9 PAX gathered on a beautiful February morning – a preview of spring that is right around the corner.
Disclaimer and we started to mosey down road towards the entrance when Olaf came trotting out of the woods making it 10 PAX. Turned around at entrance and did some dynamic warmup on return to parking lot (Toy Soldiers, High Knees, Karaoke).
Maybe it was the weather or maybe it was just Olaf, but the mumblechatter was strong this morning.
The first Thang:
10 Minute hardCORE HIIT – 10 Exercises 45 Sec On 15 sec off
SSH
Freddie Mercuries
Standing High Knee Taps
American Hammers
Mountain Climbers
Laying Leg Raises
Plank In and Outs (think flying squirrel – plank jacks)
Plank side to sides (think elbow plank where you alternate rotating and touching each hip to the ground)
Star Crunches (essentially a Dying Cockroach)
Running High Knees
Before the circuit started, I proclaimed this was a core HIIT. So thank you Bandcamp for letting us know halfway through that we were doing a lot of ab work – very enlightening 😉
The next Thang:
“Twos”day Torture – in honor of it being 2-22-22 on a Tuesday
2 stations separated by .2 miles – Station 1 at parking lot where we park, Station 2 at parking lot at entrance
Perform following exercises at Station 1:
2 Mickey Mouse Merkins
22 MNCs while in squat position
22 Lunges (11 each leg)
Run to Station 2 (Plank for the 6)
Perform following exercises at Station 2:
2 Kraken Burpees
22 overhead claps
22 calf raises
Run Back to Station 1 (Plank for the 6)
Rinse/Repeat – we made it through 4 rounds
Moseyed back and finished back at COT right on time
NMM: As usual, an honor to lead the Pax. Naturally, the runs back and forth between stations today evolved into long sprint races and competitions of who could get their heart rate highest. Not sure there was a clear winner but we all got better together and fought the urge to slow down or cut it short. Maximus would have agreed that we earned our 1% today – great work from all the PAX. Thanks for the opportunity Shower Curtain!
