Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Egg Hunt

I thought it was appropriate to have an egg hunt since this is Easter weekend, so I put in a request to the Easter bunny, and he delivered!

We did our warm up behind the middle school (we needed it since it was 30 degrees out) with some seal jacks, skiier jacks, imperial walkers, plank jacks, calf stretch, runner’s stretch and merkins.

Then we started out on our Easter egg hunt, Paula Abdul style.  Luckily we found our first egg pretty quick.  We always passed up the egg and ran to the next one, did 5 merkins and then ran back to the egg we passed and opened it to find a surprise.  The eggs were filled with wonderful exercises with reps, much to everyone’s delight.  We followed the trail of eggs out to twelve mile creek and then in the elementary school entrance.

The last egg on that trail gave us instructions to head over the the middle school b-ball courts, where we found a pile of coupons waiting.  Most Easter bunny’s leave candy, this one wasn’t nearly that nice.  We did some murder bunny relay work (paybacks to the mean Easter bunny) with speed skaters on one end and crunches on the other.  Then we switched to bear crawls with squat jumps on one end and American hammers on the other.  Just when we wanted to do more murder bunny’s, we noticed another egg hiding there, how could that be?!  So we opened it and it told us to go to the flag pole.  Off we went, what an adventure!

There was another egg waiting at the flag pole that said we were at the wrong flag pole and we need to go to the other flag pole, but first do 20 step ups.  Then over to the other flag pole we ran, only to find yet another egg that told us to go to the swings, but to first do 20 derkins.  What could be waiting at the swings?  We were captivated with anticipation.  There we found another egg that told us to go to the rock pile, but to first do 15 swerkins.  At the rock pile we found another egg that told us to get a rock and do 20 curls, 20 overhead presses, and 20 tricep extensions, and then go to the front of the middle school.  Chastain started talking about doing donkey kicks that he did at the last workout he Q’d and how much he loves them.  The Easter bunny must have been listening because the next egg told us to go to the lunch tables but first do 20 donkey kicks.  At that moment we all knew the Easter bunny was real.  So over to the lunch tables we ran where we found a case of Body Armor and a box of granola bars.  Wow!  What a surprise the Easter bunny left for us.

But there was still some time left so we ran back over to the coupon pile and did some partner work.  One pax did curls while the other ran, then one did goblet squats while the other ran, then one did coupon crunches while the other ran, then one did coupon swings while the other ran.  Then we carried the coupons and the goodies back to COT.

We all agreed that the 30 degree temp felt pretty good by the end of our egg hunt.  We’re pretty sure we found all the eggs.  And we are definitely all believers in the Easter bunny now, but next year lets get a better Easter bunny that will leave some candy.

Nice work today, and happy Easter fellas!
