Orange is the new NC State Red

Leave a comment

WARMUP: mossy to playground for SSH, IW, HW, merkins
THE THANG: Each PAX completed 10 pull-ups then ran the path. For round 1, 15 merkins at each swing. Complete another 10 pull-ups and repeat path with 20 LBCs at each swing. Complete another 10 pull-ups and repeat path with 15 squats. Wrap it up with 10 pull-ups. Not sure Dark Helmet completed pull-ups or proper merkins since he was in the dark the entire time. Slapshot was leader as he’s trying to encourage PSU football team to whip up on that school to the south (No Pusher that doesn’t mean South Carolina) – Ohio State. Maximus wore the new NC State colors orange for his failed bet on them beating Clemson (but the ACC is a basketball conference not football conference 🤷‍♂️). Band camp never stops pushing PAX and Kermit is still in cloud 9 for Tennessee (the real orange) for beating the other school to the south (again, not South Carolina nor Georgia). Bobber even posted and complained that the monkey bars were wet (isn’t he a fisherman? Aren’t they always wet?)
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: skeet shooting sign ups!! Shower curtain collecting coats
COT: prayers for Shower Curtain continued healing, balance – even better harmony.

Spooky Halloween Dance Party

Leave a comment

Today at the Ballroom, we took the AO name seriously and had a Halloween dance party. All movements were done in cadence with the music. The list of movements were as follows, and the order was totally arbitrary.

Step touch
SSH
Thrillers
Overhead claps with step touch
Hillbilly walkers
Side straddle hops
Jumping lunges
Grave diggers
Imperial walkers
Merkins
LBCs
Squats
Zombie walks
Mountain climbers
Bomb jacks
Shoulder taps
Plank jacks
Speed skaters

As always, I disclaim “anything you say can and will be used against you”. I exercised this statement to throw in some burpees by popular request.

at the call of “aaaand that’s 6 O’clock”, some PAX were surprised that we were already finished.

Playlist available upon request

Stone Cold Stunner=Burpees

Leave a comment

WARMUP:

50 SSH IC
40 Mt. Climbers IC
30 MNC IC
20 Flutters IC
10 Merkins IC

15 burpees

Mosey to the bottom of the entrance Hill.

Started a ladder to the top of the hill. At each light pole did the following reps

5
10
15
20
25
30
Round 1 was HR Merkins
Once at the top of the hill we did the same thing with Squats.

After this we did a brief mosey to the handicapped parking lot by the football field. Did some bomb jacks to make it fun.

With 15 minutes left we got back to COT for a Tabata Series. 30 seconds on 10 seconds rest. We did 5 minutes of merkins/shoulders then 5 minutes of Abs/Core.

So much like your favorite professional wrestlers growing up who all had their own signature finishing move (stone cold stunner for example) I too have a finishing move that ensures “victory”.

To finish the workout we did a 5 minute EMOM 10 burpees every minute.

The Pax were delighted.

Thanks to Yardsale for the call.

Until next time!

COP
1:4 – 5:20 Burpees:SSH

“Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18:1‬ ‭‬‬

Lately, YHC has been feeling a bit out of sorts, and some of that has lead to isolation. Not excited about it in the least. But when things don’t seem to go our way, the verse rings true. We fall back into the comfort of isolation, listening to only our own voice – breaking out against all sound judgment. Accepting advice from no one.

Hill Suicides
Each Median Break
10, 20, 30 Merkins/LBC’s at each turning point.
10, 20, 30 Curb Dips/Flutters

“The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭20:5‬ ‭‬‬

We will drown if we do it alone. We must seek wise counsel – drawing out understanding by rubbing shoulders with other wise men. We cannot do this alone. We are fools if we think we can beat the odds.

Round 2
10, 20, 30 CDD’s/Hello Dollies
10, 20, 30 Squats/Rosalitas

“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
Proverbs 27:17

On the way back to COT, did some lunge walks, squats, active recovery pulses.

MARY: Finished off with gas pumpers and WWI Sit-ups

COT
Prayers for Cyclops’ 2.0 and mental health
Prayers for UHAUL’s buddy – son going through some health issues
Prayers for YHC that isolation not get the best of me
