Time to fly at the Nest

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

FNGs: N/a
Warm Up: Solo EC run to scout some destinations.
At 05:30 on the dot we circled up for side straddle hops, arm circles, seal claps, arm circles reverse, overhead claps, imperial walkers, arm circles, seal claps, arm circles reverse, overhead claps. Lots of flapping done as we prepared to leave the nest.
The Workout: Time to go! Left the park and made our way over to the big hill on church st. 1 squat jump at the top of the hill, made our way to the bottom for 10 mtn climbers in cadence. Back up the hill for 2 squat jumps, back down for 9 mtn climbers. Continue the trend until we completed 4 squat jumps and 7 mtn climbers. Then we completed 25 squat jumps at the top and 25 mtn climbers at the bottom as time and legs became a factor.

Left the hill and made our way to the school steps. 1 merkin at the bottom, run up and down the steps, 1 merkin at the bottom, 2 merkins on step 1, run up and down the steps, 1 merkin at the bottom, 2 merkins on step 1, 3 on step 2, continue the pattern up the 10 steps but counting back down after 5. We all joined together at the end for 1 merkin at the top, 2 on the first step down, 3 on the next…4,5,5,4,3,2,1.

We then left the steps that made us miss the hill and went over to do rail crawls up both rails.

On to our last destination, the long ramp up to the park. We bear crawled what seemed like forever and whenever a pax stopped they did 10 monkey humpers before crawling again.
Mary: we finally returned to the nest for some Ab(ish) work. 10 monkey humpers, 20 low slow flutter, 20 homer to marge, 20 pickle pounders, 20 reverse LBCs, 10 side crunches each side, and 10 hello dollys before have a nice day.

A Mix of Complaints and Cheers

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

Ya know…everyone is a critic. At Crazy Ivan, it is incumbent on the Q to choose the playlist, so I always choose mine. Today, there were equal numbers of complaints versus kudos for the playlist. “Hell yeah..this is my jam”, “I’m down with Fanny on this one”, “Thowin it back…yeah!”, It’s too loud”, “what the hell are they singing?”, “This makes me wanna go bust stuff up”, “Crazy Ivan…when Fanny’s the Q, you leave angrier then when you got here.”  Good stuff right there.
Warm Up: SSH x 25, Good Mornings, Seal Claps, Frankensteins, Spinal Rotation.
The Workout: This was a “recover on your time workout”, so the timer just kept going. It was a 1:15/:45 Tabata/AMRAP with the Kettlebells. During the 1:15, YHC would call an exercise. During the :45 PAX had a choice of Boobity-Boobitys, Plank Hold, Swings, or Snatches. Rest was entirely up to the PAX. Some PAX took it upon themselves to stretch, run, etc. during the :45. OK. Exercises that YHC called during the 1:15 segments were: Bell Merkins, Bridge Pullover,  Bobbity Boobity, Squats, Suitcase Lift, 1 leg Deadlift, Lawnmower, Halo, Figure 8, Curls for the Girls, 1 Arm Shoulder Press, Ground Pounders, Plank Pull Through, Midget Cookie Pouch, Midget Love Handle, Swings.

The Workout: Started with some Poopeaters x 10 IC in honor of our K9 friend! We then partnered up for some whellbarrow/merkin ladders. Wheelbarrow your partner to parking lines, they start with 1 merkin, move, then 2 at the next…so on until hitting the 7th parking line. Finished in this area with Poopeaters x10 again IC.

Mosey over to the traffic circle in front of the HS and split in two groups. 1 group did an Indian run to the top of the hill and did 5 Star Jumps, while the other group stayed at the circle and did 15 merkins, 15 WW1’s, 15 squats, and 15 burpees. Groups switch. We did 4 rounds of this.

A quick jaunt back to the large lot to do a whole group, lunge walk, bear crawl Indian walk…let’s say. Pax in back of the line is the bear crawler until he gets to the front. All others lunge walk. Everyone got a turn.

Was I Missed?

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

After the callout from Dumbo last week, I realized I hadn’t been to Paradise City in a bit. Well, YHC decided to throw down a “no secrets here” workout, where everyone looped the entire park more than several times. I think around 3.2-3.5 miles, depending on watches, etc. All Pax stepped up to take several turns in calling 10 count exercises at our stops along the way.

FNG’s: none.
Warm Up: Warm up lap around the entire parking/soccer field L loop. Stopped at bottom of ramp, Top of Stairs, Corner of Sportsmanship, Guardrail, top of hill by tennis courts, over by dumpsters, knee wall at top of ramp. Exercises along the way were: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Frankensteins, Irkins, Good Mornings, Sir Fazio’s, Shoulder Taps…all x10.

The Workout: Split in two groups, that ran opposite directions, all stopping at the same spots, to do a PAX choice of a 10 ct. exercise. Two rounds were Indian runs, two rounds were Mosey. We finished a last round together until reaching the basketball courts…literally as time expired.
Mary: built in
Announcements: Long Ass Run Sat. Feb 12th on the ATT…details from Skidmark.
T-Claps (Recognition): Good to see Tetanus back out at Paradise City! Thanks Dumbo for the push!
Prayer: Spoken/Unspoken. Thanks fellas for the opportunity to lead!
