A Pax of 6 arrived at the Uptowner for a morning of exercise without running. The usual disclaimer and off we go. The plan for today was Tabata with 60 seconds of exercise, and 10 seconds of rest. As it turns out, 60 seconds of exercise is harder than I thought.

Warm-up COP:
SSH x 20 IC
Imperial Walkers x 20 IC
Peter Parkers x 20 IC
Low Slow Squats x 20 IC
Windmills x 10 IC
Arm Circles 20 Forward, 20 Backward
Mountain Climbers x 20 IC

We mosey 20 feet for the first Tabata:
Merkins for 60 seconds, focus on form
WWII Sit Ups for 60 seconds
Planks for 60 seconds
Squats for 60 seconds
3 rounds total

Grab a rock, a big rock
Chest press for 60 seconds. At this point, I conceded that 60 seconds is a long time. So we went back to In Cadence.
Curls x 10 IC
Rows x 10 IC
Repeat for 3 rounds.

Circle up for some Mary.
LBC’s x 20 IC
Flutter Kicks x 20 IC
American Hammer x 20 IC
Crunchy Frogs x 20 IC
Dying Cockroach x 20 IC
Box Cutters x 20 IC

We returned our rocks, and had just enough time for more exercise with a smaller rock.
Biceps curls into shoulder press x 20 IC.

Final circle for count-off, name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and a prayer. Thank you for letting me lead.
