QIC: Zebra

Pax: Manti, Dunphy, Herschel, Cake, Zebra

5 pax showed up in the gloom for a nice leg and cardio workout to kick start Tuesday morning.  Dunphy noticed that there was new paint on the field…Salem is hosting the Division III National Championship “Stagg Bowl” this Friday night.  Come on out for some football.

Warm-Up: 1 lap around Football field followed by IC exercises consisting of 15 Smerkins, 40 SSH, 25 Imperial Walkers, 10 WMH, 25 Arm Circles, 25 Jack Webbs
