Thermostat read 22 degrees at 0500hrs, but Cake Boss had Johnny Cash playing early and we never felt it. YHC was curious who, or how many would show in these conditions, but was pleasantly surprised with 12 faithful, including some newish PAX and some Upper Management that brought the mumblechatter!
This is “Q-School,” let’s get the disclaimer correct.
DISCLAIMER: I am not a professional – you are participating at your own risk – you are responsible for your own well-being – you are here voluntarily, and you are not paying to be here – know your limits and do the best you can – modify as necessary.
WARMUP: Let’s mosey. Loop around the student parking lot. Plank in a Circle of Pain for the 6. With the 6 in, went over The Mission and the 5 Core Principles – in order!
– 20 SHH IC
– 10 Windmills IC
The mumblechatter was excessive here. No clue how many Windmills we actually did, so… 5 burpees OYO. It did its job and quieted the PAX, for a moment.
– 10 LSS IC
– 10 Hillbilly Walkers IC
– 10 MNC IC
– Yoga – Reminded the PAX of the DRP and why we’re here; to GET RIGHT.
THE THANG: Mosey to Pull-up Bars – Plank for the 6.
Discussed various types of workout formats, i.e. Pearls on a String, 7s or 11s or 21s, DORA, 4 corners.
We started with 7s this morning – 6 pull ups at the top of the hill, 1 burpee at the bottom. Made sure that we picked up the 6 and completed ALL of the reps.
Instead of asking for a 10 count, YHC continued to preach and advised the PAX of alternate ways to catch a breather if the PAX need it. We discussed properly planning your Q to ensure you have enough to do for the duration of the workout, to wear a watch, to try to address all of the parts of the body in the workout, and again, to leave no man behind.
From there, we partnered up and grabbed a coupon. Completed an AMRAP of the following exercises while your partner ran down to the stop sign and back:
– Derkins with feet on coupon
– Squat with coupon
– Overhead press with coupon
– American Hammers with coupon
