Mosey back to COP-
During Mass, Catholics do a lot of kneeling, sitting and standing, hence…
- Jack Webbs x 12 (there were 12 Apostles, right Rev?)
- Air Chairs with Overhead and Forward Claps x 10 (Rinse and Repeat)
YHC received significant feedback during this second trip to the COP.
Holy Rosary– Despite common belief, Catholics do not pray to Mary, but we do ask for her intercession. The Rosary is one way for us to see the life of Christ through his mother’s eyes. This exercises is a modified version of the Lucky Horse Shoe.
PAX partner up. Run 5 Laps around the field. At the end of each lap, PAX performs the following exercises:
- 1 Burpee (for Our Father)
- 10 Hail Mary’s at picnic tables
- P1 in plank position
- P2 performs dips with hands on bench and feet on P1
- Then switch
- 1 Jump Squat (for the Glory Be)
Time ran out following third “decade” of the Holy Rosary, much to the delight of most.
