BB a day late but a year better

FNGs: none

Warm Up: the usual suspects – SSH, IW/HB, leg and arm stretches, good mornings

The Workout: Dora’s ugly step-sister Mora(?)

Pax broke into groups of 3.

Partner 1 starred at bottom of the hill completing in no specific order (at least) 100 reps of each with a rock – curls for the girls, shoulder/chest press, tricep extensions.

While partner one was repping, partner 2 ran up the hill, stopping mid way to enjoy 5 burpees before making it to partner 3. Partner 3, who was at the top, was working through (in no specific order) (at least) 100 reps of each – merkins, squats, and WWII’s.

Relay race style, once partner 2 reached partner 3, partner 3 ran down (stopping mid way for that lovely burpee break) to partner 1 and the bob and weave continued until the one-year-old-F3 :Q wrapped up this warm up (27 min deep) and sent the PAX moseying to the tennis courts

After a brief plank hold for the six and some mumble chatter about Mary…. we lined up on the baseline for more fun

1st set – bear crawl 1/2, jog 1/2  across courts into 20 shoulder tap balls to the wall with a 1/2 bear crawl 1/2 jog back to starting line for 1:5 deep squat into calf raises

2nd set – bear crawl full distance across courts into 20 shoulder tap balls to the wall with a full bear crawl back to starting line for 1:5 deep squat into calf raises

3rd set – bear crawl 1/2 jog 1/2 across courts into 20 shoulder tap balls to the wall with a full bear crawl back to starting line for 1:5 deep squat into calf raises

FNGs: None

Warm Up: YHC welcomed the crowd to his 37th bday bash, little anxious for some reason but got it going quick.  Explained to the gang that we were going to do 37 – 1 min exercises (cadence/OYO); then circle up for Mary.  I broke it up into Heats and tried to incorporate an Upper, Lower, Core and Run into each one.  Here’s how it went down…

The Workout:

Warm up: FAC’s (fwd/rev), Leg Stretches/Frankenstiens,  Good Mornings/Side Stretches, Run around tennis court and pick up rock (last part took a little longer than 1 min so we made up for it next)

Heat 1: Curls for the Girls (1,2) with Squat (3,4) with rock, Imp. Walkers, run around tennis court (run took a little longer than 1 min so again we made up for it next)

Heat 2: Overhead Press (1,2) with Lunge in place (3,4) with rock, Hillbillies, run (this time to the hill and back to stay on time)

Heat 3: Alternating Merkins with rock, Homer to Marge (alternating leg raise), LBC’s, run to Snack Shack

Heat 4: Durkins, Box Jumps/Step Ups, WWII’s, run up hill and back

Heat 5: Balls to Wall and People’s Chair (swapping every 30 secs, American Heel Taps, run up hill and back

Heat 6: Urkins, Monkey Humpers, J. Lo’s, run up hill back to rock

Heat 7: YHC asked for a 10 count…then back to it; rut rows, star jumps, American Hammers with rock, run to hill and back

Cool Down: Tri Extensions with rock, Al Gore with rock (bus driver style if you choose), Plank Hold (PAX were doing different variations based on ability/call outs; good work men!), run to return rock, meet back at tennis court

Wait! What!? That’s only 36 exercises…oh yeah, here is the +1, 10 Burpees OYO

Mary: We had Mary with all kinds of exercises; Freddy Mercury’s, Box Cutters, Diamond Merkins, others I can’t remember…but we did finish with 5 Burpees OYO.

It was a great honor to lead you all today, each one of you has an impact on my journey and so many others.  Great work out there and way to push each other, I appreciate you all!

Better Late than Never – UvU3

UvU Day 3. Evidently my body was feeling it today. YHC had a difficult morning getting things going. Alarm was set for 0430. Slept right through it. 0523 on the phone and I had to do a double take. I shot out of bed shaking about what to do. Missed EC already. Barely got my contacts in and forgot to drain the main vain. Shot out the door and text Emeril asking him to do warm ups until I arrived. Pulled up to the first stop sign and an elderly person in a Cadillac pulled out first, ah great just my luck. However, this person had a lead foot I appreciated. Both of us hauling tail down Angier Rd. YHC arrived 0536 as warm ups were wrapping up. Took a second to release my liquid before running over to the plethora of HIM all ready to get started. I apologized to the group and did my 5 burpees OYO. Then we blasted off due to my adrenaline rush still on high.

We continued this partner chase with 10 Lunge Walks, 15 Imperial Walkers, 20 Merkins, 25 Plank hold, 30 Side Straddle Hops.  PAX covered about 1.5 miles during the chase.  UTI handed the reigns back to YHC and we mosey to the back of the school.  At the back of the school we met some knee walls and did another circuit.
