05.07.2024 The Nest 1:4 ratio

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Warm-up: SSH, Sir Fazio Arm Circles (forward and back), Cherry Pickers, Good Mornings, Willie Mayes Hayes, Mosey Lap

Main Event: This morning was especially designed to get long reps of several exercises. At each corner of the block around the park we did a 1:4 ratio exercise except for the Berp & Merk station cause that would have really sucked.  Corner 1: Berp & Merk which was a burpee with the merkin portion of the burpee increasing each time.  Going to 10 so round 1 was a regular burpee, round 2 burpee with 2 merkins, round 3 burpee with 3 merkins etc.  Corner 2: Lt. Dan Taylors.  1:4 ratio of squats to lunges all the way up to 10 squats and 40 lunges.  The goal was to not be able to feel your legs at the end.  Corner 3: Jack Webb, ol’ jack made us do 1:4 merkins to air press up to 10 merkins and 40 air presses. Corner 4: Last but not least was Captain Thors.  These bad boys rounded out the morning with a 1:4 ratio of big boy sit-ups and American Hammers.  So up to 10 big boys and 40 American Hammers to feel that burn deep down inside.

COT: @Finkle’s brother and family during separation from wife and moving out etc. @Nemo loosing mom to cancer.  Prayers for him and the family during this tough time.  On going court case that @Enough is part of with NC State Health plan.

**** @Warbucks was out rucking around spying on us. ****

Warm-Up: Mosey lap, Sir Fazio arm circles, Hillbillies, SSH, Good Mornings, Walkouts

Main Event: Pax got a rock of choice from the rock pile and we went over to the squarish rectangle by the flag pole for a fun time of 4 corners.  We did ab exercises at corner 1 with our rocks, corner 2 was a version of wall exercises, corner 3 was  a leg station, and corner 4 was a push-up station.  Moving around the stations was a real treat.  We did bear crawls, crab walks, lunge walks, and duck walks.

Mary: ABC’s (good choice @Griswold) and Pickle Pounders (a @Haggis special).

COT: Prayers for @Finkle’s brother and family, @H1N1’s daughter.

PAX:  @Firstblood, @Haggis, @K I T T Y L I T T R, @Rico, @H1N1, @Griswold @Enough, @Finkle

Q Extraordinare: @Finkle

Event 1: Batman’s -> a fantastic way to kick off.  We did a short little mosey around the park and stopped at the brick wall behind the dugouts. Started with 50 bat wings, 10 sec hold x8 of balls to the wall, 50 overhead claps, 10 sec hold x8 of balls to the wall, 50 air presses, and 10 sec hold x8 of balls to the wall.  Since @Rico was still smiling I figured we would stay for a round of people’s chair.

Event 2: Welsh Dragons (modified) -> in the center field we did 10 sets of 10 bear crawls followed by 1 merkin & 1 plank jack with increasing in number of exercises.  Meaning ending with 10 merkins and 10 plank jacks (in cadence of course).

Event 3: We finished off the morning with 2 circuits of exercises using some of Finkle’s favorite toys.  Cindy and her big sister, a jump rope, exercise cube, exercise ladder, and 8lb weighted exercise ball.  This completed the trifecta.  Exercises for 1st circuits were timer ran around the parking lot, chest press with big sister, curls for the girls with Cindy, WW1’s with weighted ball, roll the dice for your exercise, jump rope, and squats.  2nd circuit exercises were rut rows with big sister, overhead press with Cindy, American hammers with weighted ball, roll dice for your exercise, jump rope, and lunges.  But alas we ran out of time to complete 2nd circuit.

Mary: none

COT: @FirstBlood and decisions about college to attend in fall, praise that @H1N1 didn’t get kidnapped while across the pond in England.
