Merry Go Round at Cletus

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Warm Up: 21 PAX got the blood flowing as they moseyed over to back parking lot just to the side of the baseball fields. Pax circled up for some Sir Fozio arm cirlces 10 count cadence (forward and backwards), Good Mornings,  Imperial Walker’s, and last with Hillbillies (which I messed up on)

The Workout:  PAX gathered around a large circle with various exercise stations.  PAX performed as many repetitions as possible in 90 seconds of each exercise  and recorded the results in front of the station with a piece of caulk.  The goal was to do the most repetitions and record your results for others to beat.   After the 90 seconds,  PAX  ran around counterclockwise and went to the next station for a different exercise.  Exercises included Star Jumps, Flutter Kicks, Jump Rope (Yoda killed it and looked like Rocky), Merkin’s, Burpees, Kettle Bell swings, Weighted  Squats, Weighted Overhead Squats, Curls for the Girls, Prisoner Squats, World War II’s, and a few I probably forgot to mention. Pax moseyed back to the courts.

Mary: Due to time running out, I  got the guys ready for tonight with 30 in cadence Pickle Pounders.
Announcements: First Saturday 2.0 at Womble 9:00am. Burgerfeet recruiting help for hurricane victims rebuild, Breath taker auction.  Honor to lead!
T-Claps (Recognition): EC Yogurt and Banana Seat. Banana Seat outbid Yogurt for breath taker!
Prayer: Moby’s father, Shredder, Crab legs with possible drug trial.

YHC was working on 5 days in a row of posting since AGS on Sunday and was doubting his commitment to Pablo to Q Disney.  The body was saying “no” but the heart was saying “Hell yeah”.  I found my commitment (not motivation) and rose from the fart sack to post.  Several showed for extra credit but YHC missed that!

Warm Up:  A short lap around the parking lot mixing in some high knees along the way.  Great to see New Mexico drive up and join us as we started.  No penalty burpees.  We circled up for a warmup on this clear 42 degree morning.

Five pain stations (Corners and Lower Center)  – 10 reps of same exercise at each of the 5 stops (50 reps each lap).  Goal is always 10 laps but rarely have time  Laps were

  • Round 2: Prisoner Squats
  • Round 3:  LBC (cadence)

PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Did you know that Dumbo was Walt Disney’s favorite movie he made?  Seems like a fitting place for YHC’s virgin Q.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead you 31 Pax.

EC: Aquaman, Bulls Eye, Dahmer, Dawgpound, Maybelline, Nemo, Pikachu, ShamWow!, Warbucks

Warm Up: Quick mosey through the half pipe and back to the parking lot.  PAX circled up for the following: 24 SSH IC, 12 Good Mornings IC, 10 Fozio Arm Circles IC (forwards and backwards), Michael Phelps OYO, 10 Burpees OYO

The Workout: Mosey over to the big parking lot at the high school for 4 Corners with an accountability partner.  Pax did the following at each corner: 5 burpees, 10 plank jacks & 20 WWII.  Round 1 we moved between corners jogging on the long side and sprinting on the ‘short’ side.  For round 2 we replaced the 20 WWII with Al Gore for a 20 count.

Having finished round 2 it was time for a change of scenery so we moseyed back to the soccer fields.  With your accountability partner, one PAX runs to the middle of the soccer field while the other does balls to the wall on the fence.  We did two rounds of this.

Mary: PAX did 15 diamond merkins while YHC retrieved his phone for COT.  We then did the following: 20 Low Slow Flutter, 20 Homer to Marge, 20 Pickle Pounder, 10 Homer to Marge, 10 Pickle Pounders and Have A Nice Day!

Prayer: Moby’s father, Double D and his family.

YHC finished the morning with a few words about Lent.  During this time in the church year we are striving to either remove the things that keep us from being close to God OR to take on new things that would bring us closer to God.  That corresponds with this week QSource topic (The Jester) as well.  We all have things that keep us from being as close to God as we could be.  I challenge all of us to spend some time thinking about what they are for you and committing to work on them.  YHC took us out.

Thanks again for the opportunity to lead you men.  I will do better next time!

PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

24 at a warmer than usual early Feb edition of Disney as YHC returned as guest Q to bring back a popular workout from last year, and straight out of the F3 exicon, The Red Barchetta.  Named after a classic song by Canadian rock legends Rush, the workout is meant to get he heart rate up and keep moving.  The song, by the way, is based on an excellent short story about a time in the future when we have “motor laws” making it illegal to go joy riding in a classic sports car.  A young man gets his uncles red barchetta out from storage in a barn and heads out on the open road, through the mountains.

5 on EC Nemo, Deadbolt, Warbucks, Lipstick and Pikachu

Prayer: Moby’s dad, Crableg’s friend, took a silent 10 count for unspoken and YHC took us out.

Great effort by all who posted,  That’s a deceptively challenging workout and everyone just kept moving.  Honor to lead, as always.
