This morning was just another Wednesday in the city of brotherly love, right? We rose with the sun, we got our butts to The Steps, we worked up a sweat and we hugged friends and strangers alike. As far as the plans for the workout, the execution and the community, it was just like every other Wednesday. The only little difference this morning was that we were part of Wawa Welcome America! – A multi-day festival celebrating America’s birthday in America’s birthplace. A week of free events for all of Philadelphia to enjoy. It was only fitting that we joined forces this year to help bring #freefitness to the forefront of the festivities, and hopefully become a part of the celebration for years to come!
We bounced before we ran suicides as a warm up on the steps. From there, group one ran the loop around the steps and group two the steps themselves – stopping at the bottom for 7 squats, half way for 7 sit-ups and the top for 7 push-ups – 7 for the 4th of july and the full body for getting beach ready for the holiday weekend ahead!
We made the news, NBC10, Telemundo62 were both there filming. Reps from Wawa Welcome America ran the steps with us, and some verballed for future workouts – after all that is what building community is all about! It was a blast and I for one am happy to have been a part!
We surfed Linsta and Jeanna for their belated bdays, which was also rad! And a good time was had by all.
We’ll do it again next Wednesday – but first we hope to see you on Friday up on Lemon Hill.
