Last Boot Camp Day we all were exposed to what George called 'Children's Games'. As an adult it was a bit hard to swallow that we would have as much fun as the kids I see after school, but I was wrong. Kicking soccer balls, running slaloms, and even sandwiching a ball between two people while running sideways got us sweating and laughing all at the same time.
The evening culminated in a good game of dodgeball. Of course this was not the dodgeball I remembered as a kid. I remember lining up my shots with a 2 pound rubber ball as big as my head at another kid's noggin. Putting all of my force behind the throw that could take him off of his feet if executed correctly. However, we did what we could with what we had on hand. Each person (about 35 of us) had a ball and formed a circle with our victims in the center. Each ball weighed about half as much of air so there was no potential for damage. Never-the-less we had our choice victims. Having 40-50 balls screaming at our head makes you take pause regardless who you are or how much the projectiles weigh. Or in Vira's case, instead of taking pause you could crouch down on the floor waiting for the on-slot to end.
It was a good night all in all. We had some new people join the Boot Camp. My Buddy group accepted a new one into our fold. I guaranty you that they did not know what they were getting themselves into. I'm look forward to next week. See Ya!
I am SO JEALOUS! I'm stuck in NW Indiana in some mighty chilly weather w/o time to exercise right now. :(
ReplyDeleteYes, we had some fun. It wasn't a really hard work out, but it was fun. I am hoping that we notch up the intensity a little to get a better sweat on.
ReplyDeleteListen, I recorded the lecture session on Tuesday because I saw you were not there. I thought you would like to hear it. If you want, I can send you the file so you can listen to it before next class. It was on meditation and it was a pretty good session. I have to look after my Chucktown crowd!
