I checked my phone one last time before going to bed Friday night, only to find Gabrielle looking for someone to take his Q at Misty Mountain in the morning. I decided to help a brutha out! I was not feeling particularly creative, so I designed the workout based on what I thought Gabby would do. We started with a warm up beneath the Oak trees in front of Tulane University… All in cadence.
SSHx20, Arm Circles F/B x10, Imperial Walkers x20, Grass Grabbers x10
I cant believe I forgot the Open Gates and Toy Soldiers. That was a miss on my part!
After a mosey to the base of the Mountain. We knocked a a Route 66 of Burpees starting with one rep on the bottom, and ending with 11 at the very top, adding one rep per side per floor. Gabby loves him some Route 66!
We then made our way down to the benches for the R/L leg power ups, incline and decline merks and dips. Chiquita very astutely pointed out that Gabby would demonstrate each exercise and give a long-winded description of each to the PAX. So i did my best Gabby impression. Judging by the laughter that ensued, the PAX thought it was a very uncanny impression of Gabby!
We ended the Gabby experience at Rosy Palm Court with low slow squats (butts hitting the bench) in cadence x15, and Mary with each PAX leading an Ab exercise. On our mosey back to the flag, Subprime pointed out that Gabby’s shirt is waaaay tighter than mine, and we were actually headed back to the flag on time…
We ended with COT and cawfee under the oaks in Audubon Park.
