Today, I wanted to create a GRETNA workout as we were trying a new sub-location within the The OG. Since the usual parking lot has been annexed to create a new Port Orleans Brewery location, we’ve struggled to find a good place that has large space for larger exercises. So, I brought the krewe to a new parking lot that turned out to be good enough.
We started the beat down with dynamic warmups:
Butt Kickers
Karokes (both sides)
Frankensteins
Then a few warm up exercises.
15x Jumping Jacks
7x Cherry Pickers
7x Windmills
7x Merkins
7x Squats
Then we mosey-ed to the new parking lot.
First set of exercises we did a Burpee Pyramid. I sat out 4 Mardi Gras cups and a square. Each cup was a station.
Regular Burpee
Catcher Burpee
Burpee Lunges
Burpee Pike-Ups
We did a pyramid where we started a 1 per station then escalated up to 3 per station and back down to 1 per station.
Though we only did 3 Burpees each it was still an air-sucker when we were done.
Then we moved to the GRETNA workout.
Each letter was a different exercise. *Note: it was tough finding boot-camp style exercises that had the right letter, but we made it work.
We built up and did 5 – 10 – 15 reps. Between each GRETNA workout we moseyed for 50m and back.
G
Groiners
R
Rocket Jumps
E
Explosive Merkins
T
Tuck Jumps
N
Narrow Squats
A
American Warhammer
At the end of those two workouts, we mosey-ed back to the start.
We ended with the usual close out, sending us off with a prayer to make a difference in the lives of those around us.
Looking forward to next time!
