    Early Morning Workout Report
    Date: 10/28/2024
    Location: The Stage

    Overview:

    At dawn, five dedicated men gathered amidst the early morning fog, ready to embrace their workout routine. The fog hung thick in the air, setting the mood as the group began their session with synchronized stretches and a round of jumping jacks. The morning was still, but the energy was high, with Jerry Lee Lewis’ rock and roll hits echoing through the silence.

    Warm-Up:

    The workout commenced with a light stretch and a series of jumping jacks to loosen up their muscles. Once they felt warmed up, the group proceeded to run two laps around their chosen course, using the steady pace to get their blood flowing and prepare for the exercises ahead.

    Core Exercises:

    After the run, the men launched into a set of 13 Freak Nasty (a core-focused exercise combining planks and knee drives) followed by 13 Bobby Hurleys (an intense squat-jump combo designed to increase heart rate and build lower body strength). Jerry Lee Lewis’s music kept the energy high, pushing them to finish each round with enthusiasm.

    Partner Work:

    Next, the group paired up to tackle a series of ladder runs. While one partner ran, the other performed an exercise. They rotated through five different movements, ensuring each muscle group got targeted:

    • Merkins (push-ups): Building chest and arm strength.
    • Big Boys: Sit-ups aimed at the core.
    • Overhead Arm Claps: A dynamic shoulder exercise.
    • Flutter Kicks: Focusing on the lower abs and hip flexors.
    • Toy Soldiers: A stretching exercise for the hamstrings and shoulders.

    The partners swapped roles after each segment, alternating between running ladders and completing their exercises.

    The Grand Finale:

    Upon completing the ladder drills and partner exercises, the group ran to the top of the metaphorical “ladder” one last time. This time, however, instead of running forward, they “let go” and embraced nurring—running backward—down the course. This backward run served as both a cool-down and a final challenge, testing their balance and coordination.

    Conclusion:

    As the workout concluded, the fog began to lift, revealing the smiling and tired faces of five men who had pushed their limits in the early morning chill. With a final nod to each other and Jerry Lee Lewis’s last notes fading, they ended their session feeling stronger and more accomplished, ready to face the rest of the day.

    Don’t post it it didn’t happen. Sorry for the late post but better than not at all. The usual warm up stretches and a little cardio. A :45/:30 Tabata featuring Crunchy Frogs Squats Crunches SSH Merkins Tie Touches and A Lap. Three full rounds and half of a fourth.
    This old man had a workout and the rest of the PAX did too. Self pacing makes sure everyone gets what they need. The crisp and wonderful weather added inspiration.
