Pre-blast: Posted on Slack, mostly about the playlist, which would consist of songs with numbers in the titles.  The playlist was closed; no requests taken (this time).

Warm up: Mosey around traffic circle with nur, high knees, butt kickers, care-ee-yoh-kee and back to the green carpet grass.  Michael Phelps, Agitators, SSH, strawberry perkins and merkins.

The Thang: Repeat of YHC’s 16-NOV-2022 “Abs with Abba”: Ab focused tabata beatdown.  Pax were instructed to plank while instructions were given.  5 sets of 6 exercises @ 50 seconds on / 10 seconds off.  After each set of 6 exercises, YHC advised that a brisk paced 2 minute 30 second run would be completed before the next set started.  Playlist below.  Pax were encouraged to push as much as possible during the 6 exercise sets, as ab work is not necessarily cardiovasculary intense, and that the run would provide a cardio challenge.
