Baseball-like Four Corners

So, during the school year I have an arrangement worked out with my M. I try to be home by 6am to get the kids ready for school (make sure they are up and dressed, fed, etc…) so my M only has to worry about herself in the mornings. But this shortens my time at the workout with the other Pax, and gets me some razzing for only staying for “half” the workout (though, EC+30 minutes is still a full workout for me, but I guess Forestview and North Gaston math don’t mix). REGARDLESS, I thought to try to Q more,  and get outside of Folsom during the Summer months.

I instantly thought it would be neat to try to do a baseball themed workout at the Labyrinth. Now, being my first time trying this, I learned a lot (music would have been nice, and pairing Pax up initially would have worked better than trying to come up with something on the fly). But, the reason I wanted to do something baseball themed was… for one we’re at Martha Rivers Park, but mainly… a little known fact… I designed the new Labyrinth F3 shirts and the maze (or labyrinth) that is behind the Gashouse Minotaur is loosely based off a map of the baseball fields that is posted at the Park.

Warm Up:

20 SSH – IC
20 Gravel Pickers – IC
20 Nolan Ryan’s (10 each side – IC)
15 Mountain Man Poopers (look up “F3 Lexicon Mountain Man Shiterz” on YouTube if you want to see a funny video about the creation of this exercise from the Pax in Waynesville, NC who gave me my F3 name)

Mosey to the Park

Tha Thang – F3 Baseball… or OYO 4 Corners:

Sprint to next base after the batter finishes his 15 burpees

Mosey back to Pelicans and circle up…

20 Stogie-fied Gas Pumps – IC
20 Star Crunches
Mary with each Pax calling an exercise, though I let Oompa Loompa go twice ’cause I like his Marine-style cadence counting. It finished the workout with us all having smiles on our faces.
