Quiet Morning at Possum Trot

/in /by

Warm Up: Started with a quick jog around the parking lot.  Circled up for 10 forward and 10 reverse Fozzio arm circles, followed by 10 cotton pickers. Then headed on the courts to finish up the warmup with an intro to the thang.

The Workout: a combination of 11s and suicides

Start against the fence for an explanation and demo.  Do 11s in a progression moving down the courts and ALWAYS pick up the 6! As soon as everyone is done with the set of 11s we immediately start the next set. This resulted in the quietest workout I think that I’ve been too.  Next to no mumble chatter was to be heard today.

Sets of 11s

1st – side straddle hops and imperial walkers both in cadence to the first line

2nd – criss cross jumps and diamond merkins to the second line

3rd – plank jacks and Bobby Hurley’s to the third line

4th squats and standard merkins to the 4th line

5th mountain climbers and American hammers to the 3rd line

Everyone hold BTTW on the fence for a 5 count down the line.

Mary: Alphabet soup in capital letters
Announcements: 5k this weekend, the Odyssey coming up in October
Prayer:  a few requests mentioned followed by COT and ball of man.

Warm Up: Lap around the lot followed by SSH, Good Mornings, Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, static stretch, and arm circles

PAX partnered up and ran opposite directions around the lot for a miserable mile.  North and South ends: patty cake merkins and Squat jumps; East and West ends: bear craw and lunge walks.  PAX completed 4 laps and plank for 6.

Keeping a running theme DORA 1-2-3s.  Merkins (100), Squats (200), flutter kicks (300).  All exercises were cumulative.  Partner ran length of parking lot and back then picked up the count.

Run to the shelter and lined up on a line.  PAX completed 5 WWIIs then crab walked up to the next line until the center column was reached.  PAX held a wall squat for the 6 then a 10 count was observed.
