Frosty’s Revenge: The Icebreaker Workout

BEFORE HAND: I ran out of the house to find my windshield completely frozen. I mean should I have expected when it’s 27° out. I tried to knock the ice off but with that I only made it to the stop sign at the end of Rd. As I started sweating bullets thinking I was going to be late just get my windshield clear so I can view the road. I made it with time to spare.

I proceeded to get out of the vehicle trying to get used to the bitter cold. Upon circling up we got a good amount of Pax which always ends up making for a great time.

WARMUP: 10 windmills
10 SSH
10 imperial walkers

Mosey over to the milestone.
Asked the Pax to think about what they are most grateful for this time of year and also what they are struggling with.

10 Merkins IC

THE THANG:
I had two present boxes with several exercises and reps listed inside. The main box had exercises that would be done in the parking lot near spratt St. Where the playground is. The lower box had exercises with reps Had exercises with reps for us to be performed at the milestone near white St. and Main St. I had Pax pull from each one of the gifts to determine the exercise that would be performed. Here’s how it went no particular order.
Lower box
1. 15 – Mike Tysons
2. 15 – Mike Tysons
3. 20 – Plank Toe touches each leg
4. 5 – Plank Toe touches each leg
5. 20 – Plank Shoulder Taps each side
6. 20 – Dips
7. 15 – Mike Tysons
Main box
1. 20 – CDD
2. 20 hand Release Merkins
3. 5 – Fire Hydrants Each Leg
4. 5 – Wide Arm Merkins
5. 5 – Merkins
6. 5 – WW2 Situps
7. Last but not lease 25 – Kraken Burpees which for the sake of time I Omaha to 10 – Kraken Burpees

Mosey back to COT.

COT: Circle up C-Span style to review what each pax is most grateful for this time of year and what they are struggling with.
Health is the main item that came up to be grateful for.
Prayers and praises. Lots of announcements read your newsletter.

Tour de WEP

WARMUP:
Some SSH and Merkins

THE THANG:
Donning vests/rucks we farmer carried our KBs around WEP hitting pain stations at every swing. 16 reps was the count at each station.
There were 10 stations at which we did, lunges, squat thrusters, swings, rows, curls, shoulder presses, merkins, goblet squats, cleans, and snatches.

2 rounds was the goal, but we ran out of time.

Great fellowship. Celebrated YHC’s birthday and Tiller’s retirement.

Taking responsibility

YHC clipped the Ms car on the way out of the driveway this morning – initial reaction was to find anything and anyone else to blame…. I was running late because no one moved the elf, and I couldn’t find my running shoes because my son “put them away in the garage”, and my M didnt pull all the way up in the driveway.

The truth is I didn’t do the basic things required for the task like taking a walk/look around the car or adequately use my mirrors. These were all completely under my control and I failed.

Human nature is to deflect blame to others, as HIMs we need to resist this urge. We can’t blame other’s for our own complacency.

THE THANG:
run to Allison park stopping every 1/4 mile for 10 merkins.

once at the park, yhc led IC exercises until the 6 arrived (squats, reverse lunges, sumo squats). Once all PAX arrived, we assumed plank position and performed in cadence shoulder taps (40) and then in cadence squats (30) while each PAX performed one max set of pullups.

ran back to Earthfare stopping every 1/4 mile for 10 merkins.

used remaining time to do 4 corners at Earthfare with10 reps of sumo squats and wide arm merkins at opposite corners.

couple minutes of Mary to finish.

strong work by all today.

Crawling in the Bushwood

Chilly low 20s morning.

Haven’t been to a true bootcamp in a while, let alone Q one – knew it might get interesting.

Decent amount of cars pulling in as I was on other side of parking lot scribbling exercises on the asphalt. When I wandered over to CoT area, I realized I knew almost no one (reason 1 not to take too much time away – miss out on meeting new PAX).

Warmup consisted of a mosey along the street behind school and then plank for 6. circled up. Fogerty was hyping up all the upcoming VQs from the PAX there this morning so YHC asked if any of them wanted to practice some cadence calling for a few warmup exercises. Bubbles and JCruise politely declined. Time Machine (not yet lined up for his VQ – hint hint site Qs) stepped up to the plate and led us through Windmills, SSH, and Hillbilly Walkers IC. YHC then stepped back in and finished us up with some Mtn Climbers, Low Slow Squats, Moroccan Night Clubs, and Overhead Claps. Pretty sure TimeMachine did a better job on his cadence calling than YHC.

We then continued our mosey to the tiered tennis viewing area and planked for the 6. We knocked out a couple rounds of step ups and derkins IC. Original plan was for 3 rounds but towards end of 2nd round YHC was close to failure on the Derkins (reason 2 to not take too much time away – have to modify weinke).

Continue to Mosey around to the front of the school, plank for the 6. Couple rounds of curb dips and monkey humpers IC.

Continue Mosey to main student entrance, Toy soldiers, butt kickers, and high knees for 6.

Continue Mosey back towards football parking lot, plank for 6.

OYO Bear Crawl Ladder:
-crawl to 10 yard perform exercise, run back
-crawl to 10 yard perform exercise, crawl to 20 yard perform exercise, run back
-crawl to 10 yard perform exercise, crawl to 20 yard perform exercise, crawl to 30 yard perform exercise, run back
-crawl to 10 yard perform exercise, crawl to 20 yard perform exercise, crawl to 30 yard perform exercise, crawl to 40 yard perform exercise, run back
-crawl to 10 yard perform exercise, crawl to 20 yard perform exercise, crawl to 30 yard perform exercise, crawl to 40 yard perform exercise, crawl to 50 yard perform exercise, run back

(all single count)
10 yard – 10x Heels2heaven
20 yard – 20x Flutters
30 yard – 30x LBCs
40 yard – 40x Shoulder taps
50 yard – 50x American Hammers

YHC and a few other hard chargers finished the ladder early and did an extra 50yard crawl. YHC then (foolishly) attempted to help the 6 by leading their set of American Hammers IC. well that didn’t exactly pan out as YHC ran out of steam around 40 (reason 3 to not take too much time away – cannot complete planned reps). Took a 5 second breather and got through the last 10.

Moneyed over to brick wall and did a long wall sit while every PAX had their turn to show off their burpee form (I believe breadfruit was the winner).

Short Mosey to CoT for some Sumo Squats and ended with 5 burpees OYO.

CoT – Tiller retiring from FD – Tclaps

We put in some good work but YHC will get back in better shape and bring it harder next time.

Site swap p1

Pledge of allegiance. Then down to corner of Main St and Academy. Pretty simple routine today: 10 HR merkins at Main/Academy. Run up Main to Main/160, 10 jump squats. Run to 160/Monroe White, 10 HR merkins. Run to Withers/Watson, 10 jump squats. Run back to start.
Each time you get back to Main/Academy, run the loop in the opposite direction with same exercises.

I think most PAX got between 4 and 5 loops in. Tesla might’ve done 10. It was nice to do something different this morning!
