12 Days of Christmas, Foxworthy Style

/in /by

EC run: 187, Skidmark, LED, Cowboy, Lipstick, Yogurt

Yoga EC: Crosby, Emeril, Pikachu, Sliderule, Wiggly

PAX of 22 enjoyed a helping of redneck culture on this cool, rainy morning

Warm Up: SSH 25, GM 20, shoulder/tricep stretches 10 count, Moroccan night clubs (20 shoulders back), Fozio arm circles F10/R10, erkins 10.

The Workout: Following Jeff Foxworthy’s 12 days, Yogurt dished out the following circuit. Partners run opposite direction in loop, converge and complete the Day’s exercise reps upon three meetings (3x).

12 Pack o’ Bud – Wheelbarrow, 1+ burpees upon switch, modify to lunge walk as needed (try to keep it under 12 burpees for the circuit)
11 wrastlin’ tickets – No wrastlin’, but broke back merkins instead (3×11)
10 o’ Copenhagen – That tin goes in your back pocket, so on your 6, then 10 WWIIs (3×10)
9 years’ probation – 9 prisoner squats – self explanatory (3×9)
8 table dancers – 8 pickle pounders – self explanatory (3×8)

No time for the following 7 day of Christmas:
7 packs of Redman – Again, that ‘backer goes in your back pocket (LBCs)
6 cans of Spam – 6 crunches
5 flanel shirts – hand release merkins
4 big mud tires – 4 IC Freddie Mercuries
3 shotgun shells – 3 star jumps
2 huntin’ dawgs – 2 downward dogs
And some parts to a Mustang G.T. – 12 merkins just because parts is parts

Mary: Foot strengthening exercises – Using fence as balance bar, in cadence, (1) slightly bend knees, (2) roll to balls of feet, keeping knees bent (this is where you’ll feel the strengthening), (3) straighten knees, staying on balls of feet, (4) return to starting position. These ballet exercises will strengthen your feet, helping to prevent plantar fasciitis and other foot injuries. Other Mary: low slow flutter.

Announcements: CSAUP Saturday 12/15/18, begins and ends at Womble Park, 6-10 am. Support vehicle driven by Forceps. Bring water, food, change of clothing for rain. Also, Breach says wear RED on Fridays to remember and support troops who are deployed.

Prayer: Double D’s wife and recovery from surgery, Pablo’s mom’s recovery, Ausfart, and PAX in general.

Sticks and Stones

16 PAX: Overheard during the workout: At STONES, we’re pushing this rock around the whole parking lot? and Wait ’til you get to 30 wonder bras. On INDIAN RUN, I’m confused! At STICKS, Yogurt, you gonna join us on this STICK exercise? And of course, at COT, continued trash talking about Slide Rule and Slack…

EC: 187, Axe, Banana Seat, LED, Warbucks, ChIPs

Warm Up: Mosey to amphitheater

SSH x25, GM x15, triceps stretches 10 sec per side, shoulder stretches 10 sec per side, dips x25

The Workout:

STONES: Mosey to “stone” pile and parking lot

Three laps, arm exercises with counts of 10, 20, 30 at each corners; finish lap with burpees x1, x2, x3

Lap 1: Bear crawl, pushing rock as you go (aka skidmark), arm exercise = 10, 20, 30 curls

Lap 2: Lunge walks with rock, arm exercises = 10, 20, 30 overhead presses

Lap 3: Run/walk with stone overhead, arm exercises = 10, 20, 30 wonder bras

SAND: “Modified Indian run.” Carry 40 lb sand bag as you advance to front of line. I didn’t fully think this on out, so there was lots of confusion. Eventually, I think everyone carried the “baby.” Next time, instead of passing the baby back down the line, the each PAX needs to advance to the front of the line, which pushes the PAX holding the baby to the back of the line. Then, the PAX holding the baby runs to the front. PAX advances one at a time past the baby, PAX with baby runs to front. Rinse and repeat.

STICKS: (firewood logs): Select log from Delilah (Blue Tacoma)

Burpees in “sevens,” carrying stick to top of parking lot, executing burpees, carry back down, execute burpees, rinse and repeat.

Do this all the way down the go right into the agility ladders. We had four quick loops to stay on the ladders. Then we moseyed over toward the b-ball court parking area for some warm up exercises.
