Work out group about a dozen, beautiful day, outside on the turf. Weighted vest.

Warm up
Mobility
Standard fare

Work
3 cycles
2 way sports squats, 35# dumbbell, 15 seconds of work
30 seconds of high plank

4 cycles, 45 seconds of rest
Waiter Lunge, 35# dumbbell, 15 seconds on a side
dumbbell swings, 35# dumbbell, 15 seconds
split leg cross chops, 8lb medi ball, 15 seconds on a side
Dumbbell rows, 35# 15 seconds on a side

4 cycles
medi ball slams, 30 seconds
slams to the side, 15 seconds on a side
bear crawls ball role, or low plank on the ball, 30 seconds

Medi ball move the mountain, 10, 20, 30 yards

We modified the medi ball slams cycle to be done walking, or on the side with shallow lunges, worked pretty well. This was an adaptation to dealing with the rubber dirt that flies up out of the turf when it is smacked repeatedly with a medi ball. After about 10 reps the stuff is flying up into your face so by walking you avoid that -- plus, I'm sure there are all sorts of prio-perceptive benefits, blah, blah, blah, balance, hrumph, coordination, bluster, bluster.

"DP" was near the end of the cold, but, decided to do it anyway. We lugged our stuff down to the lower field, alas, I forgot to put on my weight vest. This is my first workout without it in about a month. What a difference. I simply cannot recommend a single piece of exercise equipment more highly. Get a vest and use it, period. I see its benefit in two significant ways, work capacity and speed of recovery. "DP" did great in spite of the cold.

I modified what was written to flow a little better for me. I think there were supposed to be shrugs in there, and a weird thing called pogo hops, I discarded those. Whatever, I got hot and tired and I guess that is the point.
