Quit Hitting Snooze!!!
In honor of our favorite new reptilian PAX member, YHC built a workout that was all about what happens when you hit snooze. Namely, the ALARM keeps going off!
Here is the abbreviated account of what went down on Tuesday at the Mandeville Trailhead.
Warmup:
SSH 20 IC
Mummy Kicks 20 IC
Butt Kicks 20 IC
High Knees 20 IC
Windmills 10 IC
Superman Red Sun Yellow Sun 15 IC both directions
The Thang:
We moseyed to the playground (albeit in a roundabout manner). But we made the moseying a little more interesting by doing something called the 5 corner escalator.
5 Corner Escalators: Start with 5 burpees (officially the first of the five corners) and start moseying. At the second corner you do another 5 burpees and add 10 high knee jump-ups. At every corner you do what you had done before and add another set of exercises with an increased rep count of five additional reps for every new exercise. On the last round we did 5 burpees, 10 high knee jumps, 15 merkins, 20 squats, and 25 mountain climbers. Well that escalated quickly…
Arrived at the park and began what would be the main course of this morning breakfast beatdown. What’s that sound? It’s an ALARM!
ALARM:
A routine where you do an (A)rms exercise, (L)egs Exercise, (A)b exercise, (R) exercise, and a (M) exercise.
ALARM 1 = Shoulder Taps (20 IC), Lunge (Court Length and back), Monkey Crunches (25 OYO), Reverse Crunches (25 OYO), Mountain Climber Merkins (15 OYO).
Someone must have hit snooze, because a familiar sound rang once more. The ALARM went off again!
ALARM 2 = Curb Albert (10 IC), PAX Called Up-Downs, Rosalita Wip (15-20 IC), Mini Chesto. The QIC cut this last alarm short so we could head back for our last exercise.
We were running long but everyone obliged the Q to go a little over. They might have regretted doing that. It was time for the 5 minute plank challenge!
5 Minute Plank Challenge
- 1 minute elbow plank (Chilcutts) and rock back and forth past your hands.
- 30 seconds side planking hip drops each side
- 1 minute Dancing Chilcutt (Elbow plank with alternating straight leg raises)
- 30 second side planks Nolan Ryan’s each side.
- 1 minute Plank alternating feet stepping outside of your shoulders and back.
That was brutal!!! Way to go guys for hanging in there! And man… Ocho… That story you told… Stunk…
Circled up and Ocho closed us out in Prayer. Thanks for the select few who braved it this morning! What a pleasure it is to grow stronger with you men… And turtle.
