Almost 46

/in /by

What a beautiful morning it was today.  Maybe a bit damp but no water falling from the sky and temps were just right.  It’s the day before my birthday so I took the Q and promised to make the numbers 16 and 46 prominent and I think that was accomplished.

FNGs: None

Warm up:

SSH x 46 IC

Sir Fazio Arm Circles x10 IC forward and reverse

Daisy Pickers x10 IC

Trunk rotations x10 IC

Frankenstein x10 IC

Burpee x 8 OYO

The Workout:

We built a pyramid of exercises today.  The format was simple, we’d start at 10 and work to 1 and then back down.  The first set would be just the 10, then the 10 and 8, then 10,8, and 7. So on and so forth.  And yes, I left 9 out on purpose because 10+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 46.  The exercises were as follows:

10 – Swings

8 – Figure 8 (duh)

7 – Goblet Squats

6 – Curls for the girls

5 – Tris for the guys

4 – Lawn mowers

3 – Midget love handles

2 – Turkish Getup

1 – One minute of plank switches or holding plank when you needed a rest

Once we got through that we did another 8 burpees to bring the total to 16.  We then worked our way backwards down the pyramid, removing exercises as we went.  So the first round we eliminated the plank, second round we eliminated the Turkish getup, etc.  This took us all the way to the end.

Mary:

There really wasn’t time for it.  We spent a minute doing a bit of light stretches.

Announcements:
