New Year’s Lessons and a triumphant return

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey up the back road and circle up at the light pole of YHC’s choosing.

Exercises in cadence were windmills, hillbilly & imperial walkers, low slow squats, holding people’s chairs with Moroccan night clubs, side straddle hops and seal jacks. And of course – the goofball in honor of <@U028PKR68GJ>’s glorious return to the gloom.

PAX planked for shoulder taps, single count merkins, a few Broga poses and recovered in time to mosey to the wall

THE THANG:
Lesson 1 – “the best remedy for anger is delay” – Seneca

BTTW – hold for 15 seconds and then do 5 d/c Australian Mountain Climbers in cadence, recover, walk it out, back to wall for wall sit for 30 seconds followed by shoulder presses from the wall sit position in cadence.

PAX repeated this sequence once more.

Mosey off to the next lot

Lesson 2 – “he who suffers before it’s necessary suffers more than necessary.” – Seneca

Dora with a partner – because we shouldn’t do life alone. Partner 1 exercises while partner 2 runs. Then flapjack. Rinse and repeat until all exercises were finished.

50 burpees
100 squats
150 double count flutters

All finished and we moseyed to the basketball court and circled up for abs

LBC’s in cadence
Flip over for Superman holds
The following three exercises were done in double count cadence keeping legs in the air at all times until the third exercise was completed
1 – 10 LBC’s in cadence
2 – 10 Hello Dolly’s in cadence
3 – 10 Rosalita’s in cadence

Quick recovery in time for some protractor holds at various angles and recover to head to COT for a 60-second stretch when 0715 was upon us.

MARY: see above, but she was not there. Open to all men.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: We’re announced. Read your newsletter.

COT: remains the fifth core principle

YHC was blessed to start to the first Saturday of 2025 with the HIM of the fort. Thanks <@U07LMG5PDQU> – for the call. :eye:

Impreza blokowa

Leave a comment

We did some work. Run around WEP, performed bunch of merkins, squats, big boy sit ups and dips on every marker in the park. On the parking lot behind the amphitheater came time for  Dora with more squats lunges  and other fun stuff I don’t remember:) I remember bear crawls with merkins on every parking line, though. Then I run out of ideas so “Mary” helped a lot. Bobber asked for some burpees and wall sits on our way to the COT, I could not say no ! Ended up in the parking lot with 3660 steps made by 6 am:)
Sorry for a late entry, thank you forcing me to write it:)

Only Took A Week And Half To Write This Up

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Started with a warmup lap around the track for 1/4 mile. Then we did 15 Hand Release merkins, 15 Cherry Pickers, 15 Hill Billy Walkers, Moraccian NightClubs , and 15 Over Head Claps

THE THANG: Usually this AO does Broga prior to the boot camp version of workout. I opted for 20 minutes of Broga afterwards as I prefer to stretch with warm muscles to get a deeper stretch. So here’s what we did. After the warmup had Pax mosey over to football field for a exercise I found called The Red Bruchetta: It goes like this,

Start at one end zone run to other end zone and do 100 SSH’s, run back to starting end zone and plank while waiting for six to return.
Next run to the opposite 25 yard line and do 75 Mountain Climbers run back and plank on elbows till 6 is in
Go to 50 yard line and do 50 LBC’s return and do Hello Dollys till 6 is in.
Go to 25 yard line do 25 Monkey Humpers return and do Flutter Kicks
Go to 15 yard line do 15 Burpees and return and do Penguins in cadence.
This took about 25 minutes to do which left about 20 minutes of Broga to wrap it all up. Thanks Bodywash for the Q.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Fort 10 year anniversary in September
COT: All parents and kids returning to school.
