Warm-a-Rama:
Seeing how the convergence on the North Shore was taking place at the same time, the JV team stayed back and “Stormed the Knoll.”
- Capri Lap – a little mosey.
- SSH – 10x
- Al Gores – 10X.
- Merkins – 10x
- Goofball – 10x
- Burpees – 5
The Thang:
With Tornado warnings out, we thought it would be a good idea to workout together in an open park. And because we’re men, and this is the USA, we did. It went like this:
The PAX moseyed to sundial. Formed circle and performed a little arm and leg circuit.
- 20 Merkins
- 12 Freak Nastys
- 20 Incline Merkins
- 12 Freak Nastys
- 20 Derkins
- 10 Freak Nastys
- 30 Al Gores
- 30 Lunges
- 20 Step-ups
- 20 Box jumps
We then went on a little mosey. But ended back at the sundial (easier access to shelter).
We then did my favorite. Partnered up and did Col Trautman. One partner runs from sundial to pull-up bars and does 5. While the other did AMRAP of the following:
A – Arms – Freak Nastys
L – Legs – Al Gores
A – Abs – LBCs
M – M workout – Merkins
P – P workout – Planks
We then did a couple group exercises. We broke the field into thirds and did the following:
- Tunnel of Love – with only 5 PAX, this was a lot of crawling.
- Plank Snake – a lot of running.
- Bridge of Hate – So this was a new one. We all laid on our backs side by side. One person then laid down (backwards… which is important… like a trust fall) and then gets passed along by the PAX. Like crowd surfing. Dagwood was first one up. Long story short, this ended quickly and Dagwood may have been violated. We do hope he shows up again and doesn’t press charges.
Mary:
With the ominous clouds still a brewing, we did our Marys:
- LBCs 20x
- Jane Fondas – 10x each leg
- Leg Lifts
- American Hammers

Coffeeteria:
We ordered our food and coffee. Shangeaux showed up to fellowship. Then those ominous clouds broke loose. The electricity went out (as a tornado touched down about 2 miles away). The millennial baristas were frazzled. They closed the store and went into the back of store to take cover. But the PAX stayed in the cafe, sipping our coffee, and talking about life. Shangeaux gave some nice advice on parenting, and also explained to us how he has the best job. Ask him about it. Power came on. Back to being men, serving our homes and community.
