YHC was inspired by Wojo’s Q on Arise, a so-called STAR BLIMPS. It is easy at first, but rapidly gets harder as the reps double, triple, and quadruple. Also YHC was mindful that the PAX will stick together only if there is fellowship, something that the 1st F can not completely fill. I thought there must be some ways to get the PAX get to know each other outside the beatdown.

Everyone, including QIC finished Set 3, some have started Set 4 when QIC called Omaha. QIC’s legs are now numb!

Now for the competition, run back in team of 4 to shovel flag, pick up a card at each station, do the exercise. Have to stick together. The exercises were rigged so that the first team there does more reps, but my Sugar Ray CJ took the charge while QIC and Ozone were behind.

Station 1 at the round intersection where we normally do warmups: crab cakes

Station 2 at the corner of the building: swimmers

First to touch shovel flag is winner, and they win a $20 gift card to Chik-fil-a, but they have to go to breakfast/lunch/dinner together. Team Wojo won, composed of the honorable Tweezers, Wojo, Slumlord, and Snowflake?

MOM:

Plank/left arm up/right arm up, 6inches, then reverse plank/left leg up/right leg up.
