Sometimes the most fun and effective way to get some something done is to take it back to when we were kids, when it seemed like everything was simpler.
That was the goal this morning at Grandma’s. Grover owns the “Duck Duck Goose” beatdown, and I still haven’t found a way to plan an effective “Red Rover Red Rover Send Bushwhacker On Over” beatdown in a Post-COVID world, so in the meantime a fine looking Pax of 7 took to the old Mandeville streets to play some Red Light Green Light.
Warmup (all IC 15x to 20x)

High Knees
Cherry Pickers
Imperial Walkers

Very simple: mosey around, call “Red light” randomly along the way, and perform exercises of varying reps (e.g. 10 burpees, 50 butt kicks) and distance (e.g. Duck walk), call “green light” to pick the mosey back up.
The goal was to push the pace a little, but keep it light enough to figure out what our favorite football teams would do in the fall, and if there was time left, solve the world’s problems.
Beatdown included the following:
– circle ups
– merkins
– squats
– Apollo Ohnos
– Bobby Hurleys
– monkey humpers
– gas pumps
– plank jacks
– shoulder taps
– butt kicks
– duck walk
– murder bunnies (what’s up, IRON Pax, we’re ready)
– freak nastys
– step ups
– LBCs
– big boi sit-ups
YHC timed it relatively well, leaving no time for Mary, but plenty of time for a COT, name-o-Rama, announcements, and prayer from Hammer (thank you, sir).
Announcements included kick ball this Thursday, Iron Pax starting up soon (register, earn points good toward nothing but pride and fellowship), and Akbar’s anny Q on Saturday.
Thank you, gents, for joining and wishing Cowbell a safe and enjoyable trip out to Oregon this week.
