Disney 6/16

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , ,

4 Pax took on the terrain that is Disney  (LED, Best in Show, Abacus and Breach on the Q) 

Warm Up: Mosey around the soccer field and then circle up for 22 count exercises of Imperial Walkers, Good Mornings, and SSH.

The Workout: Mosey over to the abyss for some crawl bear to the bottom and then bear crawl back up, performing 11 merkins and the bottom and 11 Pickle pounders at the top, rinse and repeat for another round to equal (22) of each exercise. Mosey back to the soccer fields for some Crab Walk Soccer. The team that gets scored on had to do 10 Homers to marges, then with one leg up then the other, so it pays to be a winner. Turns out that a kickball is not the best choice for this type of event, but we made it work. We needed to take a lap around the field in the middle to give our shoulders a break.

We wrapped with 22 merkins with a ball pass around the square.

Mary: Circled up for 22 counts of Heel taps, dying cockroaches, and hello dollys

Announcements: F3 picnic on July 30th at Harris Lake

I wanted to relive some old school workouts at PT so that’s what we did. Everyone survived but not without some moaning and groaning. Heck I think I ever moaned some from my stupid ideas.

Warm Up: 22 reps counts of SSH, Windmills, Imperial Walkers/Hillbillies and Good Mornings

The Workout: a Little mosey around the back of the center for 3 rounds of alternating Balls to the Wall and Peoples chair, while the other 1/2 of the pax did some plank holds, LBC’s, 6in leg holds, absolutions and some merkins.

This was followed by a bear crawl Indian run and then some movement to the other side of the parking lot for 4 corners of fun. Midget made us partner up and learn a few things about our partner as well as ran, bear crawled and crab-walked around the square. We stopped at each corner for 15 counts of Merkins, Squats, LBC’s and Starjumps.

Another mosey to the front of Globo gym for some real Indian runs back to start

Mary: 22 counts of hello dolly followed by 2 mins of stretching to close out the workout

Announcements: (Midge4Life) Get to know your fellow pax, he may just need to have someone ask if he is doing ok. Its important that we know each other as people not just as the guys that work out together.

(Breach) there are some mentor opportunities with the Travis Manion Foundation coming up. Details will follow on Slack for anyone that is interested.

CLosed in Prayer:

The Workout:

Mosey to the rock pile. Grab a rock “your M would be impressed by” and circle up.

We rotated around the rock pile and did curls, tri-ceps, overhead press, ground pounders, upright rows, and bus drivers.

Carry the rock over to the wall for 3 repeats each of 20 IC balls to the wall 20 IC preacher’s chair.

Cusack the rocks across the park to the basketball hoops for our main event.

Pax made two lines holding plank. Pax at front of each line shot with the first shot coming from the 3-point line and subsequent being a free for all. First to make the basket did 5x of that round’s exercise (merkins, squats, turkish getups) while the loser did 10x.

We wrapped up with each pax taking a halfcourt shot. Pax were advised that misses added 1 and makes took off 5. After 12 misses we did our 12x penalty burpees.

Mosey back cusacking to the rock pile and then back to start. We had time for 20x LBCs and low slow flutters followed by some yoga for the many pax that had run to U-Turn and then back to Ground Pounder.

Red October’s Little Blue Boombox and Puddles

PAX: , , , ,

FNGs: 0
Warm Up: Joined up with Mutiny for a warm-up by Banana Seat https://f3southwake.com/2022/06/13/f-n-g/

The Workout:

While the counts and order of workouts didn’t always stay the same – the general intention was to complete the circuit and start over again as time allowed.  YHC often counted to 9 instead of 10.  Remembered the speaker but left the phone in the car.  Generally, I find Qing kettle bell workouts a little stressful but at one point through this Puddles said “Well I’m sweating!” which made all the difference.

  • Overhead press (10 each arm)
  • Swings (10 each arm)
  • Step-ups with bells (10 each leg)
  • Skull Crushers (15)
  • American Hammers (15)
  • Figure 8s (15)
  • Tricep Extensions (15)
  • Lap Around the field
  • Start back at the top and repeato 3x through the course of the workout

Mary: Low Slow Flutters, Homer to Marge, Dying Cockroach, Supermans, and Captain Thor (thanks BS)

Announcements:

  • 5th of July volunteers for Holly Springs fireworks, See Abe
  • Stubbs meal train
  • BBQ July 30th – start thinking about what to bring
