foggy tour de big ball

THE SCENE: I guess it didn’t feel as cold as it was… foggy and a little ice
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER Yup, took care of the important stuff
WARM-O-RAMA:
We warmed up with a slow mosey in the direction of the amphitheater. Every 15-20 seconds we stopped and alternated between 5 merkins and 5 air squats.
THA-THANG:
The mosey continued to the rock pile adjacent to Neyland dr. We continued our alternating merkins and squats about every 15-20 seconds.

at the Rock pile we took a few minutes to do some static stretching and then were lead in a chorus of “Flower” by Moby while holding a friendly coupon.

We finished our time at the rock pile with 20 curls and 20 overhead chest presses. We gently put our rocks down and continued our foggy tour along the waterfront. the alternating merkins and squats continued until we reached the pedestrian bridge at volunteer landing. While ascending the steps to the ped. bridge we did our best oompa loompa impression both forward and then backwards.

Once on the ped. bridge we assumed it was save to cross but quickly realized that our alternating lunges were a little risk on the ice covered bridge. we safely crossed to the other side and approached the dreaded Walnut.

At the bottom of Walnut we thought it would be a good idea to “basket ball shuffle” to the top of the hill. This was such a great idea, we walked back to the bottom and shuffled back to the top facing the other direction to balance our now aching quads and hips out.

Now at the top, unable to feel out legs, we continued our Mosey back to the AO, stopping every 15-20 seconds for our alternating 5 merkins and 5 squats. We arrived back at the AO promptly at 6:15… thank goodness, because if we had time for Mary, we would have tired a new exercise = The Wolverine! We will save that for later…

MARY:
ran out of time
