  • Cycles – from Tinkles

    The gloom was in full effect and the park was so wet that ducks were hanging around like it was the marsh. To keep the pax dry and out of duck poop we stuck to the running loop.

    Warm ups: SSH, FAC, RAC, Grassgrabbers, Windmills

    The Thang:

    Indian run with a hault after one or two cycles through the runners. After the cycle, stop for an excesse. As we went we covered 1) mountain climbers, Peter Parker’s, Parker Peters 2) Merkin ring of fire 3) Squats 4) Burpees 5) Incline merkins, RLSU, Dips, LLSU, decline merkins 6) squat jumps 7) Russian twists 8) LBTs 9) Big boy sit ups 10) Pull ups and then back to the flag.

    Intentions for remembering time with family during holiday chaos and a safe New Years Eve.

  • Field Trip – from Tinkles

    After the excitement of last weeks Q vs Q the pax showed up expecting another well organized beat down. Much to everyone’s surprise there was no Q. After brief shrugs I was appointed and off we went!

    Warm up in front of Loyola:

    Grass grabbers, imperial walkers, and SSHs complete.

    BLIMPS down the Avenue. A progression of BLIMPS at each cross street to Daneel Park.

    Lovely grass in the park made a great location for burpee and jump squat ring of fire. Voluntary Mary followed.

    Back down St. Charles with run sprint alternating at cross streets. Cross street with a stop light: 5 burpees.

    Bench work at the fountain: advanced wife pleasers (as if!), right and left leg power ups, decline merkins, dips.

    COT: gratitude for great weather, prayers for hurricane victims in FL, thanks for each other!
