It was an overcast day in Lake Wylie this morning and 18 PAX came out for a “getting to know you” workout! We warmed up with some randomness of jumping jacks, arm circles, and cherry pickers. Then I remembered I was supposed to have them write down their FIA names on orange index cards while warming up so we passed around the cards and marker while doing more jumping jacks, butt kickers, Moroccan night clubs, and tin soldiers.
The Thang:
A FiA name is drawn out of the bowl in the middle of the circle and that’s FiA comes out and chooses a pink index card with “getting to know you” questions on it. While they tell us the story/ answer the questions we marched or jogged in place while learning interesting facts about our sisters! For example:
Houdini has an awesome Thanksgiving tradition called “hunch punch” where family members bring over various liquors and mixers and they put it all in the punch! 😂
Treble wanted to be a singer when she was young and grew up to be a music teacher among other musical things 🎶
IceT has very accomplished children including an autistic college student who is on a bowling scholarship, started a nonprofit that donates bowling gear, and is the youngest ever something related to bowling! 🎳 (I’m sure she’ll correct me and I’ll update this post)
THEN after our getting to know you minute or so we spelled out their FiA name according to our alphabet workout board!
Side-note: There was a “joker” question card in the pile to run a lap that when pulled we would do that and then the FiA came back in to pull another question card and keep going with the plan.
The FiA who was in the Middle picks the card for the next FiA to come in the center. This went on until we ran out of time!
Moleskin:
This was fun and I hate that we didn’t get to all the names for the purpose of hearing everyone’s stories, but pretty sure every was glad we never pulled Awesomesauce or Beetlejuice from the pile! Especially considering how many I’s and E’s were showing up that I didn’t really think about. There was much complaining about the planks and I gave in and did audible some E and I exercises toward the end and did 30s (each) side planks and 30s chair sits.
We ended with announcements:

We decided to start the change to 5 am on Oct 1 to keep it easy “switch to 5 am in the month of October” due to the construction and expected traffic
Oct ladies who lunch is Friday the 11th at Papa Docs
