On this day, the PAX was 9 men who came out to endure the Pantene Show.  Started out with the disclaimers.  Mosey over to the field of dreams to do a warmup.   Warmup included: 20 Side Straddle Hops, 15 Windmills, 15 Chest Squeezes, 20 Mountain Climbers, and 15 LBC’s.

The Workout:

While in the Field of Dreams:  The instruction:  Pax to line up and prepare to head to the other end of the field.  First, do 15 Merkins, followed by lunges half way across the field, followed by running backward the remainder of the field.  15 Merkins on the other side of field.  Rinse and repeat, 3 times total.

Mosey to the handball court. The instruction: People’s Chair with 25 Air Presses.  Next: Feet on the wall doing declined Merkins for a 10 count.  Followed by People’s chair and more declined ‘off the wall” Merkins.  Rinse and repeat 3 times, with an increase on the declined Merkins (15 count followed by an attempted 20 count).

Mosey to “Coupon Hill.”  The instruction:  Everyone grab a rock (aka coupon): 20 biceps curls with coupon, followed by the dreaded walk backward up the hill.  Rinse and repeat 5 times.  Next: 15 Lateral Merkins, followed by lunges up the hill.  Rinse and repeat 5 times. I may or may not have modified my 15 Lateral Merkins.  We’ll leave that a mystery

Mosey to the picnic benches.  The instruction: Pair off in 2’s, one starts with step-ups on the bench while the other runs around the park.  Next, 15 LBC’s while the other runs.  Next, 15 air squats while the other runs.  Wrapped up with 20 LBC’s and 15 shoulder tap Merkins to round out the workout.

Mosey back to the parking lot.  Announcements, followed by the count of PAX, followed by the prayer.

It was again my pleasure leading the group today. Thank you for tolerating my weird goofball behavior for a full hour.  That in itself is challenging.   Good times, guys….good times!
