Yule, as in log. Not that I have a Log . . .

THE SCENE: 40s and trying real hard not to rain.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER  Nope, still not a professional
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 30; BAC; Squats x 25ish.

High knees from one side of parking lot to other, mosey back.  Then butt kickers, then karaoke.

THA-THANG:
Introductions are made with the Asylum Yule Log aka Santa’s Sleigh.

4 reindeer pull the sleigh from one end of narrow parking lot to other and back while the elves work in the shop doing Manmakers, LBCs, Narrow Squats and flutter kicks  Trade off until everybody has done one round of each exercise and pulled the sleigh at once.

Mosey around back with yule log in tow.  Volunteers switch out.  Start with 4 pulling the sleigh.  Switch to 3 after one harness breaks.  During switches, do some form of exercise.  Wait a bit while the Q hits the ground after getting tangled with the sleigh.

At the back parking lot, do the following exercises, followed by full out sprint across parking lot, followed by 10 second rest and slow mosey back to start.  Repeat with different exercise.  Each round consists of:

  • Burpees x 10- sprint- slow mosey back
  • Merkins x 20 – sprint – slow mosey back
  • Smurfjacks x 30 – sprint – slow mosey back
  • Lunges x 40 – sprint – slow mosey back
  • Reverse back down to Burpees
  • Modified Dora:  4 teams of 3.  Each team provides one reindeer to pull sleigh across the parking lot while the other two on the team are doing exercises.  Keep switching out until done with:
    • 300 Merkins
    • 200 BBS
    • 100 Burpees
  • Mosey with sleigh back to AO for 100 count shoulder shredder

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Happiness does not come from the absence of struggle.  It comes from the ability to deal with struggle.  We all struggle.  It is easier to overcome if you have help.  Who can we help overcome their struggles?  Who can we help find happiness?
