I’m always looking for opportunities to get in more pull ups. This was one of those chances. It’s hard to do without an actual pull up bar, but our PAX found a way at the Mandeville Trailhead…
The Warm-Up:
Mosey 1 block East, 25 IW IC
Mosey 2 blocks South, 25 Flutter Kicks IC (While on the ground here, we realized in the dark of the morning, a car headed our way wouldn’t be able to see us on the ground, so we had motivation to move fast! Fortunately it turned away before we had to give up on our full count.)
Mosey 2 blocks West, 10 Merkins IC
Mosey 2 blocks North back to the Trailhead stage, finished with 15 LBCs IC
The Main Course:
Hanging over the front of the stage, we each did 10 Back Extensions IC
At this point, an unnamed member of the PAX had to take a slight break from our workout to hit the nearest crapper (if not clear, to go poo). Somehow a run to the toilets at the Trailhead (to discover they were locked), a drive to the closest gas station, and a drive back took a mere 5 minutes. He was back in the mix before the end of the pulluparama. Hats off to you my friend – that’s dedication!
Pulluparama time – Mosey to the guardrails behind the stage
Pull up (overhand) / Chin up (underhand) ladder to 5 and back to 1 with Burpees in between. So, 1 Pull Up, 1 Burpee, 2 Chin Ups, 2 Burpees, 3 Pull Ups, 3 Burpees… up to 5. Then 4, 3, 2, 1.
It was so much fun, we had to do one more set of just the Pull Ups (so 1 to 5 to 1 of just the Pull Up / Chin Up portion)
Mosey back to the long stretch of the Trailhead for Sprints. In two groups, Run 1 full length and plank; then back for a lap. 4 laps!
After a little fake out circle we did 15 Freak Nasties
Real circle for 25 LBCs and Leg Extensions for 20 counts X 3. Wrapped it up with 10 Peter Parker Peters IC.
This was a really fun morning. Thanks for the effort guys! (Only 1 week late on the BB and now I’m caught up and know what the heck I’m doing…)
