Is That Jason?! Run!

Leave a comment

Twas the night before Halloween when all through The Fort every Pax was watching football, baseball or some other dumb sport.  

But down the road, on the east side they say:  Something spooky was stirring, maybe even scary was at bay. 

Not Jason or Michael or Chucky would be found, it was Drop Thrill trying to run down some needy sad clown. 

He wasn’t  thinking about a useless coaster stat, but was planning a Weinke that would cause you to scream  what’s that?!

So tell the Fartsack today that tomorrow you can’t stay. For Halloween at The Yard is definitely going to slay.

1-run
2- Wide Arm Merkins
3-Jump squats  
4-LBCs
5-Diamond merkins
6-Imperial walkers  
7-Rosalitas  
8-Slow flutters  
9-Low slow squats  
10-Lunges (10 each leg)
11-Merkins  
12-Burpees  

Thanks to the 5 men who came out for this fun and scary time. Happy Halloween! 🎃

Noah’s Ark – Just the Animals.

Leave a comment

WARMUP: very warm already

THE THANG: mosey around the islands of parking. Stop at one side and establish our workout area. The theme is Noah’s Ark so we did as many animal related workouts as we could do (and do it twice) because there were no solo animals. All exercises incorporated getting from one end of the lot to the other across 9 parking spaces.
First up
Alligator walk across the lot and back
25 monkey humpers on either end
Kangaroo hops (broad jumps )
Bunny hop
Take a mosey lap
Next
Animal related stretching
Down dog
Scorpion (down dog with leg up and over)
Flying squirrel
Arm circles (Eagle wings)
Row boats (to save yourself)
Last up
Crab walk
Duck walk
Gorilla shuffle (sideways)
Penguin walk

(Forgot inch worms)

MARY: flutter kicks and dying cockroaches
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes
COT: yes

Recess Time

Leave a comment

Disclaimer shared, The Yard Historian Minutes
WARMUP:
10 of each:
MNC
Wind Mills
Cherry Pickers
Hillbilly Walkers
Imperial Walkers

THE THANG:
4 Recess games of Yesterday

  • Game 1 — Red Light, Green Light: Everyone lines up on one end of the lot/field. Green Light = mosey/run. Yellow Light = walking lunges. Red Light = freeze and do 3 squats. If someone gets caught moving on Red Light: 3 burpees for everybody. Keep it moderate by making this more ridiculous than fast.
  • Game 2 — Four Square: Mark four corners roughly 20–30 yards apart. Each corner gets an exercise: 10 Merkins → 15 Squats → 20 LBCs → 10 Carolina Dry Docks. Travel between corners using different “playground transportation”: bear crawl for a short section, side shuffle, backward mosey, regular mosey. Complete 2–3 rounds.
  • Game 3 — Dodgeball Without the Dodgeball: Split into two teams on opposite sides. Q calls an exercise—plank, squat hold, Al Gore, etc. One PAX from each team races to the center and plays Rock-Paper-Scissors. Winner returns; loser does 5 reps of a called penalty exercise before returning. Next two PAX go. Completely unnecessary competition will naturally become extremely serious. 😂
  • Game 4 — Sharks & Minnows: One or two PAX are Sharks in the middle. Everyone else crosses the Yard. Tagged PAX do 5 squats + 5 Merkins and become Sharks. No tackling, diving or NFL combine nonsense—just tagging. Last Minnow standing gets absolutely nothing except bragging rights.

MARY:

  • Dips, Gas PUMPERS, Burpees, Heel Touch, Calf Raises, Merkins, LBCs variations

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Anniversary 9/29
COT:
Always stays in COT.

Blue Oyster Cult & Volleyball

Leave a comment

Music: Amazon Playlist (curated by Jim Cooke) “Blue Oyster Cult” The playlist is long. We just listened to the beginning.

Warmup:

  • Mountain Climbers
  • Big Boy Sit-ups
  • Imperial Walkers
  • Hillbilly Walkers
  • Windmills
  • LBC
  • Mosey a lap

Dora: 80-160-240

  • 80 Merkin
  • 160 Squat
  • 240 LBC

As each partner returns from their run, the partners pause. They take a volleyball and try to bump, set or hit back and forth until there is a fault. They may then add their number of successful touches in order to take away from their numbers.

Mosey a little bit.

Elevens.

  1. Merkins & Calf Raises
