7 pax and 1 pet on board for a morning of Milllkshake.
The warmup: We followed the Fort Q, Straight Up, as he led us through some warmups and stretches.
We launched uphill toward Mccammon Street. We saw a pax coming in hot.so we circled back around the trail to the amphitheater for a pickup.
I wanted to get the pax some extra burn in this morning, so I picked several spots to do an advanced pace walk/run from point to point. The first was to run up the grassy hill to the upper level WEP parking lot.
Shoulder station: First exercise was Moroccan Night Clubs (15 in cadence).
Next, I mentioned the AMRAP for Autism at Alcatraz for a shoutout to Divac and the men doing that hard thing today.
All exercises moving forward were AMRAP for 1 minute. Thanks to Uhaul for the timing.
Overhead Claps/Monkey Humpers
Move along to next station. 2 times we picked up the pace and went from one fixed point to another fixed point to increase the heart rate a bit. Bowser showed off his youth and showed us all the bottom of his feet both times.
Next station; Springs Parking lot
Shoulder Taps/Merkins (1 min AMRAP each)
Moved along
Brief stop at Springs Insurance for 1-minute AMRAP of dips on the wall.
Next stop: Millstone Stairs:
3 rounds of leg exercises, calf raises. squats, lunges, as each pax went up and down the stairs one at a time. (Totally stole that from the Fishsticks workout at Footloose this past Thursday).
Advanced pace up the stairs and run to the upper-level parking lot at Millstone Park.
LBC’s/Flutters (1 min AMRAP each)
Headed back to COT. We were cutting it close on time, so we picked up the pace at the final stretch coming up Mccammon Street toward WEP. Bastion must have seen a squirrel because he pulled Tesh out way in front of us with Bowser a close 2nd.
Back to COT. As always, the mumblechatter at Millllkshake was top notch today as we all learned a little bit about each other.
Backblast complete.
