Pre-Convergence Convergence

There were Ruckers and runners.

Barry Manilow led the runners for 5+ miles around The Fort.

The bootcampers were led first by Maximus with a SSH x Merkin combo x2 to warm up.
After a quick warm up, the weinke was
10 merkins, 10 mountain climbers (double count) at each of the 9 swings around the park. When done and waiting on the 6 to fill in, hold an Al Gore. To wrap up, starting at the bottom of the grassy hill from the parking lot, flutter kicks, then burpees at the top of the hill.

Cake Boss took second shift with playtime at the playground.
Partnering up, one partner does squats, while the other runs around the playground. Then flapjack. Next was pull ups/merkins following the same format. To wrap up, keeping the same partner, one bear crawled across the field and run back, while the other did flutters. Flap jack until 3 rounds were done.

Fogerty took us home with some 11’s and hill repeats.
At the bottom of the hill with the statue, started with 10 merkins and bombjacks. Half way up the hill, 5 burpees, then 1 squat and big boy sit-up. No burpee on the way back down the hill. Repeat until 11’s are done cutting out the burpees when you hit 5 & 6.

This was a fun 60 min bootcamp.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Clave Boss & convergence in 12/23. Happy Birthday Walker. Tallawah is officially closed for good.

Milk Was a Bad Choice

It was a cold and dark morning, but the HIM were there bright and early ready for a nice warm glass of pain.

The Thang:

Rucked over to the Huber Graham Way for some 7’s with Hill Repeats
– 6 Squats at the top of the hill and 1 lunge at the bottom of the hill

 Rucked back over to the school for some more pain. We formed two lines for Indian Bear Crawl between the light posts.

 Rucked back towards COT for some tree huggers with overheard ruck carries.

 Back to COT for prayers and praises.

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!
