Tag me in coach and a bday boy bonus

Leave a comment

WARMUP: As Pax gathered, the mumblechatter intensified. It was going to be one of those mornings which is always fun and encouraging. YHC rec’d the bat signal call from Esso to sub-Q due to prior commitments and who can say no to that guy. Plus the opportunity to Q these group of merry men, can’t turn that down!

Ran over to the church, avoided any cars, did some high stepping and butt kickers on the way, and circled up in the parking lot. Did some SSH, cherry pickers, squats, merkins, back stretches.
THE THANG: Ran over to the benches and did a rinse and repeat (just 2x) of: step ups (20), incline merkins (20), dips (20).

Ran around the turnabout at the church to kick off pearls on a string. Exercises consisted of: 10 bomb jacks, 20 diamond merkins, 30 hammers, 40 squats (note to self, this was a lot), 52 flutters (for Anchorman bday boy), 60 calf raises. So at each stop, we added on the exercises and then went down for a few after we got to 60. The stops included: church, entrance to grocery, water fountain at apartment complex, fake stop at neighborhood on the back left from fountain so ran back to fountain, fire station house, parking lot of daycare, road behind gas station, back to COT.
MARY: quick Mary led by Slow Jams
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Patience for parents, kids, teachers
COT: Yes, completed this and even got a quick show from Senator!

100 yards of fun

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Quick mozy around the perimeter of the band practice area (parking lot/football field).  Brief warmup of mountain climbers followed by squats and plank jacks.

THE THANG:
– Partner leapfrog starting in the endzone with partner 1 lunge walking to the 10 yard line and doing 10 merkins.  He then runs to the 20 yard line.  At the same time, partner 2 does 10 merkins in the endzone then runs to the 10 and lunge walks to the 20.  Flip flop until full length of field covered.  
– With minor confusion after round 1, we modified and returned as a group to the original start with bear crawls, jogging and 15 squats every 20 yards.

– Cones were then set out every 10 yards to the 50 with one exercise on each. Pax would run to the 10 and do 10 reps of the exercise shown, then run to the far end of the field to reach the next 10 yard line and repeat the exercise. Pax would then repeat coming back down the opposite side of the field and stop at each 10 yard line for 10 reps.
– After a full lap, Pax moved to the 20 and did 20 reps at each 20. Laps and reps increased until we reached the 50.
– Exercises and total reps completed:
– 10 yard line: 8-count burpees (40 total)
– 20 yard line: squats (80 total)
– 30 yard line: plank jacks (120 total)
– 40 yard line: SSH (160 total)
– 50 yard line: Merkins (100 total)

– With a little time remaining we returned to the end zone and bear crawled the length of the lot. At each 10 yard line we did 10 LBCs. (100 total)

– Closed things out by walking back the length of the field/lot to COT. On the walk we discussed empathy and the importance of understanding other’s perspectives to provide insights into their beliefs and actions. Pax was encouraged to apply it at home, work and while traveling on I-77 during rush hour.
