A Rolling Warm-up

I kicked my legs right off the locker room bench and marched out into the bright tiled hallway! Right by the equipment cart, a giant blue exercise ball was resting quietly against the wall. That looked like the ultimate game-day challenge! I took a running leap, pressed both gloved palms firmly against its rubbery side, and pushed with all my might. Whoosh! The giant sphere surged forward down the corridor, and I scrambled right alongside it, matching every bounce with wide, high-knees struts. We brought the whole empty hallway to life!
