Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast

WARMUP: Yes, it was cold and these bones don’t move without waking up the muscles and joints first.
THE THANG: BassO posted the morning after eye surgery with a plan to get some fellowship at the start and finish and walk the school campus solo in between due to an activity restriction from his doc. His plan became the perfect timing mechanism as the other 5 worked in short bursts interspersed with periods of catching up to BassO on the move. We did lots of core, lots of Moroccan Night Clubs, a sequence on the benches, and a series on the picnic tables as we traversed campus. Along the way we swapped experience and wisdom around the benefits of slowing down even as the season, the economy, and the world in general send us messages to speed up. Sawdust was a man of wisdom and humor throughout:
1. From one of his military leaders: ” Slow is smooth and smooth is fast”
2. He researched the proper form of Moroccan Night Clubs while interacting with a dual citizen from Morocco last week.
3. He skillfully pointed out that the planet in the sky Tater was asking about was “Your Anus”. Could there be a better way to start a dark, still, cold Tuesday morning?
MARY: Yes, we wore her out!
COT: Read your newsletter, then show up somewhere outside the Gloom!

Thanks for the invite Boogied Down and for keeping The Ballroom hot!

The Comforts of Home

WARMUP: Yes
THE THANG: We moseyed to parking lots across the road as well as Lowes, strip center and other glorious spots proximate to Slow Burn’s Shovel Flag, stopping along the way for a feast of derkins, lunges, bear crawls and other standard fare. The peak of the festivities involved a round robin where each pax picked an exercise then called cadence for the # of reps that matched the # of years he’s been posting. Yes, Twister’s portion was heard in Tega Cay.
MARY: Yes
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Xmas party, Clave Boss, and more!
COT: It felt great to be back in the Gloom after 8 nights DR for work, experiencing the joys of a weekend kickoff with the Slow Burn spirit. And that spirit remains strong thanks to leadership from Peach Stand. Thanks for the Q stick!

F45 Cornucopia Workout

Cold morning at Slow Burn. I set up a number of workout stations in the parking. I was tempted to set it up outside F45, but I decided not to start the day being an A-Hole (wait for the sun to rise).
Started with a mosey around the buildings, back to the start point for COP (SSH, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, and Plank Stretches).
Next, we partnered up for the workout stations. Partner 1 ran a lap around the parking lot while Partner 2 performed the exercise. Rotation after both partners completed exercises.

1. Squat with 60# sandbag
2. Box jump/set up
3. Kettlebell Curl
4 Jump Rope
5. Plate Crunch
6. Ab Wheel
7. 40# Sandbag Burpee

We covered cover 2 miles and 2 rounds of exercises
