Feeding the Soul

WARMUP: Intro, disclaimer and we started walking!
THE THANG: The idea was to get in some milage with stopping oiunt of exercises of 10’s. Went over to the new medical center. 1st stop- all 10 count- MNC, OHC, Seal Clap, Plank, and 6in plank. Kept moving to the far lot for ruck work with OHpress, rows and tricep extensions. Then back to the Panera lot for more wor, up the hill with ruck over head and on to the last two stops. We went to the bottom of the hill near Sunbelt where there was a change with 20 calf raises and leg work. Up the hill to the roundabout for some ab work!

BDE at the Stockade

We had 9 at the Stockade for one of the last days of 2023

Started off with a basic warmup.

Short Mosey around the parking lot back in front of the Dance studio.

15 IC SSH
10 IC Windmills
5 Burpees OYO
15 IC Seal Jacks
10 IC MNC
5 Burpees OYO
15 IC Plank Jacks
Stretch
15 IC Mnt Climbers

First Routine

12 Days of Christmas. This is where the Mumblechatter got dialed up a notch.

Basic 12 days of Christmas set up. Started with day one and got to day 12. Reps of a given exercise matched the day.

Day 1 Burpees
Day 2 Burpees
Day 3 Burpees
Day 4 Burpees
Day 5 ( 5 Count rest)
Day 6 Squats
Day 7 SSH
Day 8 IW
Day 9 Calf Raises
Day 10 LBc’s
Day 11 Flutters
Day 12 BBS

I set this up so after day 5 we ended each “round” with 10 Burpees. Again, this was a crowd pleaser.

We then took a short mosey around the parking lot again for the second routine of the morning.

This format was similar to the Laredo workout but obviously modified.

4 rounds

25 Merkins
25 Squats
25 BBS

Lap that we just did in the parking lot.

It was here I put on some music for the PAX as we did these exercises.

With only 5ish minutes to go I got us back to COT for a 4-minute AMRAP. I would call out an exercise and we would max out reps.
Minute 1- HR Merkins
Minute 2 – Flutters
Minute 3- HR Merkins
Minute 4- Plank.

COT: Show some BDE guys and share whats on your hearts. Be specific. As someone said in COT today you can’t get specific help if you don’t have a specific ask.

AYE!

Always fun to lead.

Thanks to all of you!

12 days of Christmas

WARMUP:  Quick mozy followed by SSH, low slow squats, Moroccan night clubs
THE THANG:  Overhead ruck around the smaller parking lot loop.  Every time you lower your ruck, do two burpees.
Mozy to front school entrance closest to the baseball field.   Challenge was to know the 12 days of Christmas song and what happened on the first, second, third, etc day of Christmas.  To start, the group decided what the first day answer is (partridge in a pear tree) and ran to the first post in front of the school to check their answer.  The answer was correct, so the Pax did one lunge, rucked back to the fire hydrant, dropped their ruck, then ran back to the start.  Rinse and repeat with the second day of Christmas (turtle doves).  Run back to pick up ruck then run to the second post to check the answer.  There the Pax did 1 lunge and 2 ruck getups.  Rinse and repeat with cumulative exercises to the 12th day.  
  Exercises were 1 lunge, 2 ruck getups, 3 Diamond merkins, 4 flutters with press, 5 ruck swings, 6 plank jacks, 7 upright rows, 8 triceps presses, 9 curls, 10 8-count burpees, 11 ruck swings (whoops, didn’t mean to repeat), and 12 curb dips.
 Pax did great until 9 “ladies dancing”, when the penalty was to run back to the start for five  burpees then return.  11 and 12 weren’t any better, but with us running out of time, we did stationary burpees instead.
MARY:  Out dancing with the ladies
ANNOUNCEMENTS:  Lots!
COT:  Marriages, travel, family visiting.
