Peter CottonTail and his bag of goodies

by | Apr 16, 2017 | Houston, The Hogg

PAX guru Duggar came up with the idea of an Easter Egg hunt for this workout. After thanking Duggar for the “Great Idea” my feeble old mind went to work (which means I got stuck). The “M” to the rescue> Raid the grandkids toy chest and everything you need is in there. Bunny ears, plastic Easter Eggs and a paper Easter Bag. I filled the eggs with exercises and decided this was a good morning for some impromptu “Q” training. Let the Mumblechatter begin.  The PAX ran around The Hogg led by YHC Peter Cotton Tail. Many a bystander stopped and stared at us, especially doing Monkey Humpers along the jogging trail led by an old man (RR) with Bunny Ears.  Surprise guest appearance by our good friend “The Bishop” whose name was raised up in TAP’s at the 6-7 w/o. Great to see him this morning, it lifted everyone up.

8 PAX rolled out of the fartsack for some early Easter goodies. Let the fun begin.

 #Disclaimer

YHC is not a professional, pretty easy to tell wearing Bunny Ears. This is a free workout, you’re here of your own free will. Push yourself, but don’t hurt yourself (especially laughing at the guy in the Bunny Ears).  If you have a medical condition let someone know. Let’s Mosey.

Following Warmup, the PAX moseyed over to the pool/playground area for a Semi-Circle of Pain. Each PAX came over to the Peter Cotton Tails bag of goodies, opened the egg and led the PAX in the next exercise. Eggs, chosen at random, Q could modify the count or the cadence to his choosing.
