Dancing at the Ballroom with all my Rowdy Friends!!!

WARMUP: After a brief discussion on where to get the best sliders on the EC ( it’s in Jersey of all places ) we got after it.
All in cadence – WMx10, CPx10, HBWx10, OCx10, MNx10
THE THANG: We moseyed to the back parking lot in front of the baseball field. Completed 20 SSH in cadence waiting on the 6. Island to Island was the distance, used the 2 parking lines forward, conduct 1 rep of an exercise then go 1 line back and conduct the same exercise. 1st round was bear crawl moving forward and crawl bear moving backwards with 1 merkin completed at every line. 2nd round was alt lunge walk moving forward, alt backward lunges to move backwards with 2 squats completed at every line.
Had enough of that parking lot so we moseyed along the winding road heading back to COT. Of course, we stopped to do some dancing with DORA. Shortened the running distance to make it a SPEEDY DORA, partners completed 100 merkins, 200 LBCs, & 300 Flutters(SC).
These guys were crushing it so we had time for another routine. Headed to the benches at the school entrance. 1 PAX was the timer while all other PAX performed an exercise. The timer was 10 burpees. Rotated 3 exercises as we moved down the line with PAX performing their 10 burpees – Step-ups, Gerkins, & V-Ups.
These guys don’t quit so we had time for more at COT. Asked the PAX to think of a physical weakness, then think of an exercise they will perform for 1 minute to strengthen that weakness. Battlebot definitely picked the most interesting weakness. You gotta show to know.
After the minute of pain was up we sat down and concluded the final 3 minutes of our wo time together with stretching ( something YHC doesn’t do nearly enough of ).
MARY: Didn’t need her as we practiced our 2 step and then danced with DORA.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s Shelter serve on 11/2, fundraising events, READ YOUR NEWSLETTER!
COT: Closed in prayer. Just wanted to say this was one of the most uplifting, encouraging groups I’ve had the privilege of leading! Loved every minute of it! Thanks for the opportunity Boogie Down!!!

YHC thought he’d be just tired from staying up for the Clemson game. The unexpected feelings of disappointment made for a not-so-moderate workout, enjoyed by all. Great to see the men that posted, but especially great to meet Tin Cup, Halfback, and Mighty Mite.

Thanks to Boogie Down for the opportunity to lead.

Mosey to the walking bridge for Jacob’s ladder. Run to the end of the bridge and do 1-5 burpees, run back. (5 reps total)

Walk to the school building for 2 rounds of People’s Chair (60 sec hold). The pax were encouraged to sit at a 90 degree angle.

MARY: Flutter x 10, Box cutter x 10, Pretzel crunch x 10, Superman x 3

NAKED MAN MOLESKIN:
Good mumble chatter today by the Pax. Twister started it during the opening SSH’s when he noticed a small fenced-in area with a chair placed in it. What purpose did it serve? (time out chair?, teacher’s smoking lounge?)
Today’s workout was one I pulled from the archives (08/01/2019) and executed almost identically. Noteworthy of that workout was when I asked the pax to take a few minutes and get to know someone new in the group. I took that cue from C-Span who did something similar years before at WEP. It’s a neat way to make a connection with the guys you see in the gloom, but may not know very well.

COT: Barry Manilow joined us at COT following his 6 mile run.
Good to have you with us, brother! We prayed for ST’s mom and longtime friend John with terminal cancer. Prayers also for Dixie’s 5 yr old niece whose body started rejecting a donated kidney
