Buckets (again)

WARMUP: We warmed up

Went to the now famous buckets workout.

Three buckets were placed around Kingsley. Upon arrival the packs found various exercises on paper slips that were pulled from the buckets at random. The goal was to spread the buckets around so that we got at least a mile if not a mile and a half of running for the workout.

Included in bucket 1:
Box cutters and burpees
Mtn climbers and grave diggers
Donkey kicks and merkins
LBCs and dying cockroaches

Bucket 2:
Donkey kicks and squats
Calf raises and Weezy Jeffersons
Butt kickers and Peter pointers

Bucket 3:
Burpees of various counts
Shoulder taps
Lbc’s

All thoroughly enjoyed. Good news…I believe they will all continue to post at the Fort.

Many thanks to the President and CEO of gloomschedule, <@U08G28Z7E> for the opportunity.

Casey Kasem Dominates The Workout (finally)

WARMUP:
– Windmills
– Cherry Pickers
– Imperial Walkers
– Hillbilly Walkers
– Calf Raises
– Mosey to amphitheater sidewalk for The Thang

THE THANG:
– Travel to playground (ironically stolen from <@U06Q8DSSV5Y>)
– Begin with 5 squats then mosey to 2nd tree on the left-hand side of sidewalk –> 5 squats
– Mosey back to 1st tree –> 3 merkins
– Mosey to 3rd tree –> 5 squats
– Mosey back to 2nd tree –> 3 merkins
– You get the idea. The intent is to execute in drill-like fashion and demonstrate organized chaos to every man that’s at WEP and compel them to join F3.

UPDATE: this strategy was not successful

– Playground yoga stretch
– Down Dog
– Walk it out
– Up Dog
– Down Dog

– Bring right foot to right hand and reach arms to the sky – chest forward – Warrior I
– Turn torso to the left (head forward) and extend arms outward – Warrior II
– Front (right) arm reaches up and back while back arm rests on back leg – Peaceful Warrior
– Hands to the ground – Runners Lunge
– Right arm to the sky – Side Angle Stretch
– Hands to the ground – Runners Lunge
– Right foot to the back – Down Dog

– Repeat moves by bringing left foot to left hand…

It should be noted that at this point the workout became, shall we say, more spontaneous.

– Continued traveling via squats and merkins, then switched to HIIT at a couple of bench swings:
– 10 merkins
– 20 shoulder taps
– 20 squats

– It became apparent an audible was in order so at the next swing we did 15 Moroccan Nightclubs and 25 shoulder presses.

– Repeat Nightclubs and presses at next swing, then lunge-walked to the last swing before the fence halted our tour around WEP.

– Mosey to small pavilion and did some Curb Alperts, dips, and more Nightclubs and presses.

– Mosey to flag for Mary

MARY: Freddie Mercuries, Hello Dollies, Rosalitas, Big Boys/LBC

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Golf tournament, HIM Camp, and BBQ, Beans, Banana Pudding, Bourbon, & <@U5MQ8FHV0>
COT: closing prayer
