New Year’s Lessons and a triumphant return

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey up the back road and circle up at the light pole of YHC’s choosing.

Exercises in cadence were windmills, hillbilly & imperial walkers, low slow squats, holding people’s chairs with Moroccan night clubs, side straddle hops and seal jacks. And of course – the goofball in honor of <@U028PKR68GJ>’s glorious return to the gloom.

PAX planked for shoulder taps, single count merkins, a few Broga poses and recovered in time to mosey to the wall

THE THANG:
Lesson 1 – “the best remedy for anger is delay” – Seneca

BTTW – hold for 15 seconds and then do 5 d/c Australian Mountain Climbers in cadence, recover, walk it out, back to wall for wall sit for 30 seconds followed by shoulder presses from the wall sit position in cadence.

PAX repeated this sequence once more.

Mosey off to the next lot

Lesson 2 – “he who suffers before it’s necessary suffers more than necessary.” – Seneca

Dora with a partner – because we shouldn’t do life alone. Partner 1 exercises while partner 2 runs. Then flapjack. Rinse and repeat until all exercises were finished.

50 burpees
100 squats
150 double count flutters

All finished and we moseyed to the basketball court and circled up for abs

LBC’s in cadence
Flip over for Superman holds
The following three exercises were done in double count cadence keeping legs in the air at all times until the third exercise was completed
1 – 10 LBC’s in cadence
2 – 10 Hello Dolly’s in cadence
3 – 10 Rosalita’s in cadence

Quick recovery in time for some protractor holds at various angles and recover to head to COT for a 60-second stretch when 0715 was upon us.

MARY: see above, but she was not there. Open to all men.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: We’re announced. Read your newsletter.

COT: remains the fifth core principle

YHC was blessed to start to the first Saturday of 2025 with the HIM of the fort. Thanks <@U07LMG5PDQU> – for the call. :eye:
