Day: April 5, 2017

Beautiful day in April, 16 showed up for a musical dance of pain and suffering.  After the Disclaimer for our FNG and a short warm up of SSH x 20 IC, Imperial walkers X 15 IC, Box Cutters, Freddie Mercury’s both X 15 IC, It was time for the short mosey to the flag pole for the pledge.  From the pledge the DJ struggled with his bluetooth but after a quick reboot, Tom Sawyer began to play.

Tha Thang:

Mosey to the Baptist Church parking lot.  Was it Heresy to play Rush in a Baptist Church Parking lot?  The only heat we were getting was from the workout.  The musical lineup:

Move by Thousand Foot Krutch: From the plank position in a large circle, every time the singer says “Move”, plank walk to the right, then when he says “step into the circle”, plank rotate in a circle 360°.  then when he says “move” again, plank walk to the left. repeato until the song ends or death.

Fatboy Slim, Right here-Right now: Lunge walk across parking lot, slightly uphill.

Dillon Francis & Dj Snake-Get low: The song says “Get low” about a thousand times.  Squat (and twirk as the beat moves you) while the song says “Get low”, trying to hold the squat as long as possible.  When the beat finally drops, do squats!. What’s lower than a squat? 6″!  Repeato with 6″ and when the beat drops, do Merkins.

For some moseying music, Outkast and Hey Yah: Mosey to soft grassy spot at the Presbyterian Church for some Tub Thumping.

Chumbawumba: Tub Thumping.  Every time he says “I get knocked down, and I get up again” you do a burpee!  In between, do SSH.

Now it’s time for a slow jam: Moby, Bring Sally up.  Squat when the song says “Bring sally down” and stand up when the song says “bring sally up”.  Simple, right?  You bet.  You’ll never forget a dance with Sally.

Next up: Theme song from Rocky:  Over to the wall for some Hip slappers IC x 10 (cadence called by Squirt), then some Dirkins IC x 10 (called by Dolf), then to the curbs for Rocky Balboa’s (toe taps) IC X 20.  Repeato!  Finished out 2 sets of these just as the song ended.

To the round about in front of the church for some Mosey-go-round.

Hearts on Fire:  Take a lap round the circle, every time you pass the Cross, do a Burpee or Merkin.  2nd time round, do 2.  3rd time around, do 3, and so on. Once the song completed there was about 8 minutes remaining and we began the mosey back to  the Schiele.

Finality:  Wall sits and overhead presses until “let the bodies hit the floor” finished, then back to the start for Mary (LBC’s, Freddy Mercury, Mountain Climbers, Dying Cockroach).

Welcome Joe, FNG Captain D!  In my dehydrated delirium I failed to get his info but I will track him down!
