No Hoopla, Just a Beat Down
FNGs: None
Warm Up: Rolled into DT parking lot and planted the shovel flag. I found a handful of PAX slowly emerge from their cars into the sprinkles, temps in 60s! and fog. Some had rain jackets and hats in preparation for the wet conditions. Alerted PAX the majority of workout would be under the parking deck where the Onnit kettlebell workouts were held last quarter. Some mumble chatter about the NFL games over the weekend, the college football championship game tonight and PAX simply wanting to avoid any Hoopla this am, wanting simply, a nice beat down in the gloom. Not wanting to disappoint, we ventured off into the darkness of downtown Holly Springs. Nice easy run around the block and then had PAX center up in the parking garage. Lead PAX in the following warmup exercises: 25 SSH, 10 Good AM, 10 Daisy Pickers, 10 O/H claps. 10 Seal Claps, 10 Sir Fazios (F/B)
The Workout: PAX followed Q executing Ws sliding side to side slapping the ground at the apex all the down the lengths of the garage. At the end of the garage, PAX started at the wall in front of a parking lot stripe. PAX bear crawled the length of the stripe and completed one burpee and then back peddled to the start of the wall. Next go -increased burpees to 2. Rinse and repeat until we reached 5 burpees. Recovered on the wall with 5c People’s Chair immediately followed by 5c BTTW. Q called out a different PAX to lead the cadence count increasing the count from 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 for both exercises. With sweat rolling off the brow, we set off doing karaoke, switching up at the halfway point, until we reached the end wall. Why not more BTTW/people’s chair? Q started with a 5 count. Had PAX execute lunges alternating L/R until they reached halfway point. Q called 10 merkins. Back peddled to the wall. 10c BTTW/PC. Alternating lunges to a shorter distance. Executed 10 wide grip merkins. Back peddled to the wall. More 10c BTTW/PC. Lunges again. 10 Diamond merkins. Back peddled to wall for 10c BTTW/PC. Karaoke to the opposite end of garage switching up at the halfway point. Feeling frisky, Q called for more BTTW 10c. Followed by 10 squats. Rinse and repeat. Mosey back to the far corner for Mary and COT.
