I am just one, but  I am one;
I cant solve all the problems, but I can solve one;
I won’t let what I can’t do prevent me from doing what I can.

Another beautiful morning at the Poopdeck brought out 8 Pax ready to push themselves and get better. I was excited to try some new things and I knew this group would be up to the challenge.

After a short mosey around the parking lot to get the juices flowing, we circled up in the Bowl ‘n’ Bounce parking lot for a quick warmup:

• SSH x25
• IW x10
• Windmill x10
• Merkins x10
• Downward Dog/Honeymooner
• Burpees x10 (because thats what ya do)

Pax are warm so we moseyed behind the Sherwin Williams for The Thang:

I had setup 6 cones in the shape of an ‘S’ approximately 10 yards apart from each other.  One Pax would bear crawl the cones and then run back through completely the course while the remaining Pax performed an exercise. Once they were finished another Pax would take their place and we would move onto the next exercise. The exercises were:

• Peoples Chair
• BTTW
• Merkin 6-inch Hold
• Al Gore
• American Hammers
• Carolina Dry Docks
• Jumping Junges
• Flutter Kicks
• Burpees with a twist

Each Pax pushed it through the course in order to lessen the suffering of the other Pax performing the exercise.

Following a 10-count, we moseyed back to the Bowl ‘n’ Bounce parking lot for an escalating HIIT workout.

We started with 1 exercise, adding another exercise until all 5 exercises are completed in succession. Then, work back down until only the last exercise is left.

20 seconds (20s) per exercise:

• Exercise 1 then 20s rest
• Exercises 1 and 2 then 20s rest
• Exercises 1, 2, 3 then 20s rest
• Exercises 1, 2, 3, 4 then 20s rest
• Exercises 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 then 20s rest
• Exercises 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 then 20s rest
• Exercises 5, 4, 3, 2 then 20s rest
• Exercises 5, 4, 3 then 20s rest
• Exercises 5, 4 then 20s rest
• Exercise 5

The exercises were:

• Floor Touch Jump Squats
• Plank Hold
• Squat Thrusts
• Fast High Knees
• American Hammers

We got through it with no time to spare, it was 6:00 on the dot. So we took the short walk to the flag for COT.

I really enjoyed the workout today and the push each Pax put in.  Thanks to Wild Thing for the opportunity to lead.
