F3 Dads does the Hula

F3 Dads does the Hula

35 Dads and 2.0’s showed up to Beatty Park this morning for the first A51 Dad’s workout of the year. I wide range in ages and F3 Dad’s experience but we got right down to it.

A bit of a disclaimer upfront to watch out for Ant Mounds all over the field.  There was a bunch of them but I didn’t see anyone get bit.

The Thing – Mosey from Left field to Right field and Circle Up for COP.

Coach the 2.0’s on cadence count and hit some SSH, Merkins, Squats and Mountain Climbers.

Mosey over to outfield fence to find a stretch of grass with no ant mounds.  Dad’s plank up and kids go for 2 rounds of Tunnel of Love.  Got to get this in early because the kids love it and the dads weren’t sweating too much yet.

Head over to the 2nd base line and line up for animal walks.  Bear crawl, Unicorn Walk, Mountain Lion, Crab Walk and a few PAX picks – Penguin, Scorpion, and Bear Crawl with a push up every 3 steps (who teaches their kid this?)

Water break and set up for Hula Relay’s

5 teams.

Relay one – run to each hoop (3) pull them over your body and drop them down, turn around cone and come back through all 3 hoops the same way.

Relay two – Dad’s hold 3 hoops and kids crawl through each hoop, around cone, and back.  Repeat with kids holding and dad’s running and repeat again with the kids running.

Relay three – Shuttle run – carry wiffle ball to opposite hoop, drop one ball, pick up the other and bring it back to 1st hoop.

Water Break

10 minutes of Hula Hoop Freeze tag.  If you have the hoop you are a tagger.  Ring the hoop over someones body and they are frozen.  Someone else pulls hoop over them to unfreeze them.  Now that person has the hoop and is a tagger.

Hand out all the Hula Hoops as door prizes – one to each family.

Done.

Moleskine:

Certainly looked like everyone was having a great time and got some exercise out there.  Not too bad this morning but certainly going to get more muggy from here!  Encourage fellow PAX to come out and spend time with their 2.0s.  It’s a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

Now I have some chores to knock out!

Thanks to Lex Luthor for once again stepping up to lead F3 Dad’s this summer.  Also thanks to Mermaid for the great takeout.
