Surf’s Up – Cletus 2-8-19
Fresh off a week in Costa Rica, I (Yogurt) mimicked surfing in this arm-intensive workout.
Warm Up: Mosey around Hunt Center to front parking lot; SSH 25x; Arm circles 10f/10b; 5 burpees OYO
Mosey to tennis courts. Local surfers would stretch before hopping in the water. Leg stretches: Flat on back, knees up to 45 degrees, left ankle to right knee, gently pull left knee toward right shoulder, feel in the buttocks. Opposite side too.
Star stretch: flat on back, arms extended overhead, left knee up to 45 degrees, drop left knee over right, extend. Simultaneously, reach left arm out to left. From above, you are forming a plus sign. Opposite side too.
The Workout: Mosey to softball field, right field foul line. Got our bearings in the darkness with a quick wheelbarrow out to hula hoops. Switch partners and back.
Workout mimicked paddling out and surfing in. When paddling out, often you have to sprint. You must hammer to make it past the breakers and into the lineup.
Workout: Elevens with squats and Catalina wine chillers. On shore side, squats. Sprint to paddle out. While in the lineup, Catalina wine chillers. Catch a wave and ride it in! Rinse and repeat with Elevens as count.
Mosey to dirt parking lot to ride the tides. How many tides are in a day? Typically four–high, low, high, low
From greenway (low tide side), run to paved driveway (high tide side): 12 Merkins to represent high tide at 12 o’clock; run back down to greenway (low tide side), 6 Merkins to represent low tide at 6 o’clock. Rinse and repeat until we did a couple of days’ worth of tides.
Mary: Mosey to tennis courts. Ab work: Hammock without the hammock 20x; Superman arms to side 15x, arms overhead 15x. Pickle pounders 20x. Low slow flutter 20x. Box cutters 15x.
