WARMUP: Following a warm-up that was truly designed to get the PAX warm, we headed to the frozen tundra adjacent to Carson Hall.
THE THANG: The PAX were instructed there were cones in the shame of a star and they would do 10-reps at each of the 5 points and do 3 burpees in the middle. That was later to changed to 1 burpee after the first set of exercises, which were the following:

  • Merkins
  • Squats
  • WWII
  • Carolina Dry Docks
  • Rosalitas
  • Lt. Dans
  • Hand Release Merkins
  • Bobby Hurley’s
  • XOs


The number of PAX didn’t equal the core temperature, but we did beat the “Real Feel”. Total PAX for the day did exceed temperature.

ANNOUNCEMENTS/COT: Lunch Thingamabob (Ariel), Dec 19; Holiday Workout Hours.
Prayers for GreenThumb and his family as hospice has been called in for his Dad; for job situations and for Little D’s wife and her cataract surgery and recovery. Praise for Goldfish for new job.

Thank you for allowing me to lead!!
