Presidential Physical Fitness Challenge

QIC: Chisel

Date: 9/13/17

PAX: Jarjar, Snookie, Swiss Miss, Plunger, Glazer, Wobegon, Hazer, Peacemaker, Phelps, Miyagi, Thistle, Root Canal, Lite Brite, Cherry Pie, The Vig, Roosevelt, D-Day, Manscape, Goofy, Mutton, Bathhouse, Mr. Hand, Razzie, Chisel.

24 pax gathered for YHC’s Conspiracy VQ. I’d like to think we had such a great numbers due to the Q. However I think it’s more likely the higher numbers were in support of Hazer’s return; a much better cause.

This morning’s workout was a throwback to middle school PE class with the presidential physical fitness challenge. The challenge was to accomplish the standard set for a 17-year-old male.

13 pull ups

Sit and reach 7 inches past your heels

30 foot shuttle run in under 8.7 seconds

Warm-o-Rama:

1 lap around the track

20 SSH IC

10 AV IC

20 IST IC

20 Mt Climbers IC

20 Merkins

The challenge:

Partner up and head to the pullup bars. 13 pull-ups, partner assist as needed.

Take turns attempting to sit and reach past your heels while the group stretched out with Whirlys and a clap

Mosey to field in the track  shuttle run 30 feet done and back twice

Partner up.  Partner 1 planks on feet of partner 2 who does 55 sit-ups.  Switch.

1 lap(1/4 of mile run)

Repeat and try to improve on round one.  This time with 2 laps(1/2 mile to complete 1 mile around track including warm up lap)

1 minute of stretching.  No time for Mary.

Done.

    Solid looking Q, Chisel. That 6:06 mile was something I could do at 17; now that’s a big fat nope. Will have to try this on my own. Sorry to miss it.

    Thanks for leading this AM Chisel. Ingenious and organized. Sorry I can’t do everything I could when I was 17, but glad I choose not to do many things I did when I was 17.

    I could barely touch my toes as a 17 year old and can’t quite reach my ankles now. Good work, Chisel.

    And Thistle is on target with his comment.

    I’d be lucky if my sit-and-reach was 7 inches past my knees… [ouch]

    Good-lookin’ workout, @Chisel!

    Excellent Q Chissel. Thank you for a Presidential welcome back to Hazer. Wish I had an extra orange beanie for your noble effort.

    I think you missed one announcement… SWISS MISS’s BIRTHDAY IS ALMOST HERE!!!

    Nice Q Chisel. I don’t usually venture this far on a Wednesday but today it was work the extra mileage. Glazer was a fine partner of sufficient size and stamina – in other words a trade in was not necessary – not that trading is allowed or customary but it would have made for some good chatter. Had to cheat on the planks because those are a bit testy after he 55 WWII situps – ouch. Pull-ups… Hated them in High School – nothing has changed (runner – albeit older and slower – arms) Way to keep a large group moving. Drawn up and delivered like the pro you are. Giddy up.
