This workout was a practice for the upcoming QvsQ that was being held in the near future at Pontiff.
To celebrate Team USA and the big win we experienced over all the other countries, I decided to have an Olympics-themed workout.
We started the beat down with a warmup:
15x Jumping Jacks
7x Cherry Pickers
7x Windmills
10x Sun Gods (each arm)
7x Merkins
7x Mountain Climbers
7x Toe Touches
7x Tempo Merkins
7x Squats
Then we mosey-ed to the parking lot.
We got in a circle and performed the following exercises with a set of 15, then 10, then 5, with a 100yd Mosey between each set.
O – Overhead Claps w/ People’s Chair
L – Lunges
Y – YXs (the opposite of XYs)
M – Mountain Climbers
P – Plank Toe Touches
I – Imperial Squat Walkers
C – Carolina Dry Docks
S – Side Straddle Hops
After that workout, we can’t celebrate the Olympics without a competition, right?!
So I set up 4 stations in a line. Each station was going to be a sport. Since we had so few people, I modified it and made it PAX competition instead of a team competition.
*Team Competition: 4 Stations, 5 PAX. A PAX at each station doing the exercise until they are bumped by the PAX that is running. The PAX that ran from one station to the other would replace the PAX he bumped and continue to exercise. The 4 PAX would run to back to the 1st Station and that would be one complete round. The Team with the most rounds wins.
Instead we did a PAX competition. 10 Reps per station. Whoever does the most Rounds wins.
1st Station: Track & Field = High Knees
2nd Station: Swimming = Backstrokes (Ab Exercise)
3rd Station: Karate = Taekwondo Squats (Squat then kick)
4th Station: Boxing = Boxer Merkins (Merkin then overhead punch)
We did that for 6 minutes and it was time to go.
After that set, we ran back to the start and did a set of ab workouts.
We ended with the usual close out, sending us off with a prayer and enjoying the sun rise.
Looking forward to next time!
