Jersey Yikes at The Stockade

Leave a comment

WARMUP: A few SSH then we just jumped into it.

THE THANG: Two lines facing each other in the plank position.  4 plank jacks, 4 mountain climbers, 4 shoulder taps, 4 Supermans.  4 plank walks to the side then repeat with 8 reps for each exercise.  4 plank walks and 16 reps each.  4 more plank walks and 32 reps each.   The fun really began at 16.

After this we did some partner leap frogs with partner 1 lunge walking to the first of eight cones.  Partner 2 does 10 merkins then jogs to the first cone.  Flip flop (or leap frog) until reaching the last cone.  Rinse and repeat back to the first cone but swap out lunge walks for bear crawls.

Mosey to Jersey Mikes for a #7 Turkey and provolone with honey mustard Dora.  All totaled, that sandwich is ~540 calories.  With partners we did 540 reps of 7 exercises.  One partner did a lap around Jersey Mikes and Walgreens while the other did the reps.  Switch when partner returns from the run. Reps were: 100 squats, 100 LBCs, 100 plank jacks, 100 CDD, 100 curb dips.  We closed it out with each partner doing 20 American Hammers and 20 burpees.

Mosey back to the cones for one more partner leap frog.  Due to pax demand, merkins were swapped out for squats.  

Mosey to COT

MARY:  she wasn’t present but her shoulders would have felt great after the workout.

NMM
There’s an old Italian saying, “after the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.” When our days are done, it doesn’t matter how much money we made or how fine our possessions were. We should use our time to get right, live right, and lead right so we can leave right. Stay humble, be kind, and love always. That’s the legacy that lasts beyond when we close the box on the game.

Aye!

All told we only covered a mile in distance today. YHC hopes the PAX still got their money’s worth of out this free workout, open to all men, held outdoors, peer led with no assumption of expertise, that ended in a COT.

COT:
Shot for the Prayer of St. Francis, but didn’t quite have the thing memorized. Memorize is my word of the year, I’m working on it.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.

An honor to lead such a solid crew.
