Quiet Time @ The Estate 7/23

QIC: Burns

Date: 7/23/2018

9 PAX showed up this morning for a near-wordless workout at Reynolda Village. I think the silence was because they were still exhausted from Cheesesteak’s violation of the Helsinki Accords last week.

PAX: Cheesesteak, Fokker, Cobra, Hazer, Lemming, Swiss Miss, Gelding, Tonka, Burns (QIC)

Warm-O-Rama:
SSH x15
Imperial Walkers X15
Whirly’s Got the Clap X15
Arm Swirly Things forward X10
backwards X10
Toy Soldiers X10

The Thang:
We went on a visit to our favorite neighboring insitution of higher learning with a few stops on the walking path:
Lightpost – Merkins & Supermans X25
Big Bridge – Irkins & Dips X25
First Bench – SL Lunges X25
Little Bridge – Mountain Climbers & Jump Squats X25
Exit – Burpees X10

DORA in the lower general parking area
Hand-release Merkins X100
Squats X200
LBCs X300

We took the path back with a 40% discount on all exercises.
Burpees X6, all others X15

7 minutes left for a Mary show-and-tell
WWIIs (YHC)
Box Cutters (Tonka)
Freddy Mercs (Hazer)
Elbow Plank (Cobra)
Penguin Crunches (Gelding)
Low Flutter (Swiss Miss)
Bridge Pose w/Leg Lifts (Cheesesteak) (of course)
Muttons (Lemming)
Heels to Heaven (Fokker)

No comments, actions, outbursts, or complaints of note.  @BAM’s sarcasm was noticeably absent this am, and no PAX stepped up to fill the void. We were visited by an owl on the walking path to WFU who saw us doing lunges and promptly cried out, “hoo-hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo,” which I think translates to “WTF are you doing out here, it’s far too early for lunges.” Cobra & Hazer crushed the DORA portion, leaving the rest of the PAX in the dust. I got to work with Lemming this am, who gave me & Cheesesteak a good push.

YHC has the Q at Bells & Whistles on Wednesday, which all present PAX agreed is a far superior Wednesday workout option to Conspiracy, for which Swiss Miss has the Q this week. Keep an eye on the Twitter page for a possible launch change for Conspiracy as well.

No pressing prayer requests, YHC took us out thanking Him for the opportunity to work out and push each other and grow in fellowship with like-minded men, and for comfort for all who may be suffering from loss, loneliness, hunger, or homelessness in our city.

Thanks @Huckleberry for the keys, even though you left us for a younger, sexier workout.

    Tclaps @Burns. Simple, easy to remember workout, but still brought the heat. The lack of chatter this AM means one thing – 9 we’re getting after it. Definitely a good start to the week.

    Aye

      So my chatter means I’m not “getting after it” as you young kids like to say? I see how it’s gonna be. Maybe I’ll just stay out of town, and you can have your silent workouts.
