Poles at Kenny’s Grave

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , ,

FNGs: @Kimura

PAX: @Gamecock, @Finkle, @Slots
Warm Up: SSH, Daisy Pickers, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies,
The Workout: On the large softball field we did an exercise at each pole and stacked the exercises from the previous poles.  We moved from pole to pole by bear crawl, lunge walk, or sprint.  It was amazing just how far apart those stupid poles were.  Especially with the bear crawls!

Double 21’s

PAX: , , ,

FNGs: none

PAX: @gamecock, @Abacus, @Warbucks, @Finkle
Warm Up: Started off with Good Mornings and Daisy Pickers, transitioned to Hillbillies and Imperial Walkers, next quad stretches and bending over to touch toes, moved into downward dog to runners pose.
The Workout: Double 21’s.  We did regular 21s but then stacked two exercises so it took a really long time.  Started off with people’s chair with seal claps (20) and airpress (20) then moved over to step ups at the park benches both legs counting as one set.  We moved through this until we got to 11 people’s chair with arm workouts and 11 step ups and switched to 10 sumo squats both sides counting as one set and (11) dips and finished working our way through the set.  I shared with the group that those sumo squats were probably gonna hurt tomorrow and they were giving me that special feeling…
Mary: ABC’s, then sets of 20 in cadence with LBC’s, Reverse LBC’s, and Homer to Marge
Announcements: Q Swap with Carpex next week.

It was a nice summer morning and a break from the humidity, but we still donated sweat to the sacred ground of The Nest.

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Good mornings, windmill, SSH, imperial walkers, hillbillies, Michael Phelps
The Workout: First thing was a Route 66 with a jog stopping at each light pole along the road. Exercises built up 1 rep as we got to each pole. Is that a light pole or an electric pole? A stadium light? Doesn’t matter, exercise! 4 rounds with Merkins, squats, burpees, WW2s. Thing 2 was a round of Survivor. Went thought a list of exercises and the worst one was voted off by the group, then rinse and repeat with what’s left. To make it interesting, each member had an immunity which would negate the vote result. This resulted in some power trips and light mumbling between rounds. Order of elimination: Slow burpee, starjump, out-n-back inchworm, Daft Punk (around the world lunge), Carolina Dry Dock.
Mary: LBCs, sweat angels, boat canoes, American hammers
Announcements: Carpex Q swap

Speed Traps

PAX: , , , ,

FNGs: none

PAX: @Gamecock, @Beerpressure, @Abacus, @Martini, @Finkle
Warm Up: Mosey around the ballpark track doing butt kickers, high knees and crossovers.  Then did SSH, Good Mornings, Daisy Pickers, Hillbillies, leg stretches
The Workout: Grabbed a rock and hit the road.  At each intersection we stopped to do a prescribed rock exercise until we came to our beloved FQV speed trap sign.  We then went to task to see who was the fastest sprinter.  Each person that sprinted then picked an exercise with their rock to lead the group through.  YHC ended up being the fastest with 18 MPH with several others with a close 17 MPH.  But whose to say it was a competition b/c we’re all winners.  Next we went down to the park and did a bear crawled up a couple hills with exercises at the top and bottom and took a nice mosey back to the Grave to finish out with prayer.
Mary: none, field trip took too long.

Did We Win or Lose Today?

A muggy, wet morning out at the grave left no man dry upon completion of a workout led by YHC and a deck of cards.

FNG’s: no sir
Warm Up: A mosey lap around the various lots of Kenny’s Grave stopping for exercises, which were: SSH x40, Windmills x12, Seal Claps x12, Overhead Claps x12, Daisy Pickers x12, Mountain Climbers x40.
The Workout: We split into 2 teams of 4 pax each. Each team had to complete 100 burpees total. So one man would do some burpees while the others did Plank Jacks, SSH, and LBC’s. PAX would rotate until all burpees were complete. this was a great routine I borrowed from Yoda.

We then took another mosey lap and did some fast feet along the way. We then moved on to the deck of cards, which we got though about 45 of them. Hearts = Merkins, Diamonds = Diamond Merkins, Clubs = alternate lunges IC, Spades = Squats, Face Card Hearts = 5 burpees, Face Card Diamonds = 5 count BTTW per PAX, Face Card Spades = 10 squat jumps, Face Card Clubs = People’s Chair 10 count per PAX, Jokers = 10 Turkish Get-Ups.
