Crazy 10s

First time back to Gashouse in exactly a month having been out sick myself the past couple weeks and a sick toddler before that and out of town before that.  Felt good to be back home!  Thanks to the 8 other HIM who hung in there with me.

Warmup:  Imperial Walkers ICx20, SideStraddleHop ICx30, Don Quixote ICx30, LBC ICx15, PlankJack ICx15, Slow Mosey including ButtKickers, High Knees and Karaoke L and R.  Pledge to Old Glory.

Mosey up the hill westward to the little church for a little Ring of Fire.  Then the pax shared prayers during a round of Walkerstrong.  And as is my signature, we saluted Garrison Blvd with MonkeyHumpers IC x 10.

Mosey down to the library for MoroccanNightClubs ICx50.  Mosey over to the wall for Dips ICx10.  Then we moseyed to the steps behind First Presby for….

The Thang

Inspired by a Pinterest post of “Crazy 8s” exercises (8 reps of 8 exercises) I decided to two-up the incredibly fit lady in the picture and created our “Crazy 10s”.  Ten exercises at 3 different pain stations in increasing rounds, beginning with one each and increasing by 1 each at each station with the goal of ending with 10 of each exercise….bottom of the steps, top of the steps behind the “Pad” building and down the driveway next to the playground. Exercises were:  SSH, Freddie Mercury, Mt. Climbers, Squats, Merkins, Lunges, Burpees, American Hammer, LBC and 10 second plank.  At the “nine” station, we received the 5 minute warning so had to Omaha ….however it is definitely worth noting Messy and Phelps (2 of the 2.0s) had already completed their “ten” station and ran back to help Madoff and AT-AT complete their nines.

We moseyed back home and heard the dismissal bell on the way…..sorry for running late guys!

Name-o-Rama was fun giving AT-AT his name…..he is a huge Star Wars fan and his favorite exercise was the Imperial Walker!!

Prayer concerns for visits with grandparents and a couple different illnesses/injuries. Announcements — Convergence of all Gastonia region AOs at Gashouse in 2 weeks, 12.17.16 to benefit Operation Sweet Tooth and West Gastonia Boys and Girls Club.  Bring an unwrapped toy or 2….or 10.  Also same date, come to The Round Bistro 7-10pm to find out why YHC is the Renaissance Man, DaVinci…..(I’m playing and singing for your entertainment!)

Moleskin — Great to see several young dudes (Madoff’s 2.0 and a couple friends) and that they not only kept up, but were in the lead most of the way!!  Great work young men!!!!  Great work Madoff for bringing them from the 2nd level of concentrica into the 1st.  Hope to see them more and more of their buddies too!
