A dark and chilly morning greeted the 7 PAX that headed the call of The Colosseum. Competition is fierce for Tuesday AO’s around The Fort region but I always enjoy this AO.  Rooney got an upgraded playground installed, there are hills to play on, plenty of walls and ledges, everything you could want.  What did we do at this workout?  Well, keep reading for that.  But, full disclosure, I lifted the entire workout from Pusher and Cake Boss.  This is basically what we did at The Deep on Saturday.  You know what they say; imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

The Thang:

No FNG’s so we took a short mosey around the school to the parking lot above the football field.

COP:

• 20 SSH
• 10 Merkins
• 20 Moroccan Night Club
• 20 Squat Walkers
• 20 Seal Jacks – I screw this up every time I try to Q it. Legs together with clap or out? We (I) finally got it right and did 20 good ones

Mosey down the stairs to the cold, dew covered football field:

Ladder with 60 yard run between. Begin 1st exercise and add next exercise with # of reps.

• 1 Merkin (12 total)
• 2 Squats (22 total)
• 3 LBCs (30 total)
• 4 Mak Tar Chi (36 total)
• 5 Burpees (40 total)
• 6 Freddy Mercury’s (42 total)
• 7 Jumping Lunges (42 total)
• 8 Flutter Kicks (40 total)
• 9 Carolina Dry Docks (36 total)
• 10 Side Straddle Hops (30 total)
• 11 Donkey Kicks (22 total)
• 12 Leg Raises (12 total)

This group was fast through this ladder! No messing around and only minimum grumblings.  Ginsu sang something about the Flat Tire 12 days of Christmas.  Good times!

YHC talked about the theme of the month, mercy.   Greatest example of mercy is Christ dying on our behalf.  2 Corinthians 5:21:  He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. AYE!

Mosey out of the football field gloom up the stairs and over to the now well-lit basketball goals. We used our imagination to envision a track around the perimeter of the basketball courts.

Backward Indian Run

• Line up for Indian run but 1^st man peels off and does merkin. Upon completion, catch up and then it’s the new leader turn for merkins. Lap 1
• Lap 2, switch to wide arm merkins
• Lap 3, diamond merkins
• Lap 4, stagger left
• Lap 5, stagger right

5 minutes of Mary

Each PAX led their choice.

• Flutters, hello dolly, protractor, American Hammer, Captain Thor, LBC, and more merkins for good measure

Great time with a solid PAX this AM. Peabody even said the workout was “really fun”.  Not sure if that’s good or bad?  This workout was good because the group stayed together the entire time.  Perfect weather and great brotherhood, can’t beat that.
