Día de la Pierna

The inspiration for this week’s Sandlot weinke came from Watt’s Up’s Q last week at The Sandlot. We shot dice, and the fate of the beat down was determined by the roll of the dice. First of all, it was a strong beat down that even my Strava app noted “This was harder than your usual effort”, but I also just liked the unknown factor of the outcome. During the workout, I mentioned that it reminded me of the UNO workout that I’d done before at Martha’s, and that I needed to bring the cards back out soon. As we were in the COT, Stinky Bird mentioned that he needed a Q for the following week. Since no one jumped right in, I broke the silence and said I’d take the Q. It was at that point that I already knew what we’d be doing the following week.

As I drove in, I saw Stroganoff and Time Frame getting in a little EC. The PAX started to roll in, and by 530, we had a good crowd for another Monday Gameday.

Start with The Pledge

Warm-up
SSH x 15
LBC x 15
Imperial Walkers x 15

Mosey towards the park. Along the way, I nearly gave a poor lady a heart attack as we ran up on her. I thought she already knew we were closing in as I greeted her with a “Good morning.” Turns out, she did not.

Stop at the shed to gather the PAX.

Merkins x 10
Squats x 10

Mosey on the track around the baseball fields and up the path towards the building between the fields.

Let’s play UNO!

Deal a hand of 7 cards, face down, revealed one at a time. Each color is a different exercise with the count based on the number times 10 (I removed 6 through 9 including 0 out of mercy).

Red = Merkins (Rd 1), Hand Release Merkins (Rd 2), Diamond Merkins (Rd 3)
Yellow = Squats (Rd 1), Jump Squats (Rd 2), Imperial Walker Squats (Rd 3)
Green = LBC (Rd 1), Big Boy Sit-ups (Rd 2), Crunchy Frogs (Rd 3)
Blue = American Hammers (Rd 1), Dying Cockroaches (Rd 2), Flutter Kicks (Rd 3)
All Reverses = NUR around the building
All Skips = Lunge to a light along the path (increment by 1 for each skip) (and increment we did…)
All Draw 2’s = 2 8-count Body Builders
Draw 4’s = 4 8-count Body Builders
Wild Cards = Burpees x5

The cards were well shuffled, and YHC allowed Watt’s Up to cut the deck. Little did we know that the cards would decide that the PAX would get leg day out of the way early this week…

Yellow Draw 2 = 2 8-count Body Builders
Draw 4 = 4 8-count Body Builders

Round 2
Red Reverse = NUR around the building
Yellow 2 = 20 Jump Squats
Green 1 = 10 Big Boy Sit-ups
