Recess Time

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

Always stays in COT.

You use your whole body so workout your whole body

WARMUP: SSH, cherry pickers, greatest stretch ever, down dog, honey mooners, mosey to big parking lot above old Pike building

THE THANG: 4 corners each corner focused on a different muscle group and had various exercises. 25 reps each and did it for 5 laps. You would do the first set of exercises on lap 1 then move on to the second set on lap 2 etc…

Corner 1 (with Cindy or bumper plates)
Curls

Bent over rows
Floor bench

Corner 3

After that we partnered up and did a bear crawl really race across the parking lot. Partner 1 started bear crawl while partner 2 ran from one end to the other. Where ever they met on the run back they switched until as a team they made it across the parking lot. All that lost had a 2 burpee punishment.

Moseyed back to WEP stage and did wall sits while raising arms and going up on toes and down. Then a balls to the wall contest. You held balls to the wall as long as you could if you dropped you did burpees until the last man dropped.

Our finisher was a set of 7. In front of the stage you did squats the climbed up wall and ran to back wall of stage for a mike Tyson.

After that we moseyed to flag for core work (arts and crafts for 15min) until 7:30.

MARY: Was glorious

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergence 29th at WEP for The Fort’s birthday party (gifts not required) , read the letter of News every Sunday.

The Hay is in the Barn

With several PAX getting ready to tackle the Blue Ridge Relay this Friday, today’s mission was simple: get moving without cashing any checks the legs need later this week. No heroics. No smoked quads. Save that suffering for the mountains. 😂
We started with an easy mosey and dynamic warm-up — SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Windmills, Toy Soldiers, calf raises, ankle circles and leg swings.
Then it was off to 4 Corners, keeping the travel easy while mixing in:
💪 Merkins & Carolina Dry Docks
🔥 LBCs & Dead Bugs
🦵 Calf Raises & Squats
💪 Incline Merkins & American Hammers
From there we partnered up. One PAX took an easy 100–150 yard out-and-back while his partner worked through Merkins, LBCs and Supermans before switching.
We finished with mobility and some much-needed stretching to send everyone home feeling better than when they arrived.
Solid work by Honky Tonk, Fogerty, Old Bay and Boogie Down this morning. The BRR crew kept the governor on, and nobody fell for YHC’s secret plan to turn a recovery workout into a leg burner.
Good luck to everyone taking on the Blue Ridge Relay Friday. Run smart, enjoy the miles, and bring home some stories!
5 PAX. No injuries. Legs preserved. Mission accomplished.

Next, murder bunnies to each cone, carry overhead back to the start and switch with partner. Partner 2 performed squats and ab exercises while waiting.

Last set, no partners everyone completes – bear crawl to first cone, 3 burpees , crawl bear back. bear crawl to next cone 6 burpees, crawl bear back…so on and so on until the last cone 15 burpees.
