Winging it at the Corral

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Quick mozy then mountain climbers, Moroccan Night Clubs, CDD and for the crowd pleaser….SSH
THE THANG: Due to technology issues, the scheduled Q wasn’t there so we winged it and the backblast is unlikely to be fully accurate. I probably should have completed this backblast right after the workout but, oh well.
After warmup we jogged to the side of the Harris Teeter for wall sits. The Pax took turns bear crawling out and doing five merkins while the others stayed “seated”. Burpees then followed the merkins.
Mozy to just in front of the Dollar Store for 11s. We took requests and Senator suggested Diamond merkins and Kermit chose bomb jacks. Laps went from the Dollar Store to the Indian restaurant at the other side of the parking lot.
Once completed, we returned to the side of HT for BTW countdowns, overhead claps and likely other stuff I don’t immediately remember.
With time remaining, we did mini 7s running from the side of HT to the other side of the street. (Again, I’m not recalling what exercises we did but we took requests for inclusivity)
With a few minutes remaining we returned to COT for boxcuttahs, hello Dollys and flutters.
Despite no actual plan, it turned out to be a good beatdown and everyone got something out of it.
MARY: Yep
ANNOUNCEMENTS: All the usual stuff
COT: Kermit’s friend and her health, quality time with kids.

Bushwood Casino – Suplex dealing…

Leave a comment

WARMUP: MOTIVATOR, Windmills, Imp.-Walkers

THE THANG:
:black_joker: Texas Hold ’Em Beatdown Rules
Setup:
– Regular deck of cards. Assign each suit to an exercise:
– Hearts → Merkins Diamonds → Squats
– Clubs → Big Boy Sit-Ups Spades → Jump Squats
– Number = reps (face cards = 10, Ace = 11, Joker = Q’s Choice)
– Change Exercises for Each Round…
– All Pax do exercises for Flop/Turn/River. Folding = 5-10 of “ante-exercise”. Betting (w/ IOU of ante-exercise reps) proceeds as with regular Texas Hold ’em. Upon the showdown (post-River card), everyone “Pays up”. Winner calls out easier/alt. exercise for himself & the pax that pay up w/ time to spare (until the 6 is up)

Round 2 & 3 (same as above… new exercises)
Hearts:CDD / Shakira
Diamonds:Lunges / Sumo Squats
Clubs:V-ups / Dying Cockroaches
Spades:Flying Squirrels / Kosak Squats
Ante/IOU: Hand-Release Burpees / Lt. Dan/Apollo Ono complex

Mosey around Lot …. Then 4-Square.
when “out”… take a short lap & do merkins until back in.

Quotes shared w/ Pax throughout the workout (Common theme of paying your debts):
Proverbs 10:9 (NIV)
“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.”

Marcus Aurelius – Meditations 6.30
“If it is not right, do not do it, if it is not true, do not say it.”
(And if you said it—do it.)

Seneca – On Anger, Book III
“A promise is a debt.”

John Wooden (legendary coach):
“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are.”

George Washington:
“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for ’tis better to be alone than in bad company.”
(Good company pays their IOUs.)

F3 Lexicon – Freed to Lead
“Your word is your bond. If you said it, own it. If you owe it, do it.

MARY: Pax choice – included Am.Hammers, leg raises, LBC’s among others

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Trash clean up, New AO in Rock Region, upcoming Canoli Run & Tortoise+Hare
COT: prayers for various life transitions lifted to Sky-Q
