Not Many Fooled on April 1st.

Leave a comment

Run to opposite side parking lot of school for Dynamic Warmup:
– SSH x15
– IW (high) x15 => High Knee
– Seal Jacks x15
– Windmills x10 => Butt Kickers
– Merkins x10
– Dry Docks x10=> Shuffle L/R
– Low Slow Squat x20

The Thang:
Ran to the back of the school (near the bridge). Pax paired up and a foreman was selected to represent all pax. Each pair took turns working their way to a rep count (the pax not doing the exercise various stationary positions. Once all pairs done, a moving exercise (out-and-back) was done by everyone. Then, we started the next round. The details of each round are listed below.

The twist for April Fool’s day is that before the moving exercise, a true/false question was posed to the pax. If the foreman answered correctly, an “easy” out-and-back exercise was done. If incorrect, a difficult out-and-back exercise was drawn from the “bucket ‘o pain”.

SET 1
PARTNER A – 20 MERKINS
PARTNER B – PLANK
FLAPJACK to reach 80

SET 2
PARTNER A – 20 SQUATS

Biscuits and light poles

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Various exercises while doing laps around outside of parking lot. Somehow biscuits were brought up and for the rest of the time everyone discussed their favorite biscuit restaurant and topping.
THE THANG: Start at point where road split for the football parking. 5 bombjacks, run to 2nd light pole, 10 merkins, 10 squats, back to start for 5 bombjacks, run to 1st light pole for 10 merkins, 10 squats, back to start for 5 bombjacks. That’s one round. Each round we moved up a light pole, kept the bombjacks, and let PAX pick exercises. 3:2 was seal jacks and LBCs. 4:3 was diamond merkins and plank jacks. 5:4 was jump squats and flutter(?). Finally 6:5 was shoulder taps and mountain climbers. Times up, back to COT.
MARY:

Counting Down from 100

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Quick COP warm-up with Imperial Walkers, Seal Jacks, and Hill Billy Walkers.

THE THANG:
Mosey down to oval loop in front of Springfield Middle. Near school entrance we started with a 100 reps of an exercise. We then ran (together) down to the lower part of the loop. For a portion of the run, pax had to do a moving exercise, determined by one pax drawing from a bucket ‘o pain. At the lower part of the loop, we then did 90 reps of a different exercise. Once all pax were done, we ran back to the top part in front of the school entrance (scaling a small wall that was part of the loop).
We repeated, counting down to 10 exercises. Here was the list.

100 Flutters
90 Squats
80 Shoulder Taps
70 Hello Dollys
60 SSH
55 LBCs
50 Merkins
40 Speed Skaters
30 Lunges
20 Burpees
10 Big Boy Sit-ups

We ended up skipping the lunges due to time, but we added some Bombjacks at the end, thanks to some nudging from BandCamp.

YHC had the opportunity to share my testimony and try to encourage all pax that each person’s testimony is their own uniquely, God-created, story…including the testimonies being lived out by our kids.

The mumble chatter was fantastic, as we learned perhaps a bit too much about CakeBoss’ impending first “official” colonoscopy. Thanks RainMaker for the opportunity to lead.
