The parking lot is always smoother in the other corner

WARMUP: Some side straddle hops, windmills, imperial walkers, hillbilly walkers, Moroccan nightclubs and cherry pickers to loosen things up

THE THANG:

Used the ol’ Seconds Pro app to provide a TABATA workout with 50 seconds on 20 seconds rest ratio. After every 4th exercise we would rotate to the next corner of the parking lot. It should be noted that I used an Apple playlist and the app appeared to have undergone an update since last use… By the time I discovered the errors with both of these items we had come too far (I already pushed start) and the only option was to press forward for the next 40 minutes… We made it through a full cycle and 3/4.

Merkins
Squats
Flutter
Donkey Kick
Rotate
Calf Raises
Mountain Climbers
Side Straddle Hops
Al Gore
Rotate
Box Cutter
Plank Jacks
Lunges
Dry Dock
Rotate
Seal Jacks
High Knees
Monkey Humpers
Freddie Mercury
Rinse and Repeat

Things learned:
-the update changed the default voice from an Australian lady to a deep voiced male… not as fun to be told to do monkey humpers by a deep voiced male
-Apple includes U2’s One as a 90’s Rock/Alternative Essential, and while a great song, it is not terribly motivating… however it is very long…
-the update also messed up the volume of the coach voice anyway, so everyone just had to listen to me yelling over U2 anyway…

COT: It happened… we were all there…

Lunges, shoulder presses, curls, merkins, squats. Before it was over he was calling cadence like a natural. Great VQ after only a month of posting. Look forward to many more.

Two Fish Swimming Upstream

At 0515, YHC was the Loan Rucker, so I quickly throw my ruck in the back of the truck and sprinted to catch up with the Sweep the Leg Pax. As I was about to join the group, I headlight came flying by me, Flounder on his bike. I quickly turned around and ran back to AO start.
We started our ruck journey a bit late, but covered 2.0 miles around the Baxter circle and stops at the pool parking lot for sets of merkins and squats. In addition, we had alot of time to discuss our vacations, Flounder’s workout schedule with his M, and 3rd F bible reading Cakeboss discussed with us on the way back to COT.
Great discussion and workout today.
