- Kuch: next, we’re going to do 11’s, but a little different
- Da Parish: How is this 11’s?
- K: Well you go back and forth and do a different exercise on each side of the levee like 11’s, but we’re going to do it together.
- DP: So you don’t count to 11?
- K: Well, No
- DP: Those are not 11’s
- K: Look, I’m new here, okay?
Cool, dry mornings at Okwata with a hint of a sunrise thrown in truly make the 5 AM wake-up call worth every minute of lost sleep. At 5:30 this morning, as we started out over the dark course ahead, I mumbled out a brief disclaimer and off we went into the 40 degree gloom for a bit of a leg workout. T-claps to Rudy who had already run a couple miles at that point, a decision he may have later come to regret…
WARMUP
- IW’s x 24 (everyone always starts with SSH, so we switched it up a little)
- SSHx25 (a very little in fact)
- Windmills x 15
- Parker Peter x 25
- 5 8-count bodybuilders OYO just for a bit of practice…
- Mosey across the street and down the lakefront past canal for…
FIRST EXERCISE
Route 55, 8-count bodybuilders OUT, Low-Slow-Squats IN
Route 55 v2, Low-Slow-Squats OUT, 8-count bodybuilders IN
The nice thing about 8-count bodybuilder is, if you do enough of them, they make burpees feel like side straddle hops. I felt it was important to put this contrast on full display for the PAX in attendance, so we moseyed to the foot of canal for….
SECOND EXERCISE
“11’s”
All Pax do one exercise for one minute on one side of the levee, and then scale the levee together to the other side, where we do another exercise for one minute, then back, rinse and repeat. We managed to get in:
- Burpees – Monkey Humpers
- Merkins – Squats
- Shoulder Taps – Alternating leg lunges
- Going up forwards got a little dull, so we did the last round Bernie Sanders, and then moseyed to the flag and got back right at 6:15 or so….
It’s truly a privilege to lead this group.
