Hammer hit us with an interesting study (from Harvard, no less!) yesterday at the Scramble: middle aged men who can do 40 pushups in one attempt have a 96% reduced risk of suffering from heart disease over the next 10 years. YHC had to look up the actual stats post-beatdown, and was unaware of this 10 year qualifier. Here I am promising Russo and Groupie that they were good for life with these 40 merkins!
So, after a brief warmup, we hit the road to the lakefront, stopping at each intersection for a set of 40 of the following exercises:
– Merkins
– Leg Raises
– Step Ups (40 ea leg)
– Shoulder Taps
– Monkey Humpers
– Freak Nasties
– Hello Dollies
– Jump Squats
– Hand-Release Merkins
– Air Presses
– Big Boy Sit-ups
YHC got to know Groupie a bit, enjoyed the always good mumblechatter with Russo, and logged an extra 1.2 miles for RCR. (You can assume all of my Q’s this month will at least involve a mile of running.) Little bit of Mary there at the end, followed by COT, where Russo closed us out. Thanks for the post gents, always a pleasure to be out there with you guys.
