Brrr.. It was chilly this morning. There’s only one way to stay warm. That’s right – break out the Lucky Bear. That’ll keep YHC warm! But it definitely prompted some strange looks from the other folks getting an early workout under the shelter. BUT I WAS WARM.
The LVCC was apparently chilly, so Snooze, Mama’s Pride and Kuch waited as long as possible before emerging for the workout. Frac, confused by a large green fuzzy thing, joined the OTHER PAX for his pre-thang burpees. Baywatch, wearing 17 layers, looked almost as warm as YHC. And then Saban. Brave Saban wearing his shorts. What’s he thinking…
At 5:28, Mahatma decided that it was time for the workout to get started. Patience, big chief! At 5:30, YHC issued the disclaimer. And we were off.
Warm Up: some stretching, then SSH x36 (one rep for each degree that the Mini reported this am).
Thing #1: Lucky 7s. 7 minutes. Each minute, 7 burpees then finish out the minute with exercise that YHC names. Kuch was strangely quiet, after griping that his heart rate wasn’t moving during the warm up. FInish with 1 more burpee for an even 50.
Thing #2: Grab some bricks from the Mini, and lets head to the mountain. Going up and over, we’ll stop at the half-way, top, 3-quarter and bottom. At each stop, the PAX will do 36 reps. But… If you finish early, keep rep’ing until the 6 finishes the 36 reps. YHC won’t point fingers, but a certain jolly green figure was usually leading up the rear. Situps, Squats, Twists, American Hammer, Calf Raises, Carolina Dry Docks, Shoulder Taps and Newton Cradles.
OK, I GREATLY underestimated how hard 36 Newton Cradles (2 is 1) would be. That took a while, and several pauses. Yikes.
Mosey back to the shelter for 2 rounds of 18x Wonder Bras in the peoples chair.
COT: Prayers of comfort for Frac’s sister, having just lost her husband at too early of an age. Thanks, PAX, for dragging yourselves out of the warm comfort of your beds to start the day pushing me to be a better man.
