I realized last week that I hadn’t Q’d a workout in a few weeks and was itching to get back at it.
As always, I try to challenge myself in each workout I lead, but more importantly I try to focus on encouraging others to challenge themselves.
We started out on what was hopefully the last cold morning of the lagging spring, with thermometers readin 39-40 degrees, moseying the Dobys Bridge Elementary School parking lot for some warm-ups. We circled up with the PAX completing a litany of windmills, imperial walkers, Merkins, hill billy walkers, morroccan night clubs, mountain climbers, and some SSH. We then grabbed the bells and mosey’d to the bottom of the hill at the entrance to the school, where we “found” some additional tokens (cement blocks and medicine balls).
The thang:
The PAX split into 2 groups of 3 and roughly equally distributed the KB weight. The 1st PAX was the timer and would run with the token to the top of the hill and back, while the other two PAX would complete AMRAP of the prescribed exercise. Each of the 3 PAX would cycle through running with the token and completing the exercises. The goal was to challenge yourself by using heavier weight than you normally would.
Exercises: KB swings; squat, curl, and press; KB pull through w/ row; clean and press; squats, curls, overhead triceps extensions; LBCs w/ KB overhead; Weazy Jeffersons with KB overhead; Lawnmowers; Burpees w/KB.
With a few minutes left, the PAX picked up their KBs and the tokens and mosey’d (more like rucked or farmer carried) back to COT. This may have actually been the hardest part of the workout – Hells Bells!
