Super sunrise

5 was the count at Ballroom this morning for a little light pole palooza. We hit chest, back, legs, arms, and abs with plenty of mumble chatter mixed in.

Cold morning, but the work still got done. Even while nursing the Achilles, we found a way to break a sweat and keep moving forward.

Bonus points for one heck of a sunrise to kick off the day.

Two’s company, three isn’t a crowd

WARMUP: Quick mozy followed by arm circles and Moroccan night clubs
THE THANG:
After the warmup, Pax headed over by a light in the parking lot for interval reps. With a timer, we completed 30 seconds on followed by a 10 second break. Each exercise completed twice either with the opposite hand or in the opposite direction. Exercises included:

  1. Slingshots
  2. Halos
  3. Single-leg deadlift
  4. Upright rows
  5. One-arm swings
  6. Side lunges
  7. Thrusters
  8. Rows
  9. Curls
  10. Triceps extension

Pax then formed a line for kettlebell pass throughs, which would have been more impactful with more than three people. (Cubby choose to run instead of kb due to an arm issue)
Once the pass throughs were completed we set the kettlebells in a row and ran to the first pre-placed cone and back. We then carried the bell to the first cone and completed 20 kettlebell merkins. We then ran to the next cone and back, grabbed the bell and advanced to the next cone for 20 calf raises. Rinse and repeat for five cones. Additional exercises (20 reps at each) were squats, shoulder presses and flutters.
Once completed we worked our way back to the start but instead of running to the next cone we always ran back to the first for a little extra mileage. Rinse and repeat until we got back to start.
