Months ago, YHC got the odd idea to create a workout themed around the music of Hall & Oates, but put the idea and a couple of details in my phone under “Workout Ideas” in the Notes app.\u00a0 Then early this week, Boomerang asked\u00a0 me to Substi-Q as he was out of town for a wedding.\u00a0 So, idea met opportunity.<\/p>\n
YHC loaded 13 hits by Daryl Hall and John Oates into my free Spotify account and created a playlist.\u00a0 Then YHC came up with 13 pairs of exercises, a pair for each song, with some of the exercises matching the song title or lyrics.\u00a0 YHC reached out to Starfish who has a much better speaker, and the plan was finalized.<\/p>\n
We let Spotify choose a song from the playlist, and effectively Q the workout.\u00a0 Here is how it went down with the warm-up coming from the mind of the human Q:<\/p>\n
Warmorama — all in cadence to 10<\/p>\n
Yes, that spells out Philadelphia, the original home of the band and where they met at Temple University.<\/p>\n
1st song was “She’s Gone” so we paused Spotify and ran to the track to partner up.\u00a0 One moseys while other does 5 merkins and then sprints to catch partner and then flip flop.\u00a0 Repeat until song ends — speaker and phone with Starfish.\u00a0 This took us all the way around the track plus about 100 yards.<\/p>\n
2nd was “Maneater” for Man-Maker Merkins and burpees at the basketball court.<\/p>\n
Oh, when ads came on – and they were frequent — all Pax did LBCs.<\/p>\n
3rd was “Adult Education” for SSHs and Parker Peters.<\/p>\n
4th was “Rich Girl” so we moved to the tennis courts for Suicides followed by 40 Jack Reachers and repeato.<\/p>\n
5th was “Kiss on my List” so we moved to the field by the playground closest to school for curtsy squats and Carolina dry docks.<\/p>\n
6th was “Method of Modern Love” and we moved to near the rock pile — but didn’t use rocks — for Nolan Ryans and side squats.<\/p>\n
7th was “You Make my Dreams” and we moved to the grass beside the community center for plank salutes and imperial walkers.<\/p>\n
It was about 7:53 but we played another.\u00a0 “Out of Touch” with dips and step-ups at the entrance to the community center, and in a few moments we were “out of time”.<\/p>\n
With another commercial, we moseyed back to the start\/finish at 7:59.<\/p>\n
