Date: 8/31/2021

PAX: Tonka, Sea-Man, Crash, Goofy, Organ Grinder, Starfish, Ziffle, Ziggy stardust (QIC), 60 MINUTES, Harden, Schneider, Sassy

I realized we hadn’t been out to the basketball court or the hill for a while, so decided to take a little tour of that part of the AO.

We first warmed up at the parking lot with:

SSH x 15

Broga (sun salutations)

Abe Vigoda

Whirlies

Imperial Storm Troopers

The PAX then chose blocks and we walked to the back of the school to the court. Forgot how dark it can be at 5:30 am!

THE THANG:

Four Stations at each corner with four exercises in sequence (tabata style):

#1 Merkins: 1. hand raise 2. diamond 3. wide 4. regular

#2 Core: 1. kettle bell swings 2. American Hammers 3. low flutterĀ  4. WWII

#3 Chest/Arms: 1. chest press w/block 2. skull crushers 3. bent over rows 4. curls

#4 Legs: 1. squats 2. lunges 3. monkey humpers 4. calf raises

PAX divided into small groups at different stations. Four rounds doing each in sequence – first round all the 1’s, next round the second listed, etc. , with 1 minute per exercise with 15 seconds rest to get to the next station.

HILL WORK

Everyone climbed to the top of the hill and chose partners

Round 1:

Partner 1 did LBCs while Partner 2 went down the hill, did 2 burpees, and came back up, Partner 1 then does the same.

Round 2: Freddie Mercs

Return blocks and gather in the parking lot for Mary, joined by four runners (60 Minutes, Schneider, Hardin, and Sassy)

Various ab exercises, hold plank to the end.

Time!

No Announcements or Prayer Requests

YHC took us out, with prayers for Boomerang and his family, for those dealing with aging parents, for the victims of the hurricane in Louisiana, and all unspoken prayers.

Great to get Tonka out this morning and to see one of our ‘new guys’ Ziffle make it out to a weekday beatdown.

The usual strong work by all! Honor to lead.
