Dirty Dozen Minus 1 (with shoes)

We did the world (not so) famous hour of power / dirty dozen (minus 1) with shoes today…basically the women are in the deep end of the pool treading water. In small groups (we ended up with 4 groups) doing the dirty dozen.

Dirty Dozen consists of 1 press out, 1 push up, 1 full sit up for every width of the pool swum. The first time you do 1 of each, second time you do 2 of each, third time you do 3 of each … continuing on until you reach 12. (doing the dirty dozen minus 1, the final number is 11 … dirty bakers dozen is 13).

For today’s practice, when the women weren’t doing the dirty dozen they were in the water. Arms out of the water whenever anyone in the small group was out of the water. (which happens quite a bit in small groups)

All with shoes on … not an easy hour!
