Day: December 11, 2019

Confusion in the gloom?  Okay Clavin, start with the pledge and warmup! The torch was passed when all muscles were loose-ish.

YHC took us on a mosey around Pelicans so I could ditch my coat in the truck, then mosey to the picnic shelter.

20 step ups each leg OYO

dips IC x 10

American hammer x 30 IC

The main thang, inspired by a brutal Sister Act workout Downtown in the parking deck.

5 exercises, 10 reps each then run around the Martha Rivers concessions building and back to parking lot beside the picnic shelter. Repeat 5 times, wait on the six in between.

Burpees

Imperial Walker Squats

Plank Jack Merkins

Smurf Jacks

Monkey Humpers

Back to the picnic shelter for 20 more step ups each leg OYO.

Dry Rub led in some flutter kicks IC.

Mosey back to Pelicans, but stop at entrance for 15+5 big boy situps

Mosey back to Pelicans… TIME!

Prayer requests:  Recovery / healing for Dry Rub’s M,  Outhouse’s dad, Watts Up father in-law.  Continued prayers for EZ Rider’s son.

Gastone shared some insight; it’s an honor and a privilege to be able to post, exercise, enjoy one another. Anything that keeps us from being out with the PAX and sharpening ourselves can leave us wishing and longing we were there and able.  Summary – let’s not take for granted our ability to get out and post!

YHC closed in Prayer

Well, it has been about 18 months since YHC took over as Site Q here at The Storm. Part of me wasn’t ready to hand it off, but I knew it was time for someone else to take the lead. I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to lead as Site Q here and also have learned a lot.

Now let’s get on with the work!

No FNGs, quick disclaimer and then the pledge

Warm-up

SSH x 35

Windmills x 15

Mountain Climbers x 15

Merkins x 15

The Thang

Mosey to side parking lot next to building. All PAX line up side by side, arm length apart. Squats in cadence x10

Form two lines parallel with each other for an Indian Run. Once everyone cycled through, stop for a called exercise. For some reason, once Termite got to the front of the line, he took off like he was an Indian being chased by a cowboy. I guess he thought we were playing Cowboys and Indians…Anyway, after we managed to get him back to the group. We made 3 laps around the parking with 6 different exercises called.

YHC made a brief speech about being the Site Q for the past 15 months and was time to hand it off to someone else, which is Dirt. Before Dirt would take over as Q, Roscoe said we need to have a quick ceremony, passing of the torch or a christening of some sort to make it official. So Dirt got down on his knees, and YHC said some Yada Yada, jibber jabber comments and that was it. YHC is not very creative, so there wasn’t much to it. Sorry Dirt, it was more than I received from Mayor last August. 🙂

At this point, Dirt takes over with the Q, and to the wall we went. Wall sits, overhead presses, hip slappers, maybe feet stompers, touch toes and hips. Rinsed and repeated 3x.

Next was four corners around the parking lot. First corner, 10 markins, corner 2, 20 Squats, then 30 mountain climbers, and last corner, 40 flutter kicks. Back to corner one. Rinse and repeat, but this time we escalate with each exercise. We now have 2 1/2 minutes left, but 10 more merkins  and mosey back to shovel flag.

Breaker Breaker

10 showed at Midoriyama for a rain break workout. With no plan of being under a shelter, I was happy that no hard rain fell on us. Let’s  began our evening.

Warmup

Grass Pickers

Over Head Claps

Hillbillies

With  the Christmas challenge in full affect and I’ve being trying to do a workout every day for the 40/50 challenge, the Christmas  challenge is a great way to deliver yourself a workout throughout the day. I decided to do a burpee mile type workout. 100 reps are what is needed for day ten of the Christmas challenge. So we are to complete 25 reps of an exercise and then run a lap.  I also like working out together and running with other people, so I decided to make all reps done together and run together. This promoted a lot of mumble chatter and a lot of laughter.

the first mile exercises are; 

Merkins

Squat

LBC

The second mile exercises are

CDD

Lunge for 2 rounds and Monkey Humpers 2

Flutter Kicks

2 miles done and time winding down we mosey back toward the start. We stop at each light pole on the left and do 5 Monkey Humpers. At the start we finish the Daly Christmas challenge with 10 Burpees. With roughly 9 min left we slow down with some merry. Sit Ups, SSH, Toy Soldiers, Nolan Ryans, plank, and Crunchy Frogs are most of what was performed. Time up!!
