Pre-Thang: Cold (40 degrees) and Clear on this Saturday AM. Pax slow to arrive but we end up with 8 for a pretty strong Saturday krewe. After a night of Mardi Gras parades uptown my head was a little heavier than normal. A special bonus today is that I got to bring my 64 yr old father to play in City Park for an hour….and I was the Q!
The Thang: Run across the Great Lawn for a COP.
SSH, a cold and wet LBC set, Sumo Squats and Skater Pylos x 25
Then we moseyed across the Great Lawn for a set of Tabata. That is 20 secs workout and 10 sec recover.
We did 4 sets of Mountain Climbers, Merkins, Lunges, Jump Squats, and LBCs (20 secs as hard as you can go) then recover 10 secs.
Mosey to the Stairs in front of the New Orleans Museum of Art
Round the Clock merks. 12 oclock inclined Merks x 10, 3 o clock regular merks x 10, 6 oclock feet on the step and declined merks x 10 and recover
Then run to the Top of the Steps 5 Side to Side Burpees, Down the steps for 20 plank jacks 5 times for a total of 100 plank jacks and 25 side to side burpees.
Mosey to Pull UP station next to Christian Brothers School – partner work, 20 secs working. 1 partner does a pull up exercise the other partner does an LBC set. Then we would rotate.
Station 1: Pullups, #2 Row ups, #3 Dips, #4 Reverse your hands for a pull up using bicep
Repeat this rotation twice!
Mosey back to the stairs in front of NOMA. 20 Jackknife leg lifts x 20, 10 Russian Twists
We repeated this set twice with Jackknifes at the top of the stairs and RTs at the bottom.
Run back to the flag for a 2 min Plank O Rama. We did donkey kicks, peter parkers and a few other treats while we were in the plank position.
Tclaps to 64 yr old Yankee Doodle Daddy for slugging through a tough work out with his son and waking up early on his vacation
Tclaps to Mr Awesome for pushing us harder. (especially Maverick today during the Pull Up station)
Tclaps to Channel Mullet for his Kotter! and to Hawg for EH’ing him
