On Monday, June 15, we met at Stoner Park, in Manheim Township. There were four participants using the playground as a gym. After a cardio and range of motion w/u, we practiced a few lifting movements, and headed into the Workout Of the Day (WOD). It went as follows:

5 rounds for one minute each of the following movements (rest on the fourth minute):

Straight Leg Sit-ups (no assistance)

Gymnast Rings Jump Pull-ups

Lunges (body weight)

Rest 1 min

Everyone was sweating before we even got started, but I think the grunting started in the second round. After that, the distant stares began, and the the questioning of, "how many more rounds?". In the last round, legs, arms and everything else were shaking and fully worked over. I think everyone was quite pleased with torching themselves in a workout lasting only 20 minutes!

We got first timers and experienced lifters side-by-side, both feeling the effects of pushing themselves toward the goal. Great job guys, and gals!! Keep up the drive and determination!
