Only Took A Week And Half To Write This Up

WARMUP: Started with a warmup lap around the track for 1/4 mile. Then we did 15 Hand Release merkins, 15 Cherry Pickers, 15 Hill Billy Walkers, Moraccian NightClubs , and 15 Over Head Claps

THE THANG: Usually this AO does Broga prior to the boot camp version of workout. I opted for 20 minutes of Broga afterwards as I prefer to stretch with warm muscles to get a deeper stretch. So here’s what we did. After the warmup had Pax mosey over to football field for a exercise I found called The Red Bruchetta: It goes like this,

Start at one end zone run to other end zone and do 100 SSH’s, run back to starting end zone and plank while waiting for six to return.
Next run to the opposite 25 yard line and do 75 Mountain Climbers run back and plank on elbows till 6 is in
Go to 50 yard line and do 50 LBC’s return and do Hello Dollys till 6 is in.
Go to 25 yard line do 25 Monkey Humpers return and do Flutter Kicks
Go to 15 yard line do 15 Burpees and return and do Penguins in cadence.
This took about 25 minutes to do which left about 20 minutes of Broga to wrap it all up. Thanks Bodywash for the Q.

Tabatas w/ Cindy

WARMUP: BandCamp warmed us up well with Broga, so it was SSH in Cadence x 25 and we were ready.
THE THANG: Took the Tabata theme I Q’d earlier in the week @ Bushwood to Varsity. Sorry Bobber. Since we were at Varsity thought what the hell, let’s throw in exercises with Cindy.

1 Tabata Round = 3 different exercises, 2 sets of each exercise backtoback, and then 1 set of each exercise all the way through for a total of 9 sets. 30 secs on and 10secs of rest = 4 1/2 min of exercise w/ 1 1/2 min of rest.
In between Tabata rounds we went to the pull up bars to monkey around. The flow is below:

1st Tabata Round
1st Exercise: CurltoCleantoPress with Cindy
2nd Exercise: Dead Lifts w/ 3 Rows completed at the bottom of the dead lift before coming back up with Cindy
3rd Exercise: Alt. forward lunge with a full rotational twist ( twist to both sides while holding the lunge position ) with Cindy

1 Pull up – 2 Knees to Chest
1 Pull up – 3 Knees to Chest
1 Pull up – 4 Knees to Chest
1 Pull up – 5 Knees to Chest
1 Pull up
Completed 2 Rounds of the above.

2nd Tabata Round
1st Exercise: Kraken Man Makers – Man Maker performed with 3 block merkins.
2nd Exercise: BigBoy Situp into an American Hammer with Cindy ( At the apex of your BigBoy Situp complete an American Hammer, then come back down )
3rd Exercise: Sumo squats w/ 3 pulses at the bottom with Cindy pressed overhead

2nd Pull Up Bar Routine – Challenged Pax to stay on the bar to complete 1 round.
3 close grip chin ups, walk hands out on the bar to shoulder width apart and then perform 3 reg. chin ups, walk hands out on the bar to a wide grip and then perform 3 wide grip chin ups.
Completed 2 rounds of the above

3rd Tabata Round ( only had time enough to complete 1 set of each exercise )
1st Exercise: Perform a Merkin but hold at 6 inches and complete a Peter Parker, then complete the Merkin.
2nd Exercise: KB swings with Cindy
3rd Exercise: Perform a straight leg lift and hold with legs at apex, with Cindy in hand perform a crunch in an effort to reach your toes, then lower and upper halves come back to rest position ( rest position for lower half is 6 inches – don’t let your feet hit the ground )

MARY: N/A
