Today was an experimental workout trying to balance some skill with luck with a mardi gras football and baseball diamond.
We started the beat down with a warmup:
Mosey around the block
15x Jumping Jacks
7x Windmills
7x Cherry Pickers
7x Swimmers
7x Merkins
7x Peter Parkers
7x Squats
7x In Tempo Tempo Squats
Then we mosey-ed to the parking lot and set up a baseball diamond.
One PAX threw the football while the other PAXs attempted to catch the ball. The throwing PAX attempted to race around the bases before it was caught. Once caught, the last base crossed was their assigned base.
We rotated the PAXs until everyone had a base assigned.
The bases had a corresponding rep count:
1st = 20
2nd = 15
3rd = 10
Home = 5
(Pays to be a winner)
Then as a group we moseyed around the bases stopping at each base to do an exercise with the amounts assigned by the base one achieved.
We did the following as one round:
Each throwing the ball, getting an assigned base (reps), and doing the same exercise around the bases together
We did (4) rounds:
Round 1: Arms
Wide arm Merkin
Tricep Merkin
Diamon Merkin
Hand Release Merkin
Round 2: Legs
Squats
Lunges
Jumping Lunges
Side Squats
Round 3: Abs
modified LBC
Flutter kicks
Wide PIke Ups
Ab X-tensions
Round 4: Burpees
Spiderman Burpee
Alternating Lunge Burpee
Burpee Jack
Burpee Pike Up
Pros / Cons:
Pros
–Good Workout (Burpees at the end were a killer)
–Lasted the entire workout
Cons:
–Need further experimentation on the baseball diamond distances and ball throwing. During the throwing phase, none of the PAXs could get a homerun, because getting around the bases took much longer than catching the ball. However, when exercising around the bases, the moseys were too small to be worth even calling a mosey.
So, I will need to play with the distances, throwing actions, or rules to make sure of a chance for a homerun and/or that the exercises are spread out enough to give everyone enough of a breather.
MTF.
We ended with the usual close out, sending us off with a prayer.
Looking forward to next time!
