Run

At top of hill, accumulate as many squats as you can until the 6 reaches top of hill. Careful descent down the hill.

Continue our mosey down the path to remaining park benches.

Mosey back to Massey hill – lunge to top parking lot where we did merkins, calf raises, and proved to ourselves we got better at navy seal burpees.

Winging it at the Corral

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Quick mozy then mountain climbers, Moroccan Night Clubs, CDD and for the crowd pleaser….SSH
THE THANG: Due to technology issues, the scheduled Q wasn’t there so we winged it and the backblast is unlikely to be fully accurate. I probably should have completed this backblast right after the workout but, oh well.
After warmup we jogged to the side of the Harris Teeter for wall sits. The Pax took turns bear crawling out and doing five merkins while the others stayed “seated”. Burpees then followed the merkins.
Mozy to just in front of the Dollar Store for 11s. We took requests and Senator suggested Diamond merkins and Kermit chose bomb jacks. Laps went from the Dollar Store to the Indian restaurant at the other side of the parking lot.
Once completed, we returned to the side of HT for BTW countdowns, overhead claps and likely other stuff I don’t immediately remember.
With time remaining, we did mini 7s running from the side of HT to the other side of the street. (Again, I’m not recalling what exercises we did but we took requests for inclusivity)
With a few minutes remaining we returned to COT for boxcuttahs, hello Dollys and flutters.
Despite no actual plan, it turned out to be a good beatdown and everyone got something out of it.
MARY: Yep
ANNOUNCEMENTS: All the usual stuff
COT: Kermit’s friend and her health, quality time with kids.

Big 5-0

Leave a comment

Move everyone and everything to back corner of panera lot. Warm-up was run one lap slick, ruck one lap, ruck one lap with sandbags. Then 5 rounds of 10 merkins w/ruck, 10 overhead presses, and 10 swings. Ruck a lap with sandbag, ruck a lap, then run a lap slick. Next we partnered up and did some heavy movements. Then I guess we did the stupid shit according to Sofrito. But it was some team based moving of sandbags used at a couple ruck events. It was definitely new to some guys but based on the complaints it was fun. I probably missed a few guys in the tags but i sincerely appreciate everyone who came out to wish me a happy birthday today. Im truly blessed to be apart of this group.
