Well here in New Orleans, we had our two days of winter (<40F) last week and that can be considered behind us…. Going with the F3 term Gloom, this morning is exactly what I envision for an F3 W. Great turnout by the PAX @ 22, enthusiasm and involvement was great as expected (no consideration of DRTF).
The Thang
Opening act — Mosey over to the Museum lawn for a typical warm up:
IWX25, Peter ParkersX20, Mountain Climbers X 20, SSHX25, Shoulder circlesX30 (always remember to breath when counting…)
Then over to the fountain for some leg work
**Immediate safety awareness from Q of the slippery surface for box jumps
Box jumps X 12
After (6), Q that made safety disclaimer, is the one whom slips on his right leg and bust shin open….. Many thanks to Duct Tape for reacting and providing makeshift gauss pads and band aid (later to be referred to as my sanitary napkin). Ironically, did not show up with Duct tape? Likewise to Maverick and others offering to take over as Q, but as Freddy Mercury said in his last years, “The Show Must Go On”
Left Leg step up lunges X12
Right leg step up lunges X12 (still working on terminology, but much better alternative to Box jumps now to me!)
Add another set of all three exercises
Main Attraction:
Mosey over to the Foundry for a bit of running and upper body:
Half group on the workout tasks — Pull ups, dips, lunges, monkey bars, LBCs, all timed by 8 burpies in rotation.
Main timer is the second group doing an Indian Run for a full lap around track
Each group gets a run and work out at the gym, we loved it so much, everyone asked may I please have another? So we did.
Time flies when your having fun, Mosey back to the shovel flag left us no time for the eleven I wanted to get to today.
Encore
Number call, namearama, announcements and intro to our new FNG Puff and final COT rounded out a good workout to start our Saturday off right.
Most should have got >2 miles in running today, and with the weather, looks like we are breaking sweats again. Can’t wait for August.
Many thanks to Hawg for encouragement and set up for my first Back Blast and everyone bearing with me on my slip.
Post work out update, I did take Duct Tapes advise and went to urgent care, got 8 stitches in my Shin…. Doctors orders to stay off leg work out for 14 days.
