A Christmas tree and Menorah in front of a community center outdoor amphitheater in early morning.

A tea party of sorts

/in /by

FNGs: none

Warm Up: After an enthusiastic start and 5 burpee penalty, we went on a quick mosey around downtown. Then good mornings, imperial walkers, hillbillies, daisy pickers, sir fazio arm circles, seal claps and overhead claps.

The Workout: Thing 1: PAX were instructed to get a “shmedium” rock. Instructions were apparently unclear and some PAX went big. 30 count curls for the girls / tricep extensions / squats. Bear crawl through the light tunnel in front of the library. 20 count exercises, bear crawl. 10 count exercises, bear crawl. PAX were quizzed on their knowledge of the Boston Tea Party, which happened 251 years ago today in 1773.
We returned our rocks in patriotic tea bashing fashion and moseyed to the half circle.

Thing 2: 10 merkins, lunge walk to center Island, 10 WWIIs, mosey to end of half circle, 10 squats. Repeat twice more for 3 rounds total. Mosey back to the Christmas tree.

Thing 2.5: People’s chair for a 10 count down the line, total of 50, next to the Christmas tree. Back to the start for Mary.

Mary: Popcorn Mary with some quick stretching.

Announcements: Panthers game next weekend. Also, Nemo reminded us of the importance of stretching and how easily we let that go.

Prayer: Pumpkin Spices children, Nemo’s brother-in-law, Best In Show

What do Cicada’s and The View have in common?

/in /by

Warm Up:

All exercises (x15)

  • Good mornings
  • Imperial Walkers
  • Hillbillies
  • Mtn. Climbers
  • Sir Fazio Arm Circles

The Workout:

Partner Dora was the name of the game:
1 partner ran to the stop sign and back
– 300 Squats
– 200 LBC
– 100 Merkins

2 rounds
Wall Sits
Erkins / Derkins & Dips

As we over by the half wall doing erkins derkins and dips the mumble chatter started and Nemo got to talking about the cicada’s that are all over our neighborhood. He thought it was some of the construction trucks near by the cicads were so loud! I have to admit these cicada’s are pretty loud. Next, Gizmo chimes in with “you know The View said that Lunar Eclipse has something to do with the 2 different types of cicada’s that are emerging from the ground” I didn’t think to much of it besides the fact that it’s a weird coincidence.

Nemo quickly said, “On a side note, how long have you been watching The View Gizmo?”  We all lost it and had a good laugh.

Mary:

Popcorn Marry – My favorite was Bondo’s “Alex” – A JLo combined with a pickle pounder 🤣

T-Claps (Recognition): 3rd Cousin, Bobby Dall and Slide Rule for joining us back in the gloom. Good to see you all again!

Prayer: Midget and his family for their loss.

Thoughts: Midget shared with us at COT that his mom always put others first. He encouraged us to do the same in our own lives, put others first and always give. If you maintain this mindset of others first and use it as your guiding principle, the decisions you make will fall into the right place automatically.

A Roll of the Dice

/in /by

FNGs: none

Warm Up: SSH, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Willie Mayes Hayes

The Workout: Today we followed the dice. Always a fun time (in my opinion at least) because you get to go on a field trip and you never know what you’ll get. Somehow, bear crawls, balls to the wall and absolutions showed up on the dice as well. Weird. About 1.75 miles and a bunch of merkins, side stradle hops and lunges in between.

Mary: LBCs, WWIIs, Homer-to-Marge, Poop Eaters, a bit of stretching

Announcements: Beer ruck on Saturday starting at 12, Spring Classic on Saturday (if you’re not running, help at an aid station)

The weather is finally starting to warm up but it was still a bit chilly this morning. We had a good turn out for the EC about 4 if I recall. I haven’t been out in a while for an F3 workout let alone Q the damn thing. So we warm up everything is fine. Mossyed over to the football field to do some erkins derkins and dips. As I start calling out the exercises and instructing how to follow me I ended up saying both ways “In cadence on my down”. It gave Woody a good laugh. Then I did it about two more times after that. Lol good times!

FNGs: none

Warm Up: SSH, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Squats, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Willie Mays Hayes

The Workout: Pax moseyed over to the rock pile and were instructed to get a shmedium rock. We all lined up on one side of the parking lot, where we performed 20 counts of curls for the girls, triceps, rows, ground pounders and squats. We then bear crawled to the other end of the parking lot and moseyed back. We did this another two rounds for a total of three. Returning our rocks and back on the mosey. 

Next stop was the picnic shelter. Pax picked a spot on the wall for People’s Chair. 10 count down the line for a total of 70. Then over to the tables where we did 10 Urkins and 10 French Dips. Rinse and repeat two more times, opting for standard dips on those rounds. Woody did a good job encouraging us to perform People’s Chair properly with our thighs horizontal and to push through. P.S.I. showed us all that he could count to 10 in Estonian! Wrapped things up and moseyed to the tennis courts.

Mary: popcorn Mary followed by some yoga

Announcements: Kosher will join YHC as co-site Q at Cletus. Looking forward to it!
