Smokey Morning Laps Around The ⚽️ Fields

Blue Suede :bluesuede: and I showed up right on time @ 05:30 and there was only one car in the the parking lot @Disney.

Seems to be a new AO spinning up on Fridays’ but we didn’t let that keep Bondo and I from winning the day with a solid sweat equity session.

It was a bit smokey in the sky due to some forest fires going on in Quebec 🇨🇦. Prayers for those impacted 🙏

Warm Up:

Hillbillies | Imperial Walkers | Good Mornings | Burpees

The Workout:

Moseyed to the new retaining wall at the entrance to Middle Creek High and grabbed smedium 🪨’s (10 – 15 .lbs). We then moseyed up the hill behind the soccer fields and knocked out 3 exercise (uneven pushups | alternating squats | curls for the gurls) after that we took a lap around the soccer fields. I think we got about 4 rounds in. We were drenched that is for sure! Blue Suede was covered in water from the grass so I know he had a blast.

Mary:

Just a few for Mary – homer to marge | box cutters | low slow flutter | boat canoe

FNGs: none

Warm Up: Warmed up on the commute over.

The Workout: YHC was the only PAX this morning, so I called an audible. 5k while picking up trash. For every piece of trash, one merkin and one squat were performed (squat was to pick up the trash). Managed to get 100 pieces of trash (ended up being about two grocery bags’ worth), 100 merkins and 100 squats before calling for time.

Announcements: Picnic on June 24th, CSAUP TOMORROW!

Prayer: neighbor’s brother

Plogging at R4TJ

FNGs: none

The Workout: YHC learned of plogging recently (picking up trash while running/jogging). Global Running Day was coming up and I decided to take the Q and celebrate by plogging. 

4 bags of trash were collected and 3.7 miles were covered in one hour. Pace was definitely affected with lots of starting and stopping. But I still managed to get a decent run in and Main St is cleaner for now. 1st and 3rd Fs accomplished.

Prayer: 187’s mother-in-law, Maybelline’s dad

No Arms Needed

YHC has bee dealing with a shoulder injury the last few weeks which has significantly impacted my ability to post.  I needed to get back out there and realized that the only way to do it while also protecting my shoulder was to Q the workout and make it leg focused, so that’s what I did.

FNGs:  none

Warm Up:

Moseyed around the block with stops at the four corners

Corner 1: Frankenstein x10 IC, Butt Kickers x10 IC

Corner 2: Daisy Pickers x10 IC, Willie Mays Hayes x10 IC

Corner 3: Imperial Walkers x10 IC, Hillbillies x10 IC

Corner 4: Sir Fazio LEG circles.  I made this up.  On your six, feet in the air.  Rotate legs inward for a 10 count in cadence and then rotate outwards for a 10 count.  They were actually not bad, good hip flexor stretch.

The Workout:

We went to one of the parking lot islands for our first station.  One PAX did quick feet around the island while everyone else did squats with leg kicks while they waited.  Once everyone had a chance to go around the circle we switched it up to reverse lunge walk around the circle while those waiting did some sort of LBC (standard, reverse, or side).  Once that circuit was done we proceeded to the pavilion.

Another exercise that YHC invented was next on the list at the picnic tables.  This was an 8-count exercise that was a combination of step ups and calf raises.  Counts 1 and 2 were stepping up on the bench, 3 was calf raise up and 4 was down.  Counts 5 and 6 were stepping off the bench and then 7 and 8 were calf raises up and down.  We did 10 of these in cadence.

After that exercise we took turns doing roman situps.  We had an odd number so YHC waited and did squats until the two groups cycled through and then I had someone spot me for my set.  We then did another set up the step up/calf raise routine before heading to the baseball field.

We gathered around home plate and PAX were instructed that we’d be traversing the base paths.  Like in a game of baseball you weren’t allowed to proceed to the next base if it wasn’t clear so while and if you had to wait you were doing imperial walkers.  Everyone also did imperial walkers while behind the plate either waiting to go or after the finished waiting on the six. Each base path was a different way to move.

Home -> 1st: Lunge walk

1st -> 2nd: Duck walk

2nd -> 3rd: Broad jump

3rd -> Home: Reverse lunge walk

Once everyone was in we did a 30 count calf raise and then did the base paths again, this time in reverse.  If you had to wait at all you were doing people’s chair at the back stop or hillbillies or squat holds on the bases.

Once done with the bases we shot back up to the parking lot for a few cycles of 30 seconds of quick feet followed by 30 seconds of rest. We did three sets before moving on

Mary:

Not a ton of time was left by YHC so it was fairly short.
