Diamond Rio at Possum Trot

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Good mornings, Side Straddle Hops, Windmills, Imperial Walkers, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps

The Workout: 4 HIM moseyed to the rocks, grabbed our pick of the litter to play a game YHC calls Boulder Bases. Along the road surrounding the tennis courts, we started at one corner (1st base) doing rock exercises of 10 overheads, 10 triceps, 10 squats, and 10 curls for the girls. Rifle carried our rocks to 2nd base and dropped them before doing non-rock exercises at each base (20 plank jacks at 2nd base, add 15 Merkins at 3rd base, add 10 side straddle hops at “home plate,” and add 5 burpees at 1st base) before returning to 2nd base to do another round of rock exercises. Then we rifle carried the rocks to 3rd base. We carried on this routine until we could get the rocks to home plate. We changed up the non-rock exercises throughout, but kept the same structure of 20 reps, +15 reps, +10 reps, +5 burpees. At Home Plate, Diamond Rio’s 90’s hit song Nowhere Bound was played on repeat the entire workout because…why not?

The Workout: PAX moseyed over to an uphill section of the parking lot. Along the parking lines, we did 1 burpee lunge before karaoking to the other side of the parking lot to do the same on that side. 14 burpee lunges in total. Headed downhill on the parking lot, we did 2 Peter Parkers to a lunge before shuffling to the other side of the parking lot to do the same on that side. 28 Peter Parker lunges in total.

Moseyed up to the starting spot where cinder blocks, a sledge hammer, and an ab roller were waiting for us. We split into 1s and 2s. 1s worked toward an individual total of 50 Curls for the Girls, 50 Shoulder Press, 50 Ruh rows, 50 Sledgehammer squats and 50 Norma Jean Riley’s (ab rolling). 2s ran to the other side of the parking lot to do 5 burpees and 10 WWIIs before running back to the 1s. 1s and 2s exchanged spots until each got to their 50 reps in.

Cletus – Spontaneous Q
/in , /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , ,

EC: LED, Woody, Yogurt. Arrived at 5 am fully expecting to see Breach and his truck full of toys. Oh, he’ll be here for the main event. His pre-blast indicated he was ready to go and bringing coupons. Surely he’ll be here for he main event! OK, 5:30 rolls around–no Breach! I love Q-ing at Cletus, so here goes?
Warm Up: Mosey to top of Ivan lot. Circle up for 50 SSHs, series of arm circles (front, back, seal claps, overhead, chinooks). Gillette rolled in just a minute late, so we all did five burpees OYO. Thanks Gillette, I like burpees.

The Workout: Mosey to amphitheater and the ledge. Lined up for derkins in an Indian Run formation. That is, everybody plank up in derkin position, tight to one end. The phrase “tighten up” triggered the human jukebox–Arthur Fonzarelli (Fonzie) to sing “Tighten Up” by Archie Bell and the Drells–nice! The “Indian” does five merkins, calling them out. Then, runs to head of the line. Cycle through til each PAX had done three rounds. Additional round including step ups and dips. This took a while.

OK, let’s do the same formation, but with balls to the wall (BTW) and preacher’s chair. We went all the way around the back wall of the amphitheater twice. This took a while. But, on the second round of BTW, the wall shifted and we stopped that exercise.

Mosey to the playground. Time for a mini-Murph. Partner up for accountability. Partners do five pullups together, then do 15 merkins together. Next, partners for five pullups together, then do 20 squats together. We continued for as many rounds as possible until 6 minutes before end of workout.

Mosey to pickleball courts with radar guns for Mary

Mary: Popcorn Mary
Announcements: F3 picnic; Expect to see Dr. Ryan next Friday (6/24/22), a Spartan racer that Cupid, Gillette, and I head-locked. Woody rolled by and said, “Never not head-locking”!
Prayer: Stubs and family, 3-Alarm full recovery

Disney 6/16

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , ,

4 Pax took on the terrain that is Disney  (LED, Best in Show, Abacus and Breach on the Q) 

Warm Up: Mosey around the soccer field and then circle up for 22 count exercises of Imperial Walkers, Good Mornings, and SSH.

The Workout: Mosey over to the abyss for some crawl bear to the bottom and then bear crawl back up, performing 11 merkins and the bottom and 11 Pickle pounders at the top, rinse and repeat for another round to equal (22) of each exercise. Mosey back to the soccer fields for some Crab Walk Soccer. The team that gets scored on had to do 10 Homers to marges, then with one leg up then the other, so it pays to be a winner. Turns out that a kickball is not the best choice for this type of event, but we made it work. We needed to take a lap around the field in the middle to give our shoulders a break.

We wrapped with 22 merkins with a ball pass around the square.

Mary: Circled up for 22 counts of Heel taps, dying cockroaches, and hello dollys

Announcements: F3 picnic on July 30th at Harris Lake

Red October’s Little Blue Boombox and Puddles

PAX: , , , ,

FNGs: 0
Warm Up: Joined up with Mutiny for a warm-up by Banana Seat https://f3southwake.com/2022/06/13/f-n-g/

The Workout:

While the counts and order of workouts didn’t always stay the same – the general intention was to complete the circuit and start over again as time allowed.  YHC often counted to 9 instead of 10.  Remembered the speaker but left the phone in the car.  Generally, I find Qing kettle bell workouts a little stressful but at one point through this Puddles said “Well I’m sweating!” which made all the difference.

  • Overhead press (10 each arm)
  • Swings (10 each arm)
  • Step-ups with bells (10 each leg)
  • Skull Crushers (15)
  • American Hammers (15)
  • Figure 8s (15)
  • Tricep Extensions (15)
  • Lap Around the field
  • Start back at the top and repeato 3x through the course of the workout

Mary: Low Slow Flutters, Homer to Marge, Dying Cockroach, Supermans, and Captain Thor (thanks BS)

Announcements:

  • 5th of July volunteers for Holly Springs fireworks, See Abe
  • Stubbs meal train
  • BBQ July 30th – start thinking about what to bring

T-Claps (Recognition):

It was great to see Puddles – always good to have one of our own return for a visit.

Prayer:

Prayer: Pray for us, a lot of shootings out there, we need to heal together as a country. Talk to your kids about an active shooter. They need to know what it is so they can be aware of the situation if it ever arises.
