15 formidable arrived for their weekly geriatric workout consisting of light calisthenics and memories of Esther Williams in a one-piece bathing suit. This is what transpired…more or less
COP: A Brandermill Woods-worthy warmup
Repeats: Donkey kicks, bear crawls, run out and back (backwards)
Tennis Courts: Suicides mixed with Jump squats. Second round: bear crawl, crawl bear, crab walk, polar bears
Track: Groups of 3. On one side, partner does LBC’s, on other side, partner does HR Merkins. Third partner is the push…runs half the length of the track to tag-up with partner. Finish at 200 HR Merkins total
Field: Run out and back(wards). Exercises included Mountain Climbers (100) and HR Merkins (25).
Finish with 5 minutes of Mary/Gerry
NMS: Too busy to hear the mumble chatter, but did hear one say “this does not feel like a geriatric workout”….YHC will try better next time

Great work today fellas. Thanks for putting up with my usual nonsense.
Perfect level of nonsense this morning Saab. I especially enjoyed all the SSHs.
I still do not understand what Esther Williams has to do with flutterkicks
You see she was a swimmer, and an actress. Plus, according to Saab, she sold pools on the side.
Makes perfect sense now. Thanks for clarifying Splinter
Many thanks to Splinter for explaining what I view as common knowledge in the geriatric community…and for posting the c. 1950s picture of Esther….which was probably considered pg-13 at the time…
