I realize this may be late in at least one or two people’s eyes, but we can’t all be superstars.

I tried to make at least half of the beatdown mosey-related for the RCR folks, so we did just that: moseyed around old Mandeville, stopping on average every block or two to perform reps of 10 exercises in what I call an “Escalator”, or as Chewy rightly called it: “Sudoku”. Exercise 1 gets 10 reps, Exercise 2 gets 9 reps, down to one. Next round, Exercise 1 gets 1 rep, 2 gets 10, R&R until as Steve was first to chime each will get 55 reps for a total of 550 movements. Math!

The exercises:
Shoulder tap plank jacks
Star jumps
Merkins
Burpees
Jump squats
Murder bunnies
American hammers
Crunchy frogs
Donkey kicks
Imperial squat walkers

The weather: Foggy! As thick as I’ve seen this year (39 days in). This, humid so sweat was a plenty. Around 64 degrees to start, so within the 3.7 degree window that Quarterpipe will join us in.

The music: Not Jose’s

We timed it well enough that there was no Mary, so COT, NOR, announcements, and prayer closed us out.

Coffee afterward, which is apparently a thing and I may or may not have needed a special engraved invitation for.

Thank you all for joining and making the world a better place. SYITG
