Saturday morning it was chilly but a beautiful start to the day. We were shedding layers in no time. We started with a warm up and then a quick game of Would you rather. All the questions were mixed answers except for none of us had run a marathon and all of us have googled someone’s name after meeting them for the first time!
The Thang –
In this whirlpool routine, I had 8 cones with an exercise on each. The cones were set up in a semi circle. Everyone spread out to a cone, with one person being the runner. Each pax does the exercise on that cone until the runner comes back from the lap. The runner goes to cone 1 and then all pax rotate. It continues with each pax rotating through all the cones and running /walking, in a circular pattern, like a whirlpool. We got through 4 times.
