It’s a MARVELous Day

A small Pax of 3 got out in the “can’t-decide-if-it’s-winter-or-spring” early morn for some superhero-infused conditioning.

Warm Up:

  • Sir Fazzio arm circles, Michael Phelps, Squats, Moroccan Nightclubs
  • Jog out, side-shuffle slalom, sprint back X3
  • 2 forward, one backward on the parking spaces
  • Side-straddle hop
  • 6-count merkins
  • Down dog
  • Jumping Spiders

The Workout:

Doc Ock’s Octagon of Pain
8 stations, 8 reps per stations, with bear crawls between each station.
Then a rest-in-the-run lap around the track, and rinse & repeat with 16 reps per stations (would go on to 24 if time permitted)

  1. Derkins
  2. Jump Squats
  3. Burpees
  4. American Hammers (cadence)
  5. Spiderman Pushups (like Peter Parkers, but you go down in the pushup as you bring the knee up)
  6. Lt. Dans (squat, then one lunge each leg)
  7. Outlaws (start like low slow flutter, but keep legs together and trace a circle; 8 clockwise, 8 counter-clockwise)
  8. 3-Legged Dog (down dog, raise a leg, do a pushup – useful progression for handstand pushups)

Jess’ friend Nathan going through marriage struggles, working toward realignment and reconciliation, but damage has been done that will take time to heal.
