Release the Kraken

What a fun morning we all had at the BattleGround, AO for today. While raising the mythical beast, the Kraken sounds intimidating we raised it to Motown beats. Old school music is always fun to listen to, even if you are getting a loving beat down from the Q- Yachty. PAX paired up today and pushed each other beginning with the mosey to the playground and lasting until the very end. Cookie Monster moseyed with Yachty back to the stage to keep her going. And Elevate and Gypsy were beasts. Not even the 2.0’s would let anyone slack today. Of course everyone had to warm up before The Thang. Now we all know the Kraken resembles an Octopus which has 8 tentacles, but of course Fia Gals go big so we had 9. All PAX had to do 20 of the following exercises, but to add a little spice, once an exercise was complete, we had to take a lap around the circle making sure we included the stage and come back and start the next exercise. Whoo, those stairs up and down the stage though!!!!!!!!! Ok so here is The Thang. Our goal, at least (3) rounds total, and I believe all PAX reached that goal. GO GIRLS!! INDIAN STYLE LBC’S (Abs): LITTLE BABY CRUNCHES, BUT WITH LEGS INDIAN STYLE FLAT ON THE GROUND. ANKLE BITER (OBLIQUES) working on those side wings  we did them standing and PAX could modify as they chose. BOX CUTTERS (Abs) Lay on back, legs lifted 1-2 ft…move legs out, down, in and back up (Love these). JUMP SHOTS (LOWER BODY) SQUAT, PICK UP that IMAGINARY BASKETBALL AND SHOOT A JUMP SHOT (ALTERNATE HANDS). Lunges (Lower Body). Mountain Climbers (Lower Body). Push ups (Upper Body). Tricep Dips using the stage. Use the dumbbell to write your Fia Name. Some found that writing in cursive took a little bit of that pain away, but not much. Three rounds were completed to about 40 minutes of great MOTOWN songs. And wow, just wow!!!!!!!!!!!! The 2.0’s completed the exercises too!!!!!! They were so awesome today. For the grand finale, we did more leg work, which of course included squats to That Girl is on Fire by Alicia Keys. We couldn’t stop there though because Fia challenge was a total of 123 squats today. We reached our goal with Green Thumb counting us to our goal. COT: Prayers lifted for Warrior, hoping she has a speedy and easy recovery from her surgery. Hurricane closed with a prayer, and of course we had to take a picture of all the PAX. They were: Hurricane, Elevate, Gypsy, 757, Sweet Tooth, Ballerina, Captain Camo, Ziggy, Green Thumb, Road Runner, Justice, Slipper, Strike Out Pop Tart, Cookie Monster 1 and Cookie Monster 2.
