11 pax (1 4 legged) posted to the Snakepit to start their mornings off with a bit of sweat and some swole arms. YHC knew it was going to be an interesting morning when pulling into the lot (15 minutes early, Emmy) and Brainiacs 4 legged partner, Rosy, is popping a squat near the shovelflag. Welcome to the pit! The pax showed up with good effort and got their money’s worth.

Next exercise
Indian Bear crawl
Pax line up prone, head to feet on the sideline, on YHC call, assume the high plank.
Last Pax bear crawls from back of the line to the front. When he passes, each pax does a merkin.
YHC originally intended to travel the length of the field, but there was a big of grumbling after the first rotation. It was decided this was a bad idea and it should not have been done, so YHC suggested that we “undo” it. Pax at the head of the line crawl bear back to where he came from, each pax performing a Merkin as he passes, then the next pax crawl back and so on and so forth until we are back at the starting goal line.
Circle up for a Mary:
10 Monkey humpers
20 American Hammers
15 Flutter kicks
