Dance Naked Reboot

Leave a comment

Eight boot campers met at Pleasant Knoll Middle for a great start to Tuesday morning. Here is what they did:

THE THANG:
Mosey out of the COT and circle up at the cement pad by the teacher’s smoking lounge for COP: All in cadence:
SSX x 20, merkin x 10, windmill x 10, cherry picker x 10, little/big arm circles x 20ea and both directions, IW x 15, mountain climber x 15 hold/6″ hold/honeymooner/downward dog/6″/L/R arm/leg high/6″ hold, Freddie Merc x 15

Mosey to the parking lot and line up facing the cement island.

1. Bearcrawl to the island, 10 merkins, return to the start
2. Lungewalk to the island, 10 squats, return.
3. Powerskip to the island, 10 bombjacks, return.
4. Inchworm to the island, 10 merkins
5. Pick partner (someone you don’t know well), walk to the island and get to know them better. At the island, do 10 partner merkins (hand slap), walk back to the start.

Mosey to the walking bridge for Jacob’s ladder. Run to the end of the bridge and do 1-5 burpees, run back. (5 reps total)

Walk to the school building for 2 rounds of People’s Chair (60 sec hold). The pax were encouraged to sit at a 90 degree angle.

MARY: Flutter x 10, Box cutter x 10, Pretzel crunch x 10, Superman x 3

NAKED MAN MOLESKIN:
Good mumble chatter today by the Pax. Twister started it during the opening SSH’s when he noticed a small fenced-in area with a chair placed in it. What purpose did it serve? (time out chair?, teacher’s smoking lounge?)
Today’s workout was one I pulled from the archives (08/01/2019) and executed almost identically. Noteworthy of that workout was when I asked the pax to take a few minutes and get to know someone new in the group. I took that cue from C-Span who did something similar years before at WEP. It’s a neat way to make a connection with the guys you see in the gloom, but may not know very well.

COT: Barry Manilow joined us at COT following his 6 mile run.
Good to have you with us, brother! We prayed for ST’s mom and longtime friend John with terminal cancer. Prayers also for Dixie’s 5 yr old niece whose body started rejecting a donated kidney

Whipped out a swampy sweaty wienke with a shable

Leave a comment

WARMUP: It was warm and schweaty.

Run around the perimeter of the parking lot with butt kickers, high knees, side shuffles and then circled up. SSH, windmill, cherry picker, low slow squats, merkins, honey nooner, down dog. Back to COT to grab the 40 bag.

THE THANG: Took the bag and pax over to bubbles and bows because they need a trim. This wienke was originally used at the Swamp in June 2019…oldie but goodie.

In a circle we numbered off to determine our order as 2 would follow 1, 3 follow 2 and so forth. Pax 1 would run to the other end of the parking lot to do shoulder presses, min 10 and max 25, and then handoff to 2. While pax 1 was on the bag, the remaining pax were doing exercises and pax 1 would pick up at the beginning or where they left off.

Exercises were: 25 bomb jacks, 50 jump squats, 75 calf raises, 100 SSH, 100 flutter right leg only, 75 CDD, 50 merkins, 25 burpees.

After the shoulder press and all pax completed this, next was 10/25 of curls. Then was 5 squats, then was 3 merkins with bag in your back. So continued to rotate the back as pax completed the 25-100-25.

Ran back to COT for a shable (a story in the tale of a fable authored by shady, shable). False ending so did a full lap around the parking lot, then back to COT.
MARY: went around the circle with stretching exercises called out…it was great.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: heard about how awesome HIM camp was, 9/11 on 9/9 event, newsletter
COT: old school CSPAN prayers and praises

Backwards accumulator with a touch of Apache

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Wegs said peace out and ran away.  The rest of us stuck around.  Warmup stayed local at COT: SSH, cherry picker, low slow squat, merkins, windmill
THE THANG: We ran away from COT towards the bus loop and stopped at the corner for our first exercise…of the backwards accumulator.  Started out with 10 bomb jacks followed by Apache 10 count from Mainframe.  Next took off through the entrance and up to the front of the school for some Al gores while we waited and then did 20 diamond merkins along with the 10 bombs.  Here is where Senator gave us an old school Apache 10 count where we learned about this redwood’s history.  Next was back down to the corner where we stopped for 30…30 hammers, then the 20, then the 10.  Undertaker picked up the 6 before we got started, because that’s what we do.  Got us an Apache 10 from undertaker at this stop. We then ran to another entrance of the school for 40 squats, then 30 down to 10.  To the back of the school we packed in 50 flutters down to the 10.  Then we stayed there for 60 calve raises down to the 10.  Then we ran back to COT.  On the way, there may have been some merlot deposits but I think that’s what happens sometimes when you work extra hard and push…so good on you pax.
MARY: had a little time for some Mary
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter goodies
COT: Wegs came back and left us without a wave.  So prayers for him, lol.

Ran over to middle school drop off loop
SSH
Windmill

About 3 years ago I Q’d this workout and it was terrible. So I decided to bring it back since this was the same AO. Spider-Man was already predicting this was going to happen and he showed anyway. I believe he enjoyed it, but still complained. Senator was King, but the longest mile is still undefeated.

Do one lap each exercise (1/4 mile)
Bear crawl
Crab walk
Lunge walk
Run

Everyone finished bear crawl and lunge walk. Some finished the run, but no one was able to complete the crab walk lap.

MARY:
Few minutes of stretching once we got back to COT

Training for the Prison Break

Leave a comment

We had four strong for a solid day on the prison yard and a chance to run.

Mosey around the park with stops for warmups:  IW x 20, CDD x10, SSH x 34, Moroccan Nightclubs x20, Arm Circle x15, Reverse Arm Circle x15.

Mosey to play ground for a circuit x4:

5 burpees, 10 pull ups, 15 Merkins, 20 Lunges, 25 dips and 30 squats then a lap around the park.

Ab lab with 20 LBCs, 20 Hello Dollies and 20 flutters.

Once all completed we moseyed to the hill.  Nur up the then hill 5 times with one less burpee per time up the hill (5-4-3-2-1).

Mosey back to parking lot.

Finish with Freddy Mercury x20.

Great crew as always:  Uber continues to show tours of his van.  If you haven’t seen it get out to Alcatraz and check out his masterpiece.

Speaking of Masterpiece it was great to have him out.  I discovered you just have to have him over for some bourbon the night before and he will post.

Senator Tressel continues to accelerate in his bid for the Senior Olympics.  I believe his going for the all around metal.  He continues to drive us into the ground.

I was there and did all of it.

Decibel
