We got lucky with today’s beatdown:

• A torrential storm rolled over Adventure Park a short time after we finished.
• We had a good turnout. Most of the Pax plan to fartsack later in the week as the temperature drops.
• Pudge was on hand to give us an official thumbs-up or thumbs-down on whether each exercise was good for us.

Today’s beatdown was 1 minute of an exercise, followed by a 10 second rest.

We started with 1 minute each of side-straddle hops, Strawberry pickers, LBCs, high knees, merkins and a run around the parking lot.

We then moved into a series of other exercises, including a lot of boxing moves. This led to a long discussion of the Tyson-Roy Jones fight, including the question, “Would you rather fight Mike Tyson for 12 rounds, or speak in his voice for a lifetime?”

Towards the end of the beatdown, the PAX took turns to call out exercise choices. Goob picked a yoga exercise and that quickly became the pattern for several more exercises. Apparently, our PAX have no problem doing murder bunnies but have a hard time simply standing on one leg.
