I’m grateful for the opportunity to VQ this fine group of HIM this beautiful muggy morning at Varsity. Thanks Harry Carry for the invite!
7 was the count for a moderately hardish full body workout, good way to end a long, hard week. Effort = Reward and all present put forth the effort this morning.
0515 Circled up at the shovel flag for a quick disclaimer, YHC most likely forgot a couple things, but we were off anyway.
Moseyed on down the way toward Sugar Creek Elementary, but stopped about halfway there for some warmups. SSHs, windmills, imperial walkers, Moroccan nightclubs… YHC was informed that I needed to let everyone know when we were starting each warmup exercise… so we continued down the hill for the main event.
Thang 1
At the bottom of the hill we were introduced to the board of moderately hardish pain. This included 4 groups of exercises split up by a little movement, all to be done OYO. Dark Helmet took a look at the board and decided to go do something easier at the IPAX makeup… J/K
Group 1
50 Highknees
30 Makhtars
20 Half-burpees (down and up, no jump)
Run backward up hill to stop sign at JROTC building, then run back to the board.
Group 2
50 LBC Toe Touches
30 Squat Jumps
20 Wide Merkins
Side shuffle around elementary school rear parking lot, and back to the board.
Group 3
50 SSH
30 Hip Thrusts (on your back)
20 Alternating Lunges
Sprint up hill to stop sign at JROTC building, then run back to the board.
Group 4
50 Parker Peters
30 Seated Flutter Kicks
20 Merkins
Run rear parking lot loop, back to the board.
A few did Group 1 again while waiting on the rest of the PAX to finish, and then on to Thang 2.
Thang 2
Since Harry Carry called out Capt. Kirk’s natural Bear Crawl technique, PAX bear crawled up the hill, from the Sugar Creek parking lot to the stop sign at the JROTC building. A couple PAX made it all the way, most needed a break. After that enjoyable crawl, we returned to the shovel flag for the following 6 or 8 minutes of Mary;
High planks, then reached out with left arm and right leg and switch. Balance was an issue for some…
Side planks, including side hip thrusts and switch.
Super mans
Went around the circle, each PAX picked an ab exercise to include protractors, merkins (core was engaged), box cutters, leg lifts, flutters, LBCs, and body destroyers.
Was that Mars in the sky? It looked bright and red to me so yeah, Mars.
Count-o-Rama, Name-o-Rama, Announcements, Prayers/Praises, Closing Prayer
Thanks again for the opportunity, thanks all for the effort and support. Be men!
