Jedi here, stepping in for Mr. T to get his backblast from April 1 posted…
Vinny was the scheduled Q, and even mentioned this to Mr. T Sunday morning. Much to Mr. T’s surprise, Vinny called him up late Sunday night requesting a substi-Q. This late change of plans caused for some confusion in the wee hours of Monday morning, but at 0515 Mr. T took control, gave a disclaimer (with some assistance), and off we went.
Mosey around to Sport Clips parking lot with some high knees, butt kickers, and shuffles along the way. That was the warm up. For the rest of the workout, Mr. T rolled out the dice, of which there were four. Simple rules: roll the dice, he’d announce and lead the exercise to some pre-determined number that may or may not be a multiple of 10, rinse and repeat.
Exercises:
4 – low slow squats
5 – mountain climber
6 – Freddie mercury
7 – LBC
8 – You Call It
9 – Rosalita
10 – American Hammer
11 – Peters on the wall (Peter Parkers in BTTW position, not the other possible definition)
12 – People’s Chair
13 – You Call It
14 – Crab walk/bear walk the circle
15 – Run (to a new location; we did this a few times, ending up in front of Home Depot, outside Just Fresh, in front of Tuesday Morning, and outside Casual Pint)
16 – High Knee Skip
17 – Plank hip dips (on your elbows)
18 – Side plank, arm (and leg) high, both sides
19 – You Call It
20 – Plank hands to elbows
21 – Peter Parker/Parker Peter
22 – Hello Dolly
23 – You Call It
24 – Burpees
With four dice, you can assume most of our rolls ended up in the middle numbers.
Return to COT for number-o-rama, name-o-rama, announcements-o-rama (not actually a thing), and praises and prayers.
Welcome (no longer an) FNG, The Admiral.
Mr. T would like to thank Vinny for the opportunity. It’s difficult to tell if there was sarcasm in his text saying as much.
I would like to thank Mr. T for stepping up. I know it’s been hard for him to get out and post consistently lately, but it’s always good to see him. It’s probably especially difficult to come back and Q after not Qing for a long time. I think it was safe to say he was a bit nervous, but he still took control and led the PAX through a solid beatdown for a Monday morning. It was also great to see the PAX gather together and encourage him throughout the workout.
