To “Boogie Shoes” by KC & the Sunshine Band

– SSH to the beat; do a burpee every time the phrase “boogie shoes” is mentioned in the song. – Abe Vigodas w simultaneous Arm Circles (follow the leader) – Michael Phelps OYO

The Thang:

Rotating HooverBall + Spittoon

PAX was divided into 3 similarly sized Teams:

Team A: 5 PAX
Team B: 5 PAX
Team C: 6 PAX

The teams cycled through 3 stations as disco music filled the morning air.

Two teams started w/ playing modified HooverBall:

– Used 7 lb leather medicine ball & regulation volleyball net
– Toss HooverBall over the net; PAX must catch & immediately return on the fly. (No “setting” or passing to teammate.) – No scoring; goal was to keep rallys going as long as possible. – Each time a PAX throws the HooverBall, they must drop & do 2 burpees. – PAX cannot handle the ball twice in a row for their team.
– PAX responsible for the rally ending must mosey over to the Workshop & back before rejoining the game.

Meanwhile, the 3rd Team completed the following exercises:

– Manrise up to the top of Hoffa
– Mosey back down; plank for the 6.

The 3rd Team then completes the following exercises in sequence, spittoon style:

– Coupon Thrusters: 125 total for Teams A & B; 150 total for Team C – Big Boy Sit Ups: 250 total for Teams A & B; 300 total for Team C. – Merkins: 375 total for Teams A & B; 450 total for Team C.

Once completed, all 3 teams rotate to a new station: The 3rd Team cycles into the HooverBall game, the team on side 1 of the HooverBall court cycles to side 2, and the team on side 2 of the HooverBall court cycles into the Spittoon station.

Each team got at least 1 full Spittoon Station before time was up. One team got stuck w/ a 2nd Spittoon station, so the HooverBall game was stopped early & all PAX from the other two teams joined in to help finish off the Spittoon sequence before circling back to the flag.

Moleskine:

Self-care is not selfish.

COT:

Prayers for wisdom, patience, and grace as we seek to resolve peaceful resolutions to brewing or ongoing conflicts within our communities: family, church congregations, our local community, and our nation.

A moment of silent contemplation followed, concluded with The Serenity Prayer
