The Comforts of Home

WARMUP: Yes
THE THANG: We moseyed to parking lots across the road as well as Lowes, strip center and other glorious spots proximate to Slow Burn’s Shovel Flag, stopping along the way for a feast of derkins, lunges, bear crawls and other standard fare. The peak of the festivities involved a round robin where each pax picked an exercise then called cadence for the # of reps that matched the # of years he’s been posting. Yes, Twister’s portion was heard in Tega Cay.
MARY: Yes
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Xmas party, Clave Boss, and more!
COT: It felt great to be back in the Gloom after 8 nights DR for work, experiencing the joys of a weekend kickoff with the Slow Burn spirit. And that spirit remains strong thanks to leadership from Peach Stand. Thanks for the Q stick!

F45 Cornucopia Workout

Cold morning at Slow Burn. I set up a number of workout stations in the parking. I was tempted to set it up outside F45, but I decided not to start the day being an A-Hole (wait for the sun to rise).
Started with a mosey around the buildings, back to the start point for COP (SSH, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, and Plank Stretches).
Next, we partnered up for the workout stations. Partner 1 ran a lap around the parking lot while Partner 2 performed the exercise. Rotation after both partners completed exercises.
Stations
1. Squat with 60# sandbag
2. Box jump/set up
3. Kettlebell Curl
4 Jump Rope
5. Plate Crunch
6. Ab Wheel
7. 40# Sandbag Burpee

We covered cover 2 miles and 2 rounds of exercises
Great job guys!

Frosty’s Revenge: The Icebreaker Workout

BEFORE HAND: I ran out of the house to find my windshield completely frozen. I mean should I have expected when it’s 27° out. I tried to knock the ice off but with that I only made it to the stop sign at the end of Rd. As I started sweating bullets thinking I was going to be late just get my windshield clear so I can view the road. I made it with time to spare.

I proceeded to get out of the vehicle trying to get used to the bitter cold. Upon circling up we got a good amount of Pax which always ends up making for a great time.

WARMUP: 10 windmills
10 SSH
10 imperial walkers

Mosey over to the milestone.
Asked the Pax to think about what they are most grateful for this time of year and also what they are struggling with.

10 Merkins IC

THE THANG:
I had two present boxes with several exercises and reps listed inside. The main box had exercises that would be done in the parking lot near spratt St. Where the playground is. The lower box had exercises with reps Had exercises with reps for us to be performed at the milestone near white St. and Main St. I had Pax pull from each one of the gifts to determine the exercise that would be performed. Here’s how it went no particular order.
Lower box
1. 15 – Mike Tysons
2. 15 – Mike Tysons
3. 20 – Plank Toe touches each leg
4. 5 – Plank Toe touches each leg
5. 20 – Plank Shoulder Taps each side
6. 20 – Dips
7. 15 – Mike Tysons
Main box

Mosey back to COT.
