Frozen tundra mumblechatter

WARMUP: An adventurous warmup of circle runs and

SSH
IW
Tunnel touches
Merkins
Mtn Climbers
Overhead claps

One man ran two circles around us wilst we completed the various exercises.

THE THANG: We moseyed to the center of the park and partnered up. One partner ran half sped across the park whilst the other partner counted to 5 and then chased them down, completing the run to the concrete track. Jogged back. Repeated until everyone was annoyed.

Moseyed to the hill where the partners participated in the now trademarked “Indian Land Butt Sniffers Bear Crawl Uphill” :tm:

Then lunges uphill.

At playground – partners did planks, dips and grave diggers whilst partner ran around the playground.

The Mary was one set of flutter kicks.

Perhaps <@UGU3XR5RP> will have some comments but it was clear this was his favorite workout in months.

Dear Abby joined! We got a Chicago report.

We had the privilege of COT to express prayers for fellow Pax and also for Mrs DD.

Food drive to come!

One lap is all it takes

Leave a comment

WARMUP: ssh, wind mills, imp walkers, plank, up and down dog, Peter Parker’s
THE THANG: we moseyed one lap around the large loop around the pond and LPL (counter clockwise) starting at cot. We stopped at every other street light and did some exercises

Along the first road ( through the row of restaurants, etc) we did 1 burpee, 2 bomb jacks, 3 big boys, 4 merkins and 5 squats

Along the second road towards the back of Kingsley, we did all the previous things, and added 6 side straddle hops.

We stopped along the way at the rip rap for a quick and painful interlude where we each grabbed a rock and carried it over our heads up to the LPL parking sign and back. We then continued our journey.

Along the next road, across the back of LPL, we did the previous 6 exercises at the designated street lights and added 7 monkey humpers.

Finally, along the road back to cot, we did these same 7 exercises, but doubled the rep count of each

We did one last set when we arrived back at cot and then we caught our breath, wiped the sweat from our brows and enjoyed the sunrise.

WARMUP: A little extra on the stretchy warm up thing to wake up the Qs bones
THE THANG: Partner work throughout as we rotated partners repeatedly. We did fun things like partner Merkins, partner squats, partner derkins, partner leg throws, etc. We also did partner burpees with all pax logging 50 across the workout. We ran, we mumbled, we chattered, as we moseyed around various spots proximate to WEP.

Buckets (again)

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We warmed up

Went to the now famous buckets workout.

Three buckets were placed around Kingsley. Upon arrival the packs found various exercises on paper slips that were pulled from the buckets at random. The goal was to spread the buckets around so that we got at least a mile if not a mile and a half of running for the workout.

Included in bucket 1:
Box cutters and burpees
Mtn climbers and grave diggers
Donkey kicks and merkins
LBCs and dying cockroaches

Bucket 2:
Donkey kicks and squats
Calf raises and Weezy Jeffersons
Butt kickers and Peter pointers

Bucket 3:
Burpees of various counts
Shoulder taps
Lbc’s

All thoroughly enjoyed. Good news…I believe they will all continue to post at the Fort.

Many thanks to the President and CEO of gloomschedule, <@U08G28Z7E> for the opportunity.
