Easy Street (On Repeat)

Before you read this BackBlast – please scroll to the bottom and hit play and enjoy the music to accompany this recount of the workout.

YHC had been meaning to bestow a gift to the Disney AO based on his recent move to site Q.  It worked out that Lipstick had a stack of cinder blocks in the corner of his garage and I had some spray paint.  Now there is even more to do at The Happiest Place on Earth!

 

FNGs: None

 

Warm Up: Good Mornings, Squat Thrusts, Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, SSH and a mozy around the soccer field and back through the field, back to the flag.

The Workout:  Our Q knew that the site gift was in play and decided to take full advantage.  YHC opened the hatch on his family’s light blue minivan to show off the freshly logo’d cinder blocks.  PAX were divided into teams of 4 and instructed to grab 2 blocks per team.  A triangle course was marked by 3 cones from the corner of the soccer field.  Thing-a-ma-bob called out exercises for each cone for each round.  One cone had a resident block that would be used for the stations workout.  A PAX was stationed at each cone until his 4th team member showed up carrying the other block.  He would then take the block and move to the next cone.  Each round continued through some pre-determined timeframe in which “Easy Stree” played on repeat.  A buzzer marked the end of the round.   The music would pause momentarily – each PAX would hope against hope that there was another song on the playlist only to be disappointed over and over again.

Round 1 – Merkins, Goblet Squats, WWII

Round 2 – Squat Thrust, Shoulder Taps, CBLs

Round 3 – Jump Squats, Curls, LBCs

Round 4 – Dry Docks, Flutter Kicks, Lunges

A little drizzle this am but still sticky!

Driving down Optimist Farm Road this morning. Several PAX ECing and I blew the horn. Fanny Pack said I scared the crap out of them. M4life rolled in with maybe 1 second to spare barefooted. He said he did not need shoes for this easy workout.

FNG: Nope

Warm Up: We moseyed over to the baseball PVA. We did Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Frankenstein’s, Side straddle hops, merkins, Burpees to 10 all IC.

The Workout: Moseyed behind school and broke off into 2 groups. 1st group BTW while second group did monkey humpers, switched-then we moseyed back down stretch of school for some burpees. Moseyed back to the wall for wall sets with seal claps, group 2 was doing Turkish get up. Moseyed back behind school where we rinsed and repeated. I left a little earlier and got called out. So when we moseyed around the back of the school for another BTW while group 1 did Turkish get ups. Went into the circle where some steps were for step up, Urkins, Derkins and dips. Left there and took the scenic route to the Abyss behind the ball field. While enroute we used steps, ramps wherever they were in sight. Once we arrived at the we split up in our groups for 2 rounds of LBC’s at the top while the other group ran the steps. Moseyed back for Mary.

Mary: Circled Up and squatted down low. The circle shuffled to the right and left. I called on several PAX for their favorite exercises. FRAM’s were the least liked. Peter Parker with a hold on the way up and down. (Sucked)

T-Claps: 2 visitors from NE Wake region-Thing-a-ma-bob and Tube Top Several PAX’s out getting EC this morning. M4life did workout barefooted! (I bet he is hurting)
