Cards at WEP

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Stretchy things
THE THANG: Lap around park stopping at swings alternating between 20 merkins and 20 squats. Mosey over to lot in front of old springs building. 17 bombjacks, 17 plankjacks,and 17 v-ups. Take a lap. Repeat with 15s then again with 13s. One additional round of 17 dips, 17 calf raises, and 17 flutters them mosey back to amphitheater. Simple in between card game. Start with a pot of exercises (laps, burpees, merkins, squats, lbcs). Flip 2 cards and PAX wager if next card is between the values. If next card is inbetween, then group does wagered exercises and pot is reduced. If card is outside, group does wager but pot grows. Intention was to do everything left in the pot when cards were done but I overestimated both number of reps and basic card math of PAX. I’ll try this again but I learned I need to make some adjustments.

Three lessons and……burpees

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey to Kimbrell’s parking lot. The following exercises in candence with burpees in between.

Windmills
Cherry Pickers
Imperial Walkers
Hillbilly Walkers
Seal Jacks
Side Straddle Hops

THE THANG: Mosey to the site formerly known as Footloose

Lesson 1 – Treat the body rigorously so it does not fail the mind.

Partner DORA – 50 burpees, 100 squats, 150 flutter kicks

Mosey to the top of the hill at the parking lot on Monroe White for lesson 2.

Lesson 2 – You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

7’s in the lot – Burpees on one end, NUR to the other lunges on the opposite end. Note – Tesla is fast.

Mosey to Print Shop parking lot for LBC’s in cadence and rosalitas in cadence.

Mosey to the Millstone downtown. Touch the Millstone and do two burpees.

Mosey to the Parking Lot on Massey for Lesson 3

Lesson 3 – You should not give circumstances the power to rouse anger. For they do not care at all.

19 merkins of different types at each light pole.
This idea looked better on paper than in reality and the 559 bell rang while in the midst of attempting completion of these. PAX headed back to COT to make the 0600 deadline.

MARY: Was left at the Print Shop
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many – read your newsletter
COT: always the 5th core principle

Cubbie – thanks for the call. Always a privilege to lead.
