Boys At Work
December 29, 2011
What is this?, you might wonder. Well, it’s five baseball players grunting and heaving their way through sideways planks–part of a conditioning workout in the off season. They’re in a cavernous (and cold) warehouse on the outskirts of Woodland, fifteen miles north of Davis, which is deserted tonight, but for these guys. The workout tonight was peer-lead.
I find the whole thing pretty endearing.

When I first looked at the pic I thought they were “action figures” which in fact, they are!

Oh, I love that. They are action figures! Peter and his friend Daniel are the youngsters–the other guys drive themselves to workouts. P&D’s dedication is really endearing, as I said. And they are so small and less strong than the big guys. Last night, one of the older guys, who’d missed a number of workouts over the holidays, had to go outside and throw up. And last night *they* came up with their own workout. Nutty guys.

Fantastic! How wondeful to see such initiative. And, plank pose is a challenge.
