Burpees are NOT a Stretch!
Brisk morning at Awesome Possum. YHC had no idea what to expect for my first Q at the Trot, but coming over the hill and seeing some FNGs made it something special! Norm and Martini stayed for warmup then hit some miles and were back in time for COT.
FNGs: Yes! Endo, False Start, SIR Shanks-a-lot
Warm Up: Warm-o-rama with SHHs, Good Mornings, Willie Mays Haze, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Newton’s Cradle, Michael Phelps
The Workout: Event 1 Rock Ping Pong: Partner up with one rock and line up at the edge of the parking lot. One partner performs the exercise then starts pushing the rock across the parking lot. Other partner takes a lap around the tennis courts and meets the partner on the other side. The goal is a competition with your partner for the end position of the rock. Exercises were 20 each curls for the girls, triceps extensions, overhead press.
Event 2: Survivor Series: Start with a round of exercises and each round vote off the group’s least favorite. Starting exercises were 20 each merkins, fire brigade lunge, turkish get-ups, star jumps, Carolina dry docks, squats. Order of eliminations round 1: turkish get-ups, round 2 (oh shoot we’re out of time): merkins and star jumps, complete round 3 with the last four.
Mary: Let’s see who’s still with me. Silent count Mary. Q leads the cadence but no total count. Anyone that stops over or under, add on 5 exercises. 20 each box cutters, LBCs, Homer to Marge
Asked POTS to lead some stretching while I grabbed my phone for name-o-rama. I come back to find everyone doing burpees. Honestly… privileges revoked POTS!
Announcements: Super Bowl squares for HSPD First Aid Kits
T-Claps (Recognition): I saw solid efforts by Endo, False Start, SIR Shanks-a-lot.
