In what has become an unofficial goal for NP Indy, we take songs that you normally like…and we ruin them for you. We’ve done it with burnouts, we’ve done it with bounces, and now we’ve done it with Christmas music. We celebrated the season (and the first day of Hanukkah) with our “12 Days of Christmas” workout.
The Lyrics:
The “day” corresponds to the number of reps. So the first day…means you just have one rep. This happened to be a full lap around the block!! The rest is listed below. Feel free to sing along!!
The Liner Notes:
‘tis the season…for BUFFS!! Our Canadian brethren have graced us with this year’s design. Each of the 44 November Project cities is represented by a “symbol”. Fortunately for Indy, ours is pretty easy to figure out. The same cannot be said about some of the others, however. Looking for a holiday game to play with the family and friends? Allow this buff to provide you hours of entertainment. You can all enjoy such games as “when did Cairo, Egypt get a tribe?”, “is that a fart symbol?”, “why is there just a bench?”, and of course “unless Fountain Square has a tribe….that one must be Brooklyn.”
Let it be known that nobody other than Nadim from Edmonton had any say in this design so if you don’t like in…please feel free to blame Canada. I often do.
Speaking of the season…and of silly Canadian things. It’s cold out. The last few workouts have given us the chance to break out the layers and test our mettle. And, while numbers typically drop along with the temperatures, we have grown A LOT over the summer months and I am confident we can keep these numbers up through the winter. So this is just a reminder…you are #weatherproof. Don’t let some stupid number on phone app tell you otherwise. It feels good to go into the day watching people scurry to get inside as quickly as possible knowing you just did a workout in that. Also fun, is watching people’s faces when you respond to them after they ask “what do you guys do when it’s super cold out?”
With that, I will end on a personal note. This was the last Wednesday workout I will be at in 2017, as I will be heading to my sister’s place in Vegas for the holidays with the family. So, for those of you I won’t see until 2018. THANK YOU!! This year has been amazing for November Project Indy. The tribe has grown so much in both numbers and community reach. It’s because of all of the energy, hype, and love that you all bring each week to NP. I can’t wait to see what 2018 has in store for us as a tribe and November Project as a movement.
See you Friday at Bicentennial Plaza right outside of the Indiana Statehouse
Reminder: Next Wednesday we will meet on the SOUTH stairs for KGergs final workout as an NP Indy regular 🙁
Have a great holiday season!!
