Bushpit Dual Q (or Q Duel?)

Rock, Scissors, Paper for who took the warmup: Birdcage won

WARMUP:
– Indian run

THE THANG:
OldBay Part 1:
Run to first of 4 cones set up to cover a large area for “Catch me if you can”. Pax partner up, size doesn’t matter. Partner 1 does stationary exercise while partner 2 does moving exercise (working their way around all 4 cones). Once P1 finishes stationary exercise, they run to catch P2 then flapjack. Continue until they’ve made it around all 4 cones.

Exercises:
10 merkins and butt kickers
3 burpees and high knees
10 mountain climbers and karaoke

Birdcage Part 1
All pax grab some curb for merkin and shimmy: one merkin, then use arms and legs to sideways step to the right. Repeat until complaints were high enough.

Shake it out and then flip to other side of curb for dip and shimmy.

Pax then had to get in 5 lines for sprints back and forth in front of the stadium entrance.

OldBay Part 2
Pax line up on curb facing open side of parking lot for broad jumps and merkins. Pax instructed to take 2 broad jumps and then do 2 merkins. Repeat until the other side of the parking lot was reached, keeping count of how many broad jumps it took them.
14 jumps was the fewest, so all pax had to do 14 burpees.

Pax then lined up arms-distance apart, then dropped to a plan for railroad tracks. The pax at the end of the plank line had to make their way to the from the line by jumping over each planked pax. They then planked at the front of the line. Done after 2 complete cycles. We had a few minutes left, so we did 5 6-count burpees to satisfy the brass at the workout.

Birdcage part 2
Worked our way back to the front of the stadium where we did suicides, stopping at every tree for 5 bombjacks…until we run out of time (or tree, in the case of a few pax)

MARY:
Just a few moments for a few exercises. Bandcamp managed to get 2 6-count burpees in, because only dozens before wasn’t enough.

Great work by all. Thanks for the opportunity to co-lead, Birdcage.

Don’t Carry Your Burdens Alone

Theme: How are you carrying your burdens?

Think about these things:

How the weight of your burdens feels as you physically move around.

How hard would it be to carry multiple burdens at a time?

How hard would it be to carry these burdens alone?

How does it feel to lay your burdens down?

Carry the Burden

Brick never leaves you. Hold it in one hand, carry to chest, overhead, do push ups on it, etc.

Thang

4 stations around Veterans Park/Main Street. 2 exercises at each station. 10 reps each.

Station 1 – Veterans Park
American Hammer and LBCs

Station 2 – Hobos
Merkins and Curls

Station 3 – Top of Main
Thrusters and Reverse Lunges

Station 4 – FM Pharmacy
OH Press and Shoulder Raises

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. – Matthew 11:28

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. – 1 Peter 5:7

A burden shared is a burden halved.

The weight you carry today builds the strength you’ll need tomorrow.

Don’t Get It Caught in The Zipper

WARMUP:
Run up to old hot dog place parking lot corner of Main and Clebourne, plank then wait for the group to explain the thing.

THE THANG:
THE ZIPPER
– Ran to end of Springs St to Summersby, then took a right to corner of Unity and Lockman. That was the start, or hoped it to be.
– For every road we headed west on (from Unity St, ending at Pine St), we did 10 squats, 10 merkins.
– For every road we headed EAST on (from Pine St, ending at Unity), we did 10 mountain climbers (double count) and 10 bombjacks.
– Whenever we crossed Springs St, we did a burpee.
– Proceeded street to street until we got back to Main and Tom Hall.

This was the plan, but evidently I did not communicate it clearly enough. Even so, PAX figured it out and got all the miles and pain stations in.

Guys were REALLY moving today, we all put in at least 3.5-3.75 miles, yet still got back to COT in time to do some Mary
Flutters
American Hammers
Hello Dollies
More
Next time I will add more pain stations.

Thanks self for the opportunity to lead.
