PAX: , , , , , , , ,

I arrive to the AO about 5 minutes before start time as I turn back to my car to get my gloves a figure comes out of the darkness on the playground side of The Nest, startled I quickly realized it was R-22 coming for a beat down after sometime away. 9 showed up for a beat down with 3 doing EC.

PAX: H1N1, Overachiever, Messi, FedEx, Dauber, R-22, Cupid, Yosemite, 16-Bit

 

EC:  H1N1, Overachiever, Messi

 

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Took a jog around the parking lot and then circled up for some Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Fozie Arm Circles, Cherry Pickers and stretches. We then got on our 6 for some Febreezes, which are big boy sit-ups followed by air presses with your feet six inches off the ground.

The Workout: Moysed over to the wall where we partnered up, to Dauber and R-22 disappointment we did not do BTW. P1 did “Bobby Hurley’s” while P2 ran to the first island, did 1 burpee and ran back, then ran to the light pole and did 2 burpees, then ran back for the switch. We did this 2x.

 

Moysed to the top parking lot – side road for some partner Merkins x 10,  then as P1 ran down the side road while P2 did SSH, Plank Jacks, and Mountain Climbers x 10. Switch. After P2 returns, both pax ran down together and did partner jump squats. Both ran back up to rinse and repeat.

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Moseyed around the lot, then 25 SSH IC, 15 Imperial Walkers IC, 15 Hillbillies IC, 10 Sir Fozio Arm Circles F + R, Michael Phelps

The Workout: Don’t drop the baby! YHC arrived with a 10 lb medicine ball. Each drop, we all stopped and did 3 burpees.

~1 mile indian run with the medicine ball. PAX at the back runs to the front carrying the ball, tosses it behind him. Once it gets to the back of the line, the next PAX runs to the front.

Next, we all got on our six in a line. PAX tossed the ball to the person next to them, then ran to the front of the line. With 6 PAX we were moving pretty fast, as soon as you got on the ground you got the ball thrown to you.

After that was a Dora. Partnered up, exercises were overhead claps x 100, seal claps x 200, squats x 300. Partner running. Ball could be passed at any time to the PAX doing exercises. During squats, ball was passed between runners.

Final portion of the workout was BTTW relay. PAX holding the ball held a people’s chair for a 5 count, passed the ball to the next in line. Repeated until everyone went.

Mary: 10 minutes left so we hit abs hard during Mary. Went through the circle twice, each PAX picking an exercise each time. I was sweaty during the workout but I was drenched after Mary, solid work HIM!

Announcements: Check Slack, FB. Stay safe out there while running. Wear lights, stay aware. Lots of non-road areas to run around here as well.

PAX: , , , ,

FNGs: None

5 Pax showed up and flew the coop for an old school Alley beatdown brought to you by H1N1 – 3 Pax for EC (Cupid, Overachiever, and H1N1) – 1 Pax for ECEC (Cupid).

Warm Up: The Q decided it best to warm-up along the way in route to the Alley workout.  Began in the parking lot with 10 cadence count of BTW followed by feet shuffle on the parking lot bumpers on our way out of the Nest.  Along the way to the alley, the Pax stopped periodically and performed the following warm-up exercises – SSH x 10 IC; Good mornings x 10 IC; IW and HB x 10 IC; and Daisy Pickers x 10 IC.
The Workout: Upon arriving into the Alley, the Q pointed out today’s workout will involve the use of 3 cement filled cinder blocks.  The workout went down like this —

  • Round 1 – 3 Pax performed goblet squats with cement cinders while 2 Pax sprinted to the end of the alley and performed 10 merkins and then sprinted back.  Stations were rotated until each Pax completed 2 sprints through the Alley.
  • Round 2 – 3 Pax performed feet shuffle using the cement cinders while 2 Pax sprinted to the end of the alley and performed 10 LBCs and then sprinted back. Stations were rotated until each Pax completed 2 sprints through the Alley.
  • Round 3 – 3 Pax held the plank position with the cement cinders while 2 Pax sprinted to the end of the alley and performed 5 burpees and then sprinted back.  Stations were rotated until each Pax completed 2 sprints through the Alley.

The Pax then began the return to the nest but not without some more exercises along the way.  Step ups – 10 L and 10 R.  Erkins and derkins 10 count each, then rinse and repeat.

Mary: Upon the return to the nest, finished up with feet shuffle using the parking lot bumpers and concluded with a final 10 cadence count of BTW.

FNGs: None

Warm Up: 20 SSH IC, 10 Fozzy Arm Circles F+R IC,15 Imperial Walkers IC, 15 Hillbillies IC

The Workout: Indian run to train tracks, 2 hand release merkins

Plan was to do 11s while carrying a steel railroad tie back and forth. Turns out railroad ties are way more unwieldy then I thought and that was not a reasonable option. Modified to some sort of rubber railroad tie they had.

Merkins on one side, WW2s on the other. After we got to 8 we cut it short and did 11 WW2s

Ran back to The Nest and found Dovetail! Still not quite in the right time zone from Vegas. We did 3 sets of irkins, derkins, and dips before Mary.

Mary: 15 HtM, 5 HtM left leg up, 5 HtM right leg up, 10 dead cockroaches. Each PAX then picked an exercise. 5 Captain Thors, Low slow flutter followed by 6 inch hold, 5 burpees (didn’t see that coming R22…), and X-men situps.
