WARMUP: Mosey around parking lot twice mixing in buttkickers, high knees, & shuffles. Circled up and performed WindMills in cadence x 5, 3 burpees oyo, CherryPickers in cadence x 5, 3 burpees oyo, Moroccan KC in cadence x 10, 3 burpees oyo, Merkins in cadence x 5, 3 burpees oyo
THE THANG: Everyone was instructed pick up bricks out of the back of my car. PAX were instructed to hold onto those bricks for the entire workout.
1st Round – While lunge walking 10 yards PAX had to raise bricks out to the side with each lunge. Once we reached our 10 yard destination we performed 10 Bomb Jacks with bricks. Did this for 5 stations.
Round #2 – Jack Webb – 2 exercises with 1:4 ratio concluding at 10:40. Exercises were Merkins on bricks and Overhead Claps with bricks.
Round #3 – Same stations we used for the previous lunge walk were used to perform a Burpee Suicide ladder. Starting line – 1 burpee, run to first station 1 burpee, run back to starting line 1 burpee, run to 2nd station 2 burpees, back to starting line 1 burpee, so forth and so on, 5 staions.
Round #4 – Supermans with Bricks – Lay on your stomach, performed 10 sec holds in 4 different positions -Superman, Field Goal, Airplane, Ripcord. Once PAX had a good understanding of the positions we went through them again with a 7 second hold and no breaks in between positions.
Round #5 – Indian Run with Bricks 3 times around the parking lot. If you’ve never ran with bricks you are missing a real treat.
Round#6 – Same routine as the 1st round, but with backward lunges as travel mode and instructed to raise bricks straight ahead, at each station PAX were instructed to sit in the Al Gore position with bricks raised to the front and perform 10 pulses. JWOW’s form was noticeable!!!
Round#7 – Circle up and get on your 6. Completed 25 toe touch crunches with bricks in cadence, 20 reverse crunches in cadence, 15 V-Ups with Bricks, and then 20 oyo WindShield Wiper leg raises. DONE!!!

- Posted In: Millllkshake
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.

There was a time when the world whispered. When quiet blanketed the meadows, and branches parted. When we hiked in wordless wonder and the birds regaled us once more with song. It was this morning at The Hive.
Warmup:
- Side Straddle Hops
- Windmills
- Tappy Taps
- Merkins
- Perter Parkers
- Down Dog/Honeymooner
- Hamstring Stretch
- LBC’s
- Futters
- Ran a lap
The Thang:
Partnered up because accountability matters. Cones were lined up with a plethora of KB exercises. The timer was an experiment of mine that was a cross between a human horse and buggy with battle ropes. The idea was to run across the parking lot with resistance. It was teeeeerible!! All of the pax would rotate through the cones onto the resistance run.
After a few rounds the timer switched up to bear crawls and waiter carries (aka The Tesh).
Six o’clock arrive fast. Back to COT for prayers and praises.
Prayers for mental health, cancer, and marriages.
JWOW
