Fun with buckets

Leave a comment

Everyone loved my Q this past Friday. We had 3 buckets placed around the parking lot with various exercises to pick from each bucket. Many of you have struggled through it before. If you haven’t it truly is one of the more inventive and talked about workouts in the Fort. Just ask me about it next time. Really.

Somehow Anchorman was the hero as he managed to pick the one ticket that had only 2 burpees. Winner.

We had a great COT, with Spectre bringing his heart after the very long few weeks that he and his family have been through. If you’ve given them a thought or a prayer recently he is grateful.

Boogie Down can use some prayers dealing with some “Senioritis” (as we have been there) and props to Double D for this weekend’s wedding festivities. Sprocket’s excited about a 2.0 baptism and I’m traveling this weekend for the death of my stepfather. I’m sure there were others I’m missing. Safe travels for Peach Stand.

Most Dry Burn

Leave a comment

Start of the workout there was NO RAIN!
WARMUP: Slow mosey around the parking lot where PAX gather to get the heart rate up and warm up the muscles. Then pentagon up for 10-15 of the following:
* SSH
* Windmills
* Imperial walkers
* Big arm circles, forward and reverse
* Strawberry pickers
Then move over a couple rows of parking spots to…..
THE THANG:
Round 1: 10s
Progress through 10 parking spots, do an exercise at each parking spot, then a movement to the next spot, do the next rep of the exercise, same movement to the next spot, and so on, until you get to the 10th parking spot. Turn around and repeat, but with different exercise and movement. Reps increase by 1 with each parking spot….starting at 1, then 2, 3, 4, …..10 reps. That makes 55 reps of each exercise.
Exercises, movements:
1. Merkins, lunge
2. LSS, lunge
3, CDD, bear crawl
4. LBC, crab walk
Great mumblechatter throughout! Then on to….

Round 2: Lucky 7s
7 exercises, 7 reps each, 7 rounds
We moved over to Lowe’s to get under cover because it started raining a little and Twister did not want to be out of sorts and wet for McGospel.
7 exercises:
1. More merkins 4ct
2. More LSS
3. Situps
4. Flutter 4ct
5. American Hammer 4 ct
6. Mountain Climber 4ct
7. Monkey Humper 4ct
We got through 6 rounds before we timed out and had to go to COT.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter! Get involved.
COT: Asked each PAX for a prayer and praise. We lifted them up to Him.
We got a little wet, but it was not cold and we are not made of sugar, so we did not melt away. Great way to start the day!

Thanks Peach Stand for the opportunity to lead!

Slow jog to behind Lowe’s. Using guardrail, 10 dips, 10 derkins, and 10 incline merkins. Jog to other end and repeat. Jog to side of lowes. 8 hand release merkins, 8 mtn climbers, 7,7,6,6…1,1 then jump back to 8 & 8 to finish. Lots of bitching on this one so I was happy.
