Lots of Lightposts

Five men showed up on a crisp morning right before sunrise. We moseyed out to the main road stopping at each light pole for an exercise. The rep count was low so we focused on good form. We headed back to the school performing exercises at each lightpole back to the main lot.
With five minutes remaining, we repeated multiple rounds of dips, Mike Tyson’s, and wall taps.
Great job guys!

Frozen tundra mumblechatter

WARMUP: An adventurous warmup of circle runs and

SSH
IW
Tunnel touches
Merkins
Mtn Climbers
Overhead claps

One man ran two circles around us wilst we completed the various exercises.

THE THANG: We moseyed to the center of the park and partnered up. One partner ran half sped across the park whilst the other partner counted to 5 and then chased them down, completing the run to the concrete track. Jogged back. Repeated until everyone was annoyed.

Moseyed to the hill where the partners participated in the now trademarked “Indian Land Butt Sniffers Bear Crawl Uphill” :tm:

Then lunges uphill.

At playground – partners did planks, dips and grave diggers whilst partner ran around the playground.

The Mary was one set of flutter kicks.

Perhaps <@UGU3XR5RP> will have some comments but it was clear this was his favorite workout in months.

Dear Abby joined! We got a Chicago report.

We had the privilege of COT to express prayers for fellow Pax and also for Mrs DD.

Food drive to come!

One lap is all it takes

WARMUP: ssh, wind mills, imp walkers, plank, up and down dog, Peter Parker’s
THE THANG: we moseyed one lap around the large loop around the pond and LPL (counter clockwise) starting at cot. We stopped at every other street light and did some exercises

Along the first road ( through the row of restaurants, etc) we did 1 burpee, 2 bomb jacks, 3 big boys, 4 merkins and 5 squats

Along the second road towards the back of Kingsley, we did all the previous things, and added 6 side straddle hops.

We stopped along the way at the rip rap for a quick and painful interlude where we each grabbed a rock and carried it over our heads up to the LPL parking sign and back. We then continued our journey.

Along the next road, across the back of LPL, we did the previous 6 exercises at the designated street lights and added 7 monkey humpers.

Finally, along the road back to cot, we did these same 7 exercises, but doubled the rep count of each

We did one last set when we arrived back at cot and then we caught our breath, wiped the sweat from our brows and enjoyed the sunrise.

It’s about community

WARMUP: The heartstrings got loosened up out of the gates as Warning Track unloaded some baggage from a tough week, acknowledging the challenges of Living Right through the Flux of life and the importance of showing up this morning to be lifted up by his brothers. He followed up with the Obligatory SSHs and then set off from WEP.

THE THANG:

WT took the pax to the old Pike Elec parking lot stopping for some windmills, burpees and other fun enroute.

Pax broke into groups of 3 for a modified Dora across the parking lot. Midway through WT called audible due to pax incompetence and simplified to Dora in groups of 2. Terrible things like Merkins, squats, lunges, flutters, burpees, etc were unleashed on the pax

WT took pax to Memorial Park for more burpees and more shared pax stories of Why they come out to the Gloom on a wet Sat morning.

DD took the reins and moved the pax to a series of parking lots (pharmacy), Pike front courtyard, Town Hall back wall for pain stops including shoulder taps, wall sits, plank jacks, burpees, mtn climbers, peter parkers, Parker peters, etc.

Pax returned to WEP to appreciate JWOW’s lovely Christmas tree. Two rounds of partner work included bear crawls around tree + flutters followed by crawl bears around tree + HR merkins.

Mosey to grass in front of band shell for more partner work (merkins, shoulder taps, sit ups) interspersed with some burpees and lap around band shell. Finished off with Knee Tar N’dyae and Mahktar N’dyae.

Mosey home

MARY: included throughout

ANNOUNCEMENTS: coffeteria at HC

COT: great morning where we welcomed 3 FNGs + a Kotter while pax from 30s to 50s mixed it up and pushed each other to get 1% better.

“Our youth are our present” I heard my pastor say from the pulpit recently. Note he did NOT say “our future.” It’s as true in The Fort and in our community as it is in NYC with a 34 yr old mayor. Younger pax, you ARE leaders today — embrace your opportunity and duty. Seasoned pax — your leadership focus IS about bringing along the next generation of leaders — embrace your opportunity and duty.
We are blessed men to have these roles at this time.

Thanks to JWOW for the opportunity and Warning Track for the partnership.

Love you brothers!
