The Hacky Sack Exercise Program

This morning I had the best workout I've had in months. And all I was doing was trying to keep a soup-filled sock airborne.

Opie, Bob, Rabbit and I started playing hacky sack just after lunch but, shortly after we began, Opie had to go to school and Bob had to go do a job for the major. It was down to two.

Rabbit and I played very fast-paced for a while, pulling all kinds of silly moves - or at least trying to pull them. Many of our kicks came with sound effects to keep things interesting. Some of the sound effects we made would cripple us in laughter for a few moments before we could continue. Several times I kicked the table behind me while going for the sack, threatening to wake the sleepers in the dorm.

These antics continued for nearly two hours as we noticeably slowed and lost coordination proportional to energy spent. That was the first time I've ever sweat from playing hacky sack and I'm sure I'll be a little sore tomorrow. It was definitely worth it.
