We moseyed over to the wall for some step-ups. naturally 11 on each side for 22 total count and some dips to finish it off.

We caught some wall for balls and peoples chair before heading over to the rock pile to find some friends. After that, if a pax member dropped a rock it was a 10 burpee penalty. We went to a nice shady spot in the parking lot for a circle of fun. Shoker here but it was 22 counts of Curls for the girls, Tricep extensions, Homer to Marge, Bus drivers, Groundpounders Truck twists, Low slow flutter, WWIIs, and Hello Dolly.

A little John Cusak action over to the grass where we circled up for some 90 degree holds followed by some more John Cusack while one member of the pax Duck walked weaved in and out of the pax. Followed by an accidental on purpose drop of the rock for 10 Burpees. John Cusak back to the rock pile to return our friends home for the day.

Mosey over to the disc golf putting area where we circled up for a plank meltdown. One pax member would bear crawl around the outside of the circle where the other members are holding a plank. Regular, chill cut arms up, arms out and so till all the pax went around the circle.

Disney Legwork

/in /by

Pax of 17 came out to Disney for some cool but humid leg work.  Unfortunately there were no turkey legs to be found 🙁

EC: 187, Nemo, Lipstick, Axe

Warm Up:

It began like many other Disney workouts with a run around the soccer fields.  We circled up for some Good Mornings, Mountain Climbers, Side Straddle Hops, and completed our workout with a nice Indian Run to the STAIRS OF DOOM.

The Workout:

We paired off to take on the STAIRS OF DOOM.  Partner 1 ran down the stairs, completed 20x Star Jumps, and then ran back up the stairs.  Meanwhile, partner 2 completed as many Merkins as they could OYO.  The partners swapped off and exchanged Merkins for LBCs for Planks (one round of each until both got a shot).  Once we got to planks we did a little Plank-O-Rama to keep things interesting and had the remaining stair climbers join in as they finished.

We took a short breather and a 10 count before a Mozy to the “walls”

Partner 1 bellied up to the bathroom wall for some Balls to the Wall while partner 2 completed 20 box jumps at the short wall.  The partners swapped out for 3 rounds.  Again we waited for the 6 with some Plank-O-Rama

Mary:

Box Cutters, Low Slow Flutters, Diamond Merkins, Burpees, World War I’s, Goofballs

The Hills Were Alive at Possum Trot – 19 Strong PAX

/in /by

Warm Up:  Ran one loop around tennis courts circling up in parking lot for 20 SSH, 10 Cotton-Pickers, 10 Windmills, 10 Hillbillies, 10 Imperial Walkers, Good Mornings and 10 Arm Cicles (front & back)
The Workout:  PAX partnered up (size did not matter); one PAX grabbed a medium to large rock and made one line across the parking lot.  One partner began bear crawling to midway of parking lot pushing the rock while other partner skipped.  Changed roles at midpoint of parking lot and proceeded to the hill.  At the bottom of the hill, Dauber instructed PAX to send one partner up the hill – bear crawling.  Once they reached the top of the hill, each PAX performed a 7 count of either Derkins, Erkins or Dips on the guardrail OYO.  After completion, PAX carefully headed down the hill taking the rock over from their partner.  While one member was bear crawling, the other partner performed a rock exercise; each rock exercise consisted of 8-12 reps.  The exercise was called out by one PAX rotating up and down the line.  PAX were very creative calling out curls, squats, O/H presses, chest presses, squat presses…ONE caveat, the rock could never touch the ground unless it was a part of the called exercise or Dauber called Recover/Rest. If rock touched the ground, PAX performed 5 burpees.   Additional exercises were added with the rock from the six including, presses, WWIIs, Homer to Marge, etc.  Dauber called an audible and had each PAX run one lap around the tennis court while their partner continued with rock exercises.  Once one lap was completed, PAX swapped roles.  PAX helped bring in the six and began some core exercises started with planks, shoulder taps, merkins, diamond merkins, etc.  PAX returned rocks and met up in the tennis courts.  B2Wall and Al Gores until all PAX lined up for an impromptu monkey hoppers/grabbers.  More running ensued using the tennis courts and finished with alligator merkins to the end of the first court.  PAX and Q spent.
Mary:  Each PAX called out a 10-rep core exercise that began with box-cutters and end with burpees OYO.  At least 8 exercises were performed before running out of time.
Announcements:  CSAUP Greenville – Car pool if able
Prayer:  Double D spoke from the heart.  Strong message.  We hear about “thoughts and prayers”; if you look at some cable TV or social media posts, these powerful words are often dismissed.   Thay’s pure bunk.  These are very powerful words.  When they are spoken, they have powerful meaning and greatly help that person.  Double D asked for prayers for a child who suffered a terrible accident; prayers of thanks/praise for a successful surgery;  H1N1 recovery; final thoughts – loneliness is a killer, F3 brings men together…keep your eyes open for those who need F3.

PAX did great today!  Super job with the hill and rock exercises!

PAX included:  LED, Breech, 8-Bit? (2.0), Double-D, Farva, Vespa, Deadbolt, Gump, Mookie, Midget 4 Life, Stovepipe, R-22, 187, Nemo, Noah’s Ark, Butterfingers, FedEx, The Natural and your Q – Dauber (19 strong)
