Warming up is just as important on the jungle gym as on real rock. We like to make our warmup a bit more fun by playing "follow the leader". Everybody repeats whatever the first person has done. The first person tries to make it interesting by coming up with creative things to do. (See the rest of this section for some examples.) The leader can do almost anything, but there are two rules which we try very hard to follow.

  1. You aren't allowed to put your feet anywhere that you're supposed to put your foot.
  2. The leader can't go upside down until everyone is at least somewhat warmed up.

If Fred is leading the group, he will occationally complain about rule two. Just ignore him.
