What kind of warm-up chaos is this?

Chaotic dynamic systems may be sensitive to initial conditions. This sensitivity manifests itself as an exponential growth of error; the chaotic behaviour MAY APPEAR RANDOM! But minute differences in the starting state of the system can lead to large differences in the final state, even over very small timescales. This gives the IMPRESSION that "the system" is behaving RANDOMLY.................:)

If that is in fact the warm-up?
aren't warm-ups supposed to be kind of chaotic?
In the sense that we begin focus, breathe, jump, twist, twirl, bounce as a way of preparing for what lies ahead. Better the chaos in the warm-up than in the routine.

MD: I'm not challenging at all. I am implying that I like what I see. Warm-up and do whatever it takes to get the blood moving! Robotic, stoic movements do not warm the body up properly. Let's all mobilize and open up!

JU: We were typing at the same moment!!

...and you know what I am talking about and I am not referring to saying we were typing for the sake of saying we were typing.

That was not a warmup, that was Kaag fulfilling his dream of being The ringmaster in a circus. Next week I'm wearing my clown shoes. Can't wait to run a 400 with big floppy feet....well floppier than usual.

Of the many compelling, interesting, thought-provoking, deeply philosophical posts of the last weeks...it's a post with 2 pics of a warm-up that gets 5 comments before 8am...one of which invokes "big floppy feet"? Nice! Well no one said we were training for the Academic Debate team:)!

I'll just add to MC...gotta practice like you play! If the circuit is ballistic, then the warm up better prep the body appropriately!

I use a lot of excalamation points.
