds equals 12 diamond merkins

The PAX didn’t like the Joker and 25 burpees which followed by short mosey to catch our breath.  We also paused for short water break.  For the next joker, the PAX requested an audible so YHC lowered number of reps to 20 and changed full burpee to half burpee. The PAX were ready to carry YHC on their shoulders.  LOL

We completed the full deck and since we had time left, each PAX got to tell YHC to cut the deck to see which card they would land.  Fortunately for us, the Jokers didn’t make it.  At 5:10, time was called for MARRY.

MARRY – Stretches

• Right leg over left and lean forward trying to touch tip of fingers to the ground. Hold for 20 seconds then flap jack
• Bring right arm across the chest while pulling with your left arm.  Hold for 10 seconds than bring right arm next to ear and pull back with left arm. Then flap jack.
• Extend right leg while keeping left leg slightly bent.  Reach for the toes on right foot and hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Then flap jack.
• On our six, right leg is extended while left foot crosses over right leg.  Then right elbow pushes against left knee while looking back. We then put left elbow against left knee and looked back.  We then flap jack
