Bag of tricks

WARMUP:
Short Mosey to parking lot near entrance
SSH – 1 Burpee
Low slow squat – 2 burpees
Windmill- 3 burpees
Maraca nightclub – 4 burpees

Too much mumblechatter so we went to the hill for quadzilla

Run down the hill and run backwards 7 times and do 7 LBCs at the top, decrease LBCs by 1 each time up.

Moved over to front of elementary school by flags for some bear crawl. Line up along the curb facing flag. Crawl to the other side and do 1 merkin, then reverse bear crawl back and do 1 merkin. Repeat 5 times.

Knocked out a few minutes of a work with the protractor. Then had enough time for one round of Dirty Myrtle and Mike Tyson’s (great combo)

Made our way back to COT.

Last but not least was the Airborne special hip exercises.

BDE at the Stockade

We had 9 at the Stockade for one of the last days of 2023

Started off with a basic warmup.

Short Mosey around the parking lot back in front of the Dance studio.

15 IC SSH
10 IC Windmills
5 Burpees OYO
15 IC Seal Jacks
10 IC MNC
5 Burpees OYO
15 IC Plank Jacks
Stretch
15 IC Mnt Climbers

First Routine

12 Days of Christmas. This is where the Mumblechatter got dialed up a notch.

Basic 12 days of Christmas set up. Started with day one and got to day 12. Reps of a given exercise matched the day.

Day 1 Burpees
Day 2 Burpees
Day 3 Burpees
Day 4 Burpees
Day 5 ( 5 Count rest)
Day 6 Squats
Day 7 SSH
Day 8 IW
Day 9 Calf Raises
Day 10 LBc’s
Day 11 Flutters
Day 12 BBS

I set this up so after day 5 we ended each “round” with 10 Burpees. Again, this was a crowd pleaser.

We then took a short mosey around the parking lot again for the second routine of the morning.

This format was similar to the Laredo workout but obviously modified.

4 rounds

25 Merkins
25 Squats
25 BBS

Lap that we just did in the parking lot.

It was here I put on some music for the PAX as we did these exercises.

With only 5ish minutes to go I got us back to COT for a 4-minute AMRAP. I would call out an exercise and we would max out reps.
Minute 1- HR Merkins
Minute 2 – Flutters
Minute 3- HR Merkins
Minute 4- Plank.

COT: Show some BDE guys and share whats on your hearts. Be specific. As someone said in COT today you can’t get specific help if you don’t have a specific ask.

AYE!

Always fun to lead.

Thanks to all of you!
