29 PAX descended on Slow Burn for a leisurely Friday morning, stroll around the Chick and Lowes parking lots.  SlowBurn continues its reputation for great showings, and the PAX that posted proved it again today.  At 5:15, the disclaimer was recited (one day I’ll get the whole thing right) and the PAX began moseying down to the “warm-up lot”.

The WARM UP:

15 Windmills

20 Moroccan Night Clubs

15 SSH

10 Cherry Pickers

10 Mountain Climbers

10 LBC’s

The THANG:

Now that we were sufficiently warmed up,the PAX moseyed down and around to the backside of Lowes and proceeded to grab some rail.  Rail exercises as follows:

• 20 Dips
• 15 Incline Merkins
• 20 Dips
• 25 Calf Raises
• 20 Dips
• 15 Decline Merkins

Seeing as how the PAX were already grumbling and mumble chatter was starting to get louder and louder, the respectable and right thing to do was to feed into it a bit more.  The PAX took off on a path around the back of Lowes to find 4 cones strategically placed in corners of the parking lot with chalk written exercises beside each cone.  All proceeded to count off by 4’s and each respective number groups moved to their corresponding corners.

The 4 corners were laid out as follows:

• Squats / Lunges / Monkey Humpers
• Merkins / Wide Arm Merkins / Carolina Dry Docks
• LBC’s / Box Cutters / Weezy Jefferson’s
• Peter Parker / Parker Peters / Imperial Walkers

The PAX were instructed to each perform an exercise then to move clockwise around the parking lot until all three rounds were completed.  Each exercise were x 25 reps.

Seeing as how we had a bit more time than YHC anticipated, and that the moaning and griping wasn’t quite where it needed to be just yet, instructions were given to Rinse and Repeat the entire circuit, this time at 5 reps per exercise.

Once completed, all moseyed back to the parking lot from whence we came for a quick round of Mary then back to COT for count, name-o-rama, Announcements and Prayers and Praises.  We welcomed one FNG, ToolTime and Couples took us out in prayer.

As I reflect on this workout, and in anticipation for the word for July, I am grateful for the many “Freedoms” we all have, enjoy and come to treasure.  I pray that all have a wonderful 4th of July and spend a little of the time that we have that day, reflecting on those Service Men and Women that work so incredibly hard everyday to protect our very freedoms.

Many thanks to Barry Manilow for allowing me to Q, and for the great “encouragement” of the PAX.
