Hollywood Birthday Party

/in /by

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Based on the weather, all PAX headed for the parking deck as soon as 5:30:00 arrived. Warmed up and stretched with Side Straddle Hops, Good Mornings,  Frankenstein’s, and Willy Mays Hays. 

The Workout: PAX tackled a few exercises named after Hollywood classics.

  • First – The Imperial March: Imperial walkers, performed while marching in a circle for the duration of the John Williams classic ‘The Imperial March (Darth Vader’s Theme)”. PAX complained about how long the song was, but not loudly enough to get relief from the Q.
  • Second – Catch Me If You Can: PAX partnered up for a race of sorts. At the sound of ‘GO’, partner one performed five burpees. While partner one performed burpees, partner two attempted to flee as quickly as possible while running backwards. Upon completing the required burpees, partner one sprinted to catch their fleeing partner. Flapjack. Repeato while replacing Burpees with 10 diamond merkins.
  • Third – Field of Dreams: PAX counted off by four, then split to each of the 4 designated ‘bases’. At the sound of ‘GO’, Home plate performed 10 burpees, 1st performed AMRAP merkins; 2nd held a plank; 3rd AMRAP Squats. When homeplate completed the required burpees, they raced down the baseline to first, starting the chain of all stations rotating as they were tagged out. Repeato until all PAX performed burpees. 
  • Round 2 of Catch Me If You Can
  • Round 2 of Field of Dreams, replacing burpees with dips, merkins with derkins, planks with LBCs, squats with Sumo squats
  • Round 3 of Catch Me If You Can – At this point, it became a challenge among PAX to travel further than their partner did. @U.T.I. attempted to gain extra distance on @wildturkey through the use of evasive maneuvers. @wildturkey elected to instead take a shortcut to put a stop to @U.T.I.’s shenanigan’s. 
  • Round 3 of Field of dreams, replacing dips with burpees, derkins with Erkins, LBCs with low-slow-flutter, Sumo Squats with preachers chair.

Ended with a game called Rock Paper Scissors. each PAX measured how many overhead claps they could perform in 20 seconds. They then partnered up to compete in an effort to see who could reach their predetermined number of claps first. In the event of a tie, RPS was played to determine the winner.  After four rounds it was determined that @bestinshow was truly the best-in-show and could have a viable career as a bird if he desired. 

Ended with COT where Q provided doughnut holes for all PAX in celebration of 34 trips around the sun. Nothing makes you want doughnuts like sweaty cardio on a humid morning.

Announcements: None

Prayer: Davis’s (@davisteitelbaumF3;3Alarm) recovery, @BobbyBoucher’s 2.0 Walt (F3 Bolt) recovery from breathing difficulties yesterday, @Kosher’s mother-in-law recovery from breast cancer.
