The Armory

WARMUP: SSH, Low Slow Squat, Imperial Walker, Merkin, Peter Parker, Moroccan Nightclubs
THE THANG: Grab your bells and scoot on over to the other side of the parking lot
Pair up by counting off. Poppins has a lame leg so he goes with the ones because there's a pair exercise.

Written in chalk in the parking spaces are seven exercises. They are spaced out so that you have to bell-crawl between them. Every exercise is each side or 20 combined.

  • Run a lap (no bell)
  • 10 shoulder press
  • 10 arm curl
  • 10 chest press
  • 10 bent over row
  • 30 swings
  • 10 electrice slide
  • WHAT? Two iron poles with a sand bag suspended in the middle. Each partner takes a deep step to one side in a deep. One knee at 90º, the other leg straight. Then stand up straight. Then to the other side. That's one.

After a full round is complete, sit down in a tight circle for "pass the Dutchie". One cycle L, R, L, R

One more circuit
Dutchie L, R

One final circuit

Baker Mayfield is not Pence

WARMUP:
SSH, merkins, squats, Broga

THE THANG:
Untraditional 11s. At first I wanted to go all the way through from 10 to 1, but YHC quickly realized I wouldn’t be able to make it so I modified as needed. We worked through the first two exercises from 10 down to 8, then flipped to the next two exercises. Then flip back down for 7-5, then flipped back. Last set was 4 to 1.

We got through two sets of exercises before time ran out.

Merkins alternating hand on bell
Chest press

Second set
Squats
Set ups (each leg as 1)

Next round
Curls
Single arm row (each side)

Swings
Nut cracker

Solid workout and 0 running. According to my watch I burned 600 calories.

MARY:
No time left

Partners, Light poles and Blimps

WARMUP: Mosey to the side of the school for exercises in cadence:
Windmills
Cherry pickers
Imperial walkers
Hillbilly walkers
Seal jacks
Side straddle hops

THE THANG: part 1 – partner up and either people’s chair or BTTW while partner 2 runs to the end of the lot and back. 3 rounds

Part 2 – Blimps at the light poles

At each pole pax added an exercise on the way up and dropped one on the way down. Burpees were never dropped – just because

5 – Burpees
10 – Lunges
15 – Incline Merkins
20 – Merkins (Modified to CDD’s on the downhill portion)
25 – Pulse squats AKA Monkey jumpers
30 – Squats

Two lessons from Seneca shared at the top of the hill

1 – we suffer more in our imagination than in reality

2 – he who suffers before it is necessary suffers more than is necessary.

How often in our lives do we let our perception of events influence us poorly? Our response is all we control – the event doesn’t care how we feel about it.

After 11 light poles worth of “fun”……back to COT

MARY: Just enough time for protractors and rosalitas with just a few hello dolly’s. That took pax to 0715
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many – read your newsletter
COT: 5th core principle

Thanks for the call, Float Bridge. Honored to lead. :eye:
