It never ceases to amaze YHC how, despite forecasts of rain during the workout hours, more often times than not the rain holds back for the workout. Such was the case this past Friday when SolidState asked that I Q “the burn”. The ground was wet, but we managed to stay pretty dry until I thought I heard CSPAN say we weren’t getting dirty enough (of course, he could have been talking about #bombjacks).

Quick disclaimer was offered to the 20 veteran packs, and we were of with a mosey to the parking lot in front of Empire Pizza.

Warmup-o-Rama
– Mountain Climbers x15 (IC)
– SSH x20 (IC)
– Imperial Walkers x15 (IC)
– Windmill x10 (IC)
– Low Slow Squat x10 (IC)
– Mountain Climbers x15 (IC)

Mosey up to 160 for frogger into Baxter, landing at the street corner outside of McAlister’s Deli.

The Thang
Pax partnered up (size not matter) and shown a #waterproofweinke taped to a trashcan near the street corner, causing a bit of #mumblechatter. Partner 1 was to stay at the street corner and perform the first pair of exercises (10 reps each exercises, switching back and forth), while partner 2 ran to the second floor balcony of the building across the street. Across the second floor balcony they were to perform a particular moving exercise. A copy of the #waterproofweinke was posted on the balcony for those memory challenged, like YHC. When partner 2 returned, flapjack with partner 1. Repeato through all six rounds. Exercises spelled out “BLIMPS”. See below:

1. B – Bomb jacks, Box cutters, ==> Broadjumps across balcony
2. L – LBCs, Lunges (in place) ==> Lunges across balcony
3. I -Imperial Walkers, Inclined Merkin ==> High Knee across balcony

Planked for 6 to catch up.

4. M – Merkins, Monkey Humpers ==> Mosey across balcony == A few unfortunate female joggers running Baxter’s Market Street most certainly apprecaited pax doing monkey humpers on the street corner. #classy
5. P – Plank Punches, Peter Parkers ==> Power Skip across balcony
6. S – SSH, Scorpion Dry Dock (5 each leg) ==> Shuffle Left/Right across balcony

Quick recovery then pax moseyed to “get dirty” doing some ab work in the grassy circle in front of the Baxter library. I don’t recall the exact counts, please forgive.

– Seal team sit-up
– Flutters
– Freddies
– Hello Dollies
– Russian Twists
– Mack Tar Jai
– Burpees

Thanks to SolidState for the opportunity to Q! SlowBurn is the first AO to which I posted, and always a great place to post and Q. Greatly appreciate the pax coming out to support one another!
