Friendless Dora

WARMUP: ran around parking lot with a few exercises thrown in: butt kickers, high knees, shuffles. Circled up for: SSH, merkins, hillbilly walkers, squats, and some hamstring and back stretches.
THE THANG: Ran over by Indian restaurant (which has been a number of different local establishments but it sounds like this restaurant is PAX approved), we began the fun. Dora concept but no partner. 25x merkins, 25x squats, 25x (count right leg only) flutters. Run to other end of parking lot and rinse/repeat…back and forth for a total of 100x.

Stop 2 was over at the church parking lot – same idea, different exercises. 25x CDD, 25x single count lunges, 25x Freddy (right knee only)…total 100x.

Last stop was in the back parking lot, where the dumpster fumes were at a low. 15x variety merkins (5 diamond, 5 wide arm, 5 ranger), 30x variety claves (10 out, 10 reg, 10 in), 25x LBC. Run and rinse/repeat 4 total times.

Chesty deck o cards

Leave a comment

WARMUP:  Quick loop to warm up.  It was 29 and wanted to get the guys warm before we started

Did a little stretching and yoga

THE THANG:
Beaker asked for a 5 min buy-in and with it being cold, I wanted to make sure the guys were warm before we kicked off the deck o’cards. So we lined up at the bottom of the grass hill and ran suicide light poles with burpees at the bottom where you increase by one each time. I believe there were 5 light poles total.

Next we moved to the pavilion and started the deck
❤️- curls
♦️- merkins
☘️- overhead press
♠️- laying down lat raises (fan favorite)

MARY:
Finished with 45 seconds of LBCs
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Read newsletter
COT:
Each shared a praise or prayer and challenged each man to remember those throughout the day.
