Preamble:
No HCs given to my well crafted pre-blast (one SC). The PAX were clearly trying to play it hard to get, not understanding we need to be vulnerable and put ourselves out there. Yes, we might get hurt, but it will be worth it. So much to teach them!Warm-O-Rama:
A full disclaimer was given to the FNG ahead of time, and a crappy one was given to the veteran PAX. I needed the time. We moseyed in the parking lot and included Ass Kickers and High Knees. Circle up for some SSH, Moroccan Night Clubs, Windmills and Toy Soldiers.The Thang:
We had a busy lesson plan today, and it's important to begin with the right mindset. Therefore we started with some meditations. PAX were instructed to think about the things the like in life, and how their spouse is more important than all of them. The chosen pose for this meditation was Plank, the music was "Me Gustas Tu" and there's a Merkin involved for each 'Me Gusta' in the song (54, if I recall correctly). Next we moseyed to the left field, to practice writing love letters. And what better than drawing our love a Heart, while Bear Crawling in the field. The size of the heart was up to mid field. If a PAX was tired of bear crawling then flip over, do 20 LBCs and then resume. Our next two lessons were done in the right field (we didn't want to draw over the hearts, of course). First lesson was - being sexy starts by believing you're sexy, despite what you think the mirror is trying to tell you. It's a mindset thing. To think sexy we did the Big Sexy - 40 Pickle Pointers, 40 Pickle Pounders and 40 Monkey Humpers. Added bonus - partner up and practice staring deeply into your partner's eyes. I don't think anyone strove for those bonus points, a shame. Women liked to be chased after, and that requires some stamina.- So we sprinted to the mid field, moseyed to the end, sprinted back to mid field and moseyed back to the starting line.
- Of course chasing her one time is not enough, so we need to do it again, but we also needed to assert dominance. Therefore this time - after the first sprint/mosey - we stopped at the other line for 40 full Sumo Squats (full = lift left leg and bring it down, squat, lift right leg and bring it down, squat. That's '2', cause we did it single counts). Then sprint/mosey back to starting line.
- Asserting dominance can cause our women to be upset, so we need to find the balance between groveling and standing firm. This means Burpees! Sprint/mosey, 20 Burpees and sprint/mosey back.
