Empty Nest

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , ,

YHC checked the Q-sheet last week after having told H1N1 he’d cover for him while he was gone and saw that everyone’s favorite delivery driver, FedEx, had already claimed today’s spot at The Nest.  With mind at ease, no workout planning was employed.  After being the first to arrive on site three cars appeared and took their place in the damp and foggy lot.  As 4 HIM poured from their vehicles we were noticeably lacking a Q.  The time to start arrived and we looked around once more for a final look when we saw headlights make a turn towards us.  Alas, they continued down the road and we got started with the workout, sans Q.

FNGs: None.  We didn’t even have a Q.

Warm Up:

YHC lead the PAX in a lap around the parking lot before circling up for the warmup.

Good Mornings x10 IC

Moroccan Night Clubs x10 IC

Smurf Jacks x10 IC

Leg and arm stretches

Overhead Claps x10 IC

The Workout:

All PAX agreed to a round-robin workout where each one would take a turn coming up with an exercise.  Spoiler alert: there were a lot of 11’s.

Double D – 11’s between two ends of a section of the parking lot. LBCs on one side and mountain climbers on the other.

Black Knight – 11’s with Merkins and star jumps

Sugar – 11’s with plank jacks and squats

Beater – Led us in a multi-leveled Indian run.  We started with Frankensteins while the back of the line ran to the front in typical Indian run fashion and resumed Frankensteins at the front.  After the line cycled through once we continued on, doing duck walks instead.  After that we went on to bear crawls and ended with an extended crab walk section that brought us back to the start/finish line.  10 burpes finished up the round.

YHC – Lead us over to…

Mary:

In similar fashion we went around the circle calling out exercises.  Double D lead us off with a new exercise he had seen.  It is an unnamed excercise but he dubed it El Lobo (I think). You start in high plank position and then put one hand behind your head like you’re preparing to do a sit up.  On the down you twist your core and reach your raised elbow down towards your extended arm.  We did 10 of these with each arm.

The remaining exercises were LBCs (I’m only about 60% sure on this one), Homer to Marge, slow WWIIs, and Sleeping Hillbillies.

Announcements:

BRR in a few weeks.

T-Claps (Recognition):

All the PAX today for collectively leading an intense beat down that did result in a particular HIMs merlot.  I don’t want to name names but his starts with a B and ends with a lack Night.

Prayer:

All of the families dealing with the tragedy from this weeks events.  Pray also for the first responders who deal with the emotional and psychological stress of those situations.  And also pray for those with mental illness, that they may have the courage to ask for help when they need it.
