This theme was continued with overhead tricep press, rut  rows, wonder bras, bus drivers, and ground powers. We also mixed in some other back and shoulders drills with the small rocks. Then put back the rocks and mosey to the playground for step ups, TuT dips, box jumps, more  TuT dips.

President’s Day 2022 – Which President is on the $100 Bill? Fanny knew the answer. 

/in , /by

Warm up: Bat Wings: Fozio Arm Circles 10x forward/reverse, 10x seal claps, 10x overhead claps; repeat

Mosey to lower corner of parking deck near tower stairs. First trivia question: Which president is on the $100 bill? Fanny Pack knew: None. Benjamin Franklin was never president.

Benjamin Franklins ($100). Partner up. One partner goes to top of stairs and back while other does SSH. Shooting for 100. With required two trips per PAX to the top, most pairs far exceeded 100. Al Gore (Vice President) while we wait for the six.

Mosey around the entire building to the top corner of the upper parking deck. One each corner, I marked a pain station with a cone and printout of four denominations of currency: $5, $10, $20, $50. We kept partners for “accountability” only. We raced station to station, with the first PAX to arrive announcing the exercise that he had found.

I asked trivia question at each station. I planned for the winner to keep the printed “bills.” But, then I lost track of who won what. I was close at the end. Winners: Fanny Pack, Cornholio, Bondo, U.T.I., and Full House (see below).

$5 Lincolns: 5 burpees OYO. Where is our very own @Abe when you need him?

$10 Alexander Hamilton: 10 star jumps. Who is on the $10 bill? Even with the printout, it took a while to get this one? And was Alexander Hamilton ever president? No! Cornholio got this one. How did Hamilton die? Lost to Aaron Burr in a dual. Yes, a dual.

$20 Andrew Jackson. 20 Merkins.

$50 Ulysses S. Grant. 50 Mountain climbers. Was Grant ever president? Yes.

 

Mary: Bobby Boucher got it started with some low slow flutter while I grabbed my phone. I immediately went to Pickle pounders. An obvious shout out to President Bill Clinton. And you should have heard @Full House’s imitation: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” Hilarious!

Announcements: Wilmington Marathon this weekend.

Prayer Requests: Unspoken. YHC took us out.

Happy Presidents Day. Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Hand drawn vector portraits isolated on white background.

A Mix of Complaints and Cheers

/in /by

Ya know…everyone is a critic. At Crazy Ivan, it is incumbent on the Q to choose the playlist, so I always choose mine. Today, there were equal numbers of complaints versus kudos for the playlist. “Hell yeah..this is my jam”, “I’m down with Fanny on this one”, “Thowin it back…yeah!”, It’s too loud”, “what the hell are they singing?”, “This makes me wanna go bust stuff up”, “Crazy Ivan…when Fanny’s the Q, you leave angrier then when you got here.”  Good stuff right there.
Warm Up: SSH x 25, Good Mornings, Seal Claps, Frankensteins, Spinal Rotation.
The Workout: This was a “recover on your time workout”, so the timer just kept going. It was a 1:15/:45 Tabata/AMRAP with the Kettlebells. During the 1:15, YHC would call an exercise. During the :45 PAX had a choice of Boobity-Boobitys, Plank Hold, Swings, or Snatches. Rest was entirely up to the PAX. Some PAX took it upon themselves to stretch, run, etc. during the :45. OK. Exercises that YHC called during the 1:15 segments were: Bell Merkins, Bridge Pullover,  Bobbity Boobity, Squats, Suitcase Lift, 1 leg Deadlift, Lawnmower, Halo, Figure 8, Curls for the Girls, 1 Arm Shoulder Press, Ground Pounders, Plank Pull Through, Midget Cookie Pouch, Midget Love Handle, Swings.
Mary: Bad form plank and downward dog, with some runner’s stretches. Awful Q examplehood!
Announcements: Long Ass Run, 2/12…details on Slack.
T-Claps (Recognition): Ponzi…cotter…back out in the Gloom!
Prayer: Lots of relatives sick or injured. Emeril daughter/family with just being a teenager! YHC took us out and ended this debacle!
