10 PAX Took a Tour of Falcon Park

FNGs:  None

Warm Up:  Circle up and greeted all of the brothers attending the Nest.  Welcome back Cotter, Chicken Hawk and welcome to The Natural, who said he had never been to this AO and wanted to check things out at Falcon Park in FV.  Circled up with 25 SSH, 10 daisy pickers, 10 windmills, 10 Fazio Arm Circles (F&B), 10 IW, 10 HB,  all in cadence and ended with some Michael Phelps.  Five burpees because of a tardy PAX.

The Workout:  Having moved ~12 yards of mulch (out of 20 total) over the past few days, this Q was not moving well this am but had to muster some energy and bring a workout worthy of the Qs who run The Nest.  Remembering The Natural had not been here before, Q decided to take a tour of Falcon Park. We moseyed to the swing sets where PAX did two sets of 10 pull ups, 10 plank jacks and 10 star jumps; held plank to all PAX finished.  Mosey to a short wall and executed two sets of 10 derkins , dips and irkins.  Mosey to the enclosure with picnic tables and did two laps of up and overs said picnic tables.  Hold Al Gore until all PAX completed.  Mosey to the brick wall by baseball field.  On the way, we executed Frankensteins and lunges.  At the wall, Q called 10 count Australian Mt. Climbers, 10 count people’s chair, 10 count BTTW, 10 count people’s chair, 10 count Shoulder taps and 10 count people’s chair.   Mosey to the inclined driveway with some butt kickers thrown in.  Lined up on the incline drive and bear crawled ~ 20 yards to the stop sign.  Lined up next to the stop sign, began jogging up hill and added Right and Left karaoke until reaching the parking spots.  Lined up in front of parking spots and executed “build a bears” with one merkin at curb (each side) initially and then two merkins at the curb (each side) on the way back.  Executed 25 more SSHs making sure the heart rate was up.  Partner up for 10 broke back merkins and 10 paddy cake merkins.   Got on our six for 25 WW IIs and 20 LBCs.  Somewhere around here, Overachiever walked away to his car.  Sent Cupid to check on him.  (Thanks BS for alerting Q that we had lost one.)  It was muggy with high humidity although temps were in the high 60s.  PAX were soaked with sweat equity and we continued with some static stretching on our six while waiting to hear back on the status of Overachiever.  Q had PAX get up and mosey to the parking lot.  It was getting close to COT.  Q wanted to personally check on PAX who was down.  Directed PAX to get water and the circle up for COT.  BS was befuddled having never heard a call for water during a morning Q.  I needed one and thought it was best for all.

Mary: More importantly, Overachiever was better after a brief respite and some WATER, on to COT.  Had the PAX do some plyometric exercises pushing hands together for a 10 count and then pulling hands (fingers grasped) apart for a 10 count.  Rinse/repeat.   Something new.  Instructed PAX to call out one 10 count core exercise.  We executed Cockroaches, pickle pounders,  merkins, boat canoes, side heel taps, box cutters, H2M, to name a few.  Q took us out with various yoga poses and positions including downward dog, runner’s stretch and pigeon.

Announcements:  9/11 convergence, hurricane preparedness

T-Claps (Recognition):  h1N1, Fromunga (any PAX who did EC today)

Prayer:  PAX brother hiking Kilimanjaro (prayers for his safety), hurricane victims (life/property), Crablegs, Noah’s Ark M., and Unspoken.  Thank you Fromunga for taking us out.

9 x 4 + 1

EC: H1N1, Messi, LED, Banana Seat, Pikachu, Fumunga, Cupid (might be leaving someone off, sorry)

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!

Announcements: 9/11 Stair Climb, JoCo Convergence, Q Sheet Sign Up Challenge (let’s fill up the rest of the year!), Fonzie has your Q next week!

Prayer: Capt’n Kirk, Noah’s Ark, Cupid, Unspoken

I spy an Awning!

EC: Fumunga (ran) Shamwow (Slept in his Jeep)

FNGs: Not one in site…or maybe Fumunga? At least a Welcome back Kotter!

Warm Up: It was dark, rainy and few straggling lightning rods in the distance but 5 PAX made the commitment and posted for YHC’s first Q at The Trot.  We decided not to plant the flag and get our star spangled banner wet this morning (I believe it’s not accustomed to get wet in the first place) We headed out of Action Park up and over the bridge to La Supermarkado.  As YHC was squat holding for the Six, he realized there was an awning over the strip mall and quickly modified his plans of visiting Lincoln Heights Elementary this morning.  We stood in the rain for SSH x51, Moroccan Night Clubs x25, Air Squats x20 and Smurf Jacks x15.
The Workout: Apple Turnovers – Bear Crawl to first trash bin, flip over and crab walk to the end of the first run. Mountain Goats x15 and then reverse Apple Turnovers back to start (Crawl Bear – Backwards crab walk) Recovery was Slow Squats x10 and then we repeated the apple turnover, cause we all know they come in two’s at McDonald’s for $1!

Next up we introduced the Doracides. Partnered up to complete a Dora (100 Merkins, 200 Squats, 300 LBC’s) but instead of the other partner running out and back, he was doing suicides with Burpee increments at the Suicide points. Ex: Run to trash can 1 Burpee, back to beginning, run out to 2nd point of reference 2 Burpees and back…you get the point. We did this out to 4 landmarks under the Supermarkado Awning.
Mary: Mary was nice this morning and didn’t ask the PAX to lay on the ground. Moroccan Night Clubs x20, Sir Fazio Arm Circles Fwd x10 Rev x10, Seal Claps x10 all completed in squat position.
Announcements: DD and Dad’s Camp this weekend. 9/11 Stair Climb
T-Claps (Recognition): Fumunga for running EC and Shamwow for showing up for EC
Prayer: Noah’s Ark wife Michelle and the entire family as they travel to Mayo Clinic and look for answers.  Struggling Marriages and for the Men facing challenges to have the courage to reach out and ask for help before it’s to late.

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.

EC:
Cupid, H1N1, Messi, Emeril, Axe, 187, LED, Fonzie, Breach, 8-Bit, Dumbo, Yogurt, Popinski, Wiggly, Banana Seat*(post EC)

Warm Up:

I know it’s probably no big deal to the PAX but I was truly embarrassed about being late today. My body shut down from hearing my alarm which typically I don’t even have to use one. Great job to all you guys for the hard work today. Hopefully, no more malfunctions this week.
