Another Saturday, and another Pantene Experience.  The Pax was a total of 12.  Gave the usual disclaimer and headed out to do the warmup.  Included:  20 Side Straddle Hops, 20 Windmills, 30 HIp Extensions,  20 LBC’s. 30 Hip Extensions, 15 Knees to Elbows (River Dance style), 15 Merkins, and 15 Dolly Partons.    After the warmup it was time to play “The Winkie Says”….as my printed workout list was full of fun and excitement.

The workout:  My usual favorite starting point: the soccer field.  Consulted the Winkie:  Started with 15 Bobby Hurley’s on the one side of the lawn, followed by lunges all the way (yes, ALL the way to the other side).  Once on the other side, 15 Decline Merkins on the benches.  Repeat with 3 times over and 3 times back across the lawn.  After some groaning from the Pax, and realizing I was killing my legs, we all decided to make it a backwards run across the lawn on the last 2 sets.  Good choice.

Mosey to another favorite spot: The hill.  3rd Day informed me at this time that my workouts were a little predictable.  That was really nice.  What was in store from the Winkie?  Instructed all to grab a coupon and line up at the bottom of the hill.  Started with 10 of my “1-2-3-4 Squats (since I can’t think of another name) and then some nice Quadrifilia to the top of the hill.  Once at the top, 10 Air Squats.  Repeat cycle 4 times.  Next:  Use the coupon for 15 Over-head Presses, then lunge to the top of the hill, with 15 Air Squats at the top.  Repeat cycle 4 times.  Next: 10 Jump Lunges, followed by a Bear Crawl to the top of the hill, with 10 Air Squats, again with a cycle of 4.   Last, 15 Bicep Curls with the coupon, with a lunge to the top of the hill, with 15 Air Squats, repeat cycle 4 times.  Predictable?  Perhaps.

Mosey to the tennis courts to round out the workout. Winkie says:  Everyone to line up on the one side, start with 10 Carolina Dry Docks, then a side run to the center, 20 LBC’s in the center, side run to the other side, followed by 10 Lateral Merkins.  Run back to the other end of the court.  Repeat cycle 3 times.  And that concluded the full body workout experience.

Mosey back to the flags.  Name-o-Rama, naming of the FNG:  Frosty.  Announcements included Morrow Mountain excursion for next week.  Then rounded it all out with possibly my most awkward prayer ever.

As always, good times.
