    Mosey around the pond and to the tennis courts.

    The Thang

    PAX line up on the line with arms stretched and finger to finger. Side Straddle Hop in Cadence and first PAX runs to the other end, then next Pax follows and so on until you make your way around the court. Next was Big Boy Situps and Bear Crawl transitions and finally Squats with Lunges.

    Now that we had worked lower body, it was time for upper body. Mosey around the pond stopping at each swing to do a variation of Merkin (IC).

    • S.taggered Merkin – 7 each way

    Moleskine:

    • Everyone was so miserable doing the merkins I don’t think they realized that we were spelling Musket with the merkins.
