48 pax including one FNG (Goldfish) joined the fun lead by Xerox and Everest this morning starting at the Children’s Museum. I am told there was a lot of mumble chatter but an advantage of getting old is that you can’t hear so well so YHC didn’t hear anything. We all moseyed down to the parking lot across from the train station for a warm-o-rama:

Warm-o-Rama:

Side straddle hop x25 IC

Imperial squat walkers x 20 IC and yes, this is a real exercise…

Windmills x 25 IC (sort of)

Sun gods x 15 IC each direction

Chinooks x 15 IC each direction

Peter Parkers x 20 IC

Then we split into two groups. Xerox leading a group to corner of Church and Friendly and Everest leading a group to corner of Church and Market. There were 8 corners of pain, going along Friendly and stopping at Davie, Elm, Greene – then over to Market and back down stopping at Elm, Davie, and Church. The idea was to move through the exercises quickly and keep moving. Most people made it through one cycle. The stations looked something like this:
