Coupon Clipping at Thunder

FNGs:  None but a Welcome Back Kotter – Lipsync (running) stopped by to add to
Warm Up:  So excited to see 10 PAX (Crosby joined later) for the warm-up.  SSH, Seal Claps, O/H claps, Sir Fazios (F+B), Frankensteins
The Workout:  PAX helped me bring dumbbells and kettlebells to the covered picnic tables.  The idea was simple:  grab something, do as many reps as possible of an exercise with a coupon until the timer is done.  What was our timer?  Rather – who?  One pax ran to the playground and hung out for 30 seconds or knocked out 5-10 pull-ups and ran back to shelter.  ROTATE.  Special thanks for John Deere and Cancun for bringing their (wicked heavy) ruck sacks and Gump for setting up a TRX band.  Exercises included, curls for the girls, flies, lawnmowers, overhead press, tricep curls, swings, cross arm curls, etc.  YHC tried spicing things up with a poorly executed Indian run with a kettlebell around the pitch.  Disaster.  Got things straightened out after pausing for some plank jacks along the way.  Returned to the shelter for some people’s chair and BTTW.  YHC led 10c, 15c and 20c rinse and repeats.  Finished with more work with the coupons using a 30 cc LBC Pax timer.  All 11 pax rotated through.
Mary:  Stretching.  Mumble chatter. R-rated.
Announcements:  Couch to 5K at Cletus.
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer:  Gump led us out –  injured PAX, UNSPOKEN.

Sweet Sixteen at Red October

FNGs:  none. FIVE PAX at RO.
Warm Up:  Joined Seat and Mutiny PAX.  Ran around pitch, backwards up hill, circled up in parking lot for SSH, Frankensteins, OH claps, seal claps….
The Workout:  pre-blast mentioned some “madness” adding running laps around ClubWorx with a bunch of kettle bell exercises.  Each exercise (16 count cadence).  Three laps were added in after completing 5 exercises totaling ~1.4 miles.  80’s Rock music and Mumble chatter about all 16 remaining NCAA teams in the tournament.  These exercises stand out in my mind:

Upright Rows

Nipplers

Curls for the Girls

Snatches

Upper body rows

Crossover curls

Kneeling O/H presses

Step Ups on the wall/bench

 

Mary:  Gathered with Mutiny on tennis court for some much-needed stretching.

Returned rocks.  Step ups on curbs.  Bobby Hurley’s back and forth.  Mosey to Tennis courts for Mary.  Did some time on the wall with multiples of BTTW and people’s chair.
