Homo Sapien does NOT melt in rain, drizzle or from a wet arse

Do you ever ride a high from a funny, proud or specific moment of the day?

It rained right before my bell Q started today. 2nd warm-up exercise was LBCs. Holy cow! that was the funniest moment I have seen in years, 7 grown men “chattering” about sitting in a puddle, you would think they were just dropped into a grave full of snakes. Still on a high. If you see me randomly laughing at a workout over the next week, you know the vision I am thinking about.

Any whoooo …

warm up, stuff like:
imperial walker, LBC, hillbilly walker, shoulder tap, LS squat, dying cockroach (there it goes again), morrocan NC, plank stretch

then we lifted stuff up and put it down:
curls, BO rows, chest press (standing and on 6), flutter with bell high (yup once again), goblet squat, around the world, tricep extentions, each arm dead lifts, good morning, side lunge, plank row

In between we did bootcampish stuff: burpees, flying squirrels, merkins, carolina DD, mahktar N’diayes, kneetar n’diayes (some did this) , bombjacks, jump squats, BB sits

wrapped it up with Assassin suicides with the bell
merkins, tricep extensions, curls
and goblet, chest press, around t world

Looks like we made it,

Spooky Halloween Dance Party

Leave a comment

Today at the Ballroom, we took the AO name seriously and had a Halloween dance party. All movements were done in cadence with the music. The list of movements were as follows, and the order was totally arbitrary.

Step touch
SSH
Thrillers
Overhead claps with step touch
Hillbilly walkers
Side straddle hops
Jumping lunges
Grave diggers
Imperial walkers
Merkins
LBCs
Squats
Zombie walks
Mountain climbers
Bomb jacks
Shoulder taps
Plank jacks
Speed skaters

As always, I disclaim “anything you say can and will be used against you”. I exercised this statement to throw in some burpees by popular request.

at the call of “aaaand that’s 6 O’clock”, some PAX were surprised that we were already finished.

Playlist available upon request

Cold + mumblechatter (whiners) = SlowBurn

Leave a comment

The cold and the complaining was out in full force this morning. Great effort by … most

The first thing I did when I got home was was my sweatshirt, with my Weinke, so you get the cliff notes …

Warm-up:
The pattern was 1. exercise on your feet 2. exercise on your 6 3. exercise on your feet 4. exercise in the plank position 5. rinse/repeat

We did stuff like: imperial walker, hillbilly walker, Travolta, shoulder tap, SSH, LBC, Mahktar N’Diaye, squats, sumo squats, Morrocan NC, OH Claps. Stuff like that. Mostly in dozens.

Then onto the those exercises that were rejected by the nation’s Exicon
Patrick Swayze: Karaoke L, Karaoke R, Power Skip, NUR with arms out
Jonah Hill: 3 broad jumps, 3 merkins, 7x
Matt Foley: 1 animated squat, 4 dying cockroach, 2-8, 3-12, 4-16, 5-20

Then a round of Assassin suicides, squats, imp walkers, OH claps, or something like that, super easy

Over to 4 corners where some actual did the work and some walked from corner to corner chit chatting
15 BB Sits, 15 Jump squats, 15 bombjacks, 15 merkins, 5 flying squirrels in the middle

To the wall for a sit and 2 burpees from each end, rinse/repeat

Back for 2 rounds of Assassin merkins
LBCs, HELLO DOLLY!, BB Sits
Donkey kicks, shoulder taps, mountain climbers

SlowBurn was my first AO I attended, SlowBurn was my first site Q, and has always been a great Friday workout. Thanks Weezer for the lead.

Looks like we made it,
