Disclaimer shared, The Yard Historian Minutes
WARMUP:
10 of each:
MNC
Wind Mills
Cherry Pickers
Hillbilly Walkers
Imperial Walkers

THE THANG:
4 Recess games of Yesterday

  • Game 1 — Red Light, Green Light: Everyone lines up on one end of the lot/field. Green Light = mosey/run. Yellow Light = walking lunges. Red Light = freeze and do 3 squats. If someone gets caught moving on Red Light: 3 burpees for everybody. Keep it moderate by making this more ridiculous than fast.
  • Game 2 — Four Square: Mark four corners roughly 20–30 yards apart. Each corner gets an exercise: 10 Merkins → 15 Squats → 20 LBCs → 10 Carolina Dry Docks. Travel between corners using different “playground transportation”: bear crawl for a short section, side shuffle, backward mosey, regular mosey. Complete 2–3 rounds.
  • Game 3 — Dodgeball Without the Dodgeball: Split into two teams on opposite sides. Q calls an exercise—plank, squat hold, Al Gore, etc. One PAX from each team races to the center and plays Rock-Paper-Scissors. Winner returns; loser does 5 reps of a called penalty exercise before returning. Next two PAX go. Completely unnecessary competition will naturally become extremely serious. 😂
  • Game 4 — Sharks & Minnows: One or two PAX are Sharks in the middle. Everyone else crosses the Yard. Tagged PAX do 5 squats + 5 Merkins and become Sharks. No tackling, diving or NFL combine nonsense—just tagging. Last Minnow standing gets absolutely nothing except bragging rights.

MARY:

  • Dips, Gas PUMPERS, Burpees, Heel Touch, Calf Raises, Merkins, LBCs variations

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Anniversary 9/29

Blue Oyster Cult & Volleyball

Leave a comment

Music: Amazon Playlist (curated by Jim Cooke) “Blue Oyster Cult” The playlist is long. We just listened to the beginning.

Warmup:

  • Mountain Climbers
  • Big Boy Sit-ups
  • Imperial Walkers
  • Hillbilly Walkers
  • Windmills
  • LBC
  • Mosey a lap

Dora: 80-160-240

  • 80 Merkin
  • 160 Squat
  • 240 LBC

As each partner returns from their run, the partners pause. They take a volleyball and try to bump, set or hit back and forth until there is a fault. They may then add their number of successful touches in order to take away from their numbers.

Mosey a little bit.

Elevens.

  1. Merkins & Calf Raises
