All about Mark’s Ass

This morning started innocently enough. Good group of PAX showed up and as we were about to get started Change Order mentions his butt was sore from all the squats and lunges yesterday. So we mosey over to behind the tire shop to warm up. He immediately says he’s not sure he can do step ups on the wall so we start with windmills…then do step-ups. It all pretty much went downhill from here. Series of exercises using the wall: windmills, step-ups, SSHs, derkins, squats, inkerins, mtn climbers, more step-ups, overhead claps. From there mosey to the far end behind the center, past the ever-ripe dumpsters, for some shredder sets.

First set – 10 hand release merkins, 9 mtn climbers, 8 hr merkins, 7 mtn climbers…..down to 1 mtn climber then finish with 10 hr merkins.
2nd set – Legs, more Change Order mumblechatter: 10 squats, 9 lunges, 8 squats…..1 lunge then 10 squats.
3rd set – 10 hello dollies, 9 freddie mercs, 8 hello dollies….1 freddie merc then 10 hello dollies. Keep feet off ground for entire sequence.

Mosey up to parking lot in front of church. Series of cards on far end of lot. Each card has a group exercise and a hold exercise. While 1 PAX runs to get card, rest of PAX do the hold exercise. Then when PAX returns we do the group exercise. Group exercises were 10 burpees, 15 diamond merkins, 15 jump squats, etc while hold exercises were plank punches, squats, SSHs, etc. However it worked out the first couple of cards were mostly leg exercises so Change Order was really happy to talk about his ass soreness some more. Finished a round of this and then moseyed back to COT for a few abs. A little light on the miles today but we got in everything else. Thanks for the opportunity to lead today Slow Jams!
