A typical summer (in October?) morning with an atypical lack of a breeze coming off the lake led to a lovely humid morning in the gloom. 13 PAX joined me for a little prep workout for the upcoming H8 in 2 weeks. Disclaimer was given and off we went around the fountain.
Warm up:
Mosey around the fountain including high knees, butt kicks, karaoke facing the fountain, and karaoke facing the levee. Circle up
- SSH x 20 IC
- Windmills x 10 IC
- Grassgrabbers x 10 IC
- Arm circles fwd and rev x 10 each IC
- Peter Parker x 15 IC
- Parker Peter x 15 IC
- Self love x 10 IC
Tha Thang #1:
Mosey over to the House of Pain. Here we would partner up. PAX #1 would bear crawl up the levee, run down the opposite side, bear crawl back up the levee, and run down back to the start. PAX #2 stays behind to perform 5 pull-up, 10 hand-release merkins, and 15 squats. Plank and wait for your partner to finish their respective round. Flapjack. Perform 4 rounds.
My apologies to anyone that was eaten alive by ants. I heard people saying there were ants while we were exercising. It wasn’t until after the beatdown that I learned that Tugboat (possibly others) who were bitten at least a dozen times. I fully understand why Screw Top doesn’t like the grass.
Tha Thang #2:
Mosey over to the large open area by the lake where we would circle up for some randomness.
- 8 count Absolution x 10 IC
- Merkin into a side plank x 8 IC (Q couldn’t make it to 10 reps)
- Al Gore x 30 seconds x 3 trials
- R single leg wife pleaser x 15 (1 is 1)
- L single leg wife pleaser x 15 (1 is 1)
Now it was time for some Mary. T-claps to all those who led the individual exercises
- Penguins
- Flutter kicks
- Dying Cockroaches
- LBCs
- Freddy Mercury’s
- American Hammers
- Box cutters
Mosey back to the flag where we wrapped it all up with 10 burpees OYO. Countoff, name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and sweaty ball of man. Once again it was a pleasure to lead. And once again I sincerely apologize to anyone who was bitten by ants.
