12 Days of Beatdown, I mean Christmas

When : 01.01.2022

Where : Atlantis (Medal of Honor Park)

Conditions : 73 with a breeze to come after the workout.

QIC : Moist

PAX : Buckner, Wallstreet, Sludge (R×2), Moist (R×1), Coach O (visiting from SC), Huckleberry and Fortnite (visiting from AR)

After grabbing coupons, provided graciously by Sludge, we took a walk to the site of gift giving.

The Thang : After running short on time for a personal Christmas Day workout with Mommas Boy, who lost out to the fartsack today, QIC decided his 12 gifts of beatdown were to be distributed for a late Christmas gift to the PAX. Not one to be much on the song, The 12 days of Christmas, it only seemed fitting to start off the new year with a challenge to his frustration.

To the same format of the song, we tackled: 1. Squat thrust w/coupon
2. Boat Canoe w/coupon
3. Forward Lunge w/coupon
4. Incline Merkin no coupon
5. Hernia w/coupon
6. American Hammer w/coupon
7. Ballerinas w/coupon
8. Sweat Angels no coupon
9. Reverse Lunge w/coupon
10. Decline Merkin no coupon
11. Plank Jack no coupon
12. Burpees no coupon

You guessed it, 1, 2&1, 3,2, &1, and so on. As QIC noticed the time, as we approached the midway point, QIC decided to modify. He felt it necessary to make sure all gifts were received and we moved from 6 straight to 12 to get each gift in a final Countdown. With the beatdown space being approximately 1/3 of a mile path of sidewalk, we covered about 2-1/2 miles for the gift giving and receiving. What a glorious way to close the Christmas season a d kick off the New Year.

COT

Announcements : Discussion and invitation to the visiting PAX, to join us on our inaugural 2022 Coffeteria Crawl.

Prayer requests: Safe travels home for visiting PAX and families. Protection and healing for Buckner’s sister who has covid. Gekko’s dad. Moist’s father-in-law.
