A solid PAX of twenty on this cold morning with snow and ice still everywhere. There were no FNGs crazy enough to debut today. We began with the typical disclaimer and then Lynda added that by the fact that you showed up in these conditions, you were at risk.
Slow mosey across the parking lot to a snow covered field with two light poles at least 50 yards apart.
Warm-a-rama
- Jog down and back between two light poles X 2
- SSH x 50 (Go panthers!)
- Windmill x 20
- Hillbillys x 20
- Sun Gods x 20
- Reverse X 20
Extra warm up
Lunge from one light pole to other. After every ten steps, do one 3D Merkin* and continue lunging. About halfway through, the novelty and excitement of working out in the snow began to fade, as did the mumble chatter.
*3D Merkin is a sequence of one wide merkin, one standard merkin followed by a diamond grip merkin)
The Thang
Partner Up
One partner runs between light poles and back while other does exercises and then switch. The goal was to do as many as you can, but with no minimum number in mind, concentrating on form. Keep going until time is called.

Snookie took us out.
Moleskin
It was an honor to lead all these incredible men this morning. Is anyone else having trouble walking? Oh yeah and RECOVER!
*3D Merkins and Granny sit-ups were courtesy of a Charlotte workout I attended over Thanksgiving at AG Middle School — the original site. I hope you enjoyed them.
