TBD Return to the Hill

/in , /QIC:
PAX: , , , ,

EC: Fanny Pack, YHC

Warm Up:

  • Trace the lines on the tennis courts, forward, sideways both ways
  • Step ups on the curb (Fancy Feat) around the lower parking lot both sides for symmetry
  • Step ups over the picnic tables in the shelter
  • Step ups on the ledge of amphitheater up and back for symmetry
  • Mosey to top of second parking lot: Bat wings 20x per exercise (arm circles, seal claps, overhead claps) (2 rounds no recovery, followed by 5 count off by each pax) Toast!

The Workout: Guantanamo using the parking spaces (one pax per parking line with both legs at 45 degrees, last pax goes up the group Indian run style, pushing the feet down while pax rebound).

Chill cut with pax bunny hopping (one pax per parking line in chill cut, last pax hops over legs of the pax, moving up the line Indian run style).

Mosey to the Hill beside/behind the Hunt Center. Reverse Indian run, wherein the first pax goes to the back of the line.

The Hill is the location of many, many Cletus sets of 11s. Today, we did 11s with WWIIs at the bottom and Erkins at the top, but you had to hop the fence and do the Erkins on the other side. This took a while and I mostly had the count right! Final climb was bear crawl.

Mary: Been bringing classic rock to Mary. Today, it was China Grove by the Doobie Brothers (1973). This mid-70s is very nostalgic for me, hope everyone enjoyed. Glad Bondo was there to relate, Cancun gave it a thumbs up.

Popcorn ab work featuring the pax’s favorite (or least favorite) ab exercise. Today’s ab work featured low slow flutter, American Hammer, Freddie Mercury, box cutter, and more.

Announcements: F3 picnic on the 26th. Build a Bed on the 12th.
