We ran around Baxter loops.
Prayers for aging parents and grandparents. Blessings for kids birthdays and the gift of fellowship.
We had 12 Pax, make it 13, Splinter drove through the Circle of Pain while we were doing out Side Straddle Hops. While I did prove a disclaimer, I forgot to mention incoming vehicles as a potential hazard.
Back to warm-ups (SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, Plank Stretches, Peter Parker, Parker Peters)
Next, we moseyed to the entrance of the Middle School. The workout for the remainder of time was The Accumulator:
Do the exercise and take a lap around the buffet. Rinse and Repeat, accumulating each exercise.
10 Merkins – 20 Flutter Kicks – 20 Squats – 30 Plank Punches – 20 LBC’s – 20 Carolina Dry Docks – 10 Burpees
Unfortunately, the above reps were impacted by inflation, here are the revised reps:
15 Merkins – 25 Flutter Kicks – 25 Squats – 36 Plank Punches – 28 LBC’s – 25 Carolina Dry Docks – 15 Burpees
**lesson: inflation has a random impact on prices (in this case reps)
Most pax got through the full list, some of the crazies (fast pax) started from the top again. Back to COT.
WARMUP: Mosey to bottom of Kingsley hill. (a few things to get loose)
THE THANG: Run the “big loop” through neighborhood and return to bottom of hill.
Run to first road….back down. Run to second road….back down. Run to top…..back to swimming pool. Run to COT. We did do exercises at each stop including Burpees. ( In truth, was my birthday so didn’t write the backblast until 3/1…so forgot)
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT:
WARMUP: the 0445 pre-run
THE THANG:
Shuttle runs
Using the rows in the parking lot (~20m apart) numbered 0-5, starting at 0, shuttle run to 1, return to 0. Run to 2, back to 0, etc until Pax got to 5, then start over from 1.
First 3 rounds (1 round being shuttle run through 1-5)
Burpees everytime you came back to 0. The number of burpees were equal to the number of the row you ran to.
Second 3 rounds were jump squats following the same rules as the burpees but by a factor of 4.
Last 3 rounds were 4 SC mountain climbers x the number of the row you ran to.
Those that finished before 6, did shuttle runs with no exercises.
Every 3 rounds was just over 1 mile.
