The Carpool

8 HIMs dropped their kids off at the elementary school for some ab work, and stayed for some highlights from YHC’s time with the Bulldoggers.  Here’s what I remember.

The Thang:

• 10 x Goofballs (IC)
• 10 x Don Quixotes (IC)
• 10 x Cotton Pickers (IC)
• 10 x Hillbilly Walkers (IC)
• 10 x Rocky Balboas (IC)
• 10 x Mike Tysons (IC)
• 10 x Nolan Ryans R (IC)
• 10 x Nolan Ryans L (IC)
• 10 x Dips (IC)
• Hold Plank

Mosey to the far side of the parking lot to explain the carpool.  Each 2.0 added to the carpool gets a name, an age, and an ab exercise.  We mosey to the beginning of the awning, do the exercises for that 2.0, then mosey to the drop-off and do the exercises for all the 2.0s so far.  Sounds more complicated than it is.  Here’s how it went:

Flintstone:

• Archie, 14, Penguins
  • Pickup: 14 x Penguins (OYO)
  • Drop-off: 14 x Penguins (OYO)

Nutria:

• Bronwen, 14, Flutter Kicks
  • Pickup: 14 x Flutter Kicks (OYO)
  • Drop-off: 14 x Penguins (OYO) & 14 x Flutter Kicks (OYO)

Watts Up:

• Caroline, 15, Crunchy Frogs
  • Pickup: 15 x Crunchy Frogs (OYO)
  • Drop-off: 14 x Penguins (OYO), 14 x Flutter Kicks (OYO) & 15 x Crunchy Frogs (OYO)

Spiderman:

• Riley, 20, Peter Parkers
  • Pickup: 20 x Peter Parkers (OYO)
  • Drop-off: 14 x Penguins (OYO), 14 x Flutter Kicks (OYO), 15 x Crunchy Frogs (OYO) & 20 x Peter Parkers (OYO)

At this point, the car was full.  No more 2.0s could fit, so everyone else would need to put their 2.0s on the bus.

Next up, we headed back to the theoretical flag for a round of exercises.  Here we’d go AMRAP for however long the Q held out (about 30-45 seconds), with a few seconds break to switch.  So like a Tabata timer, except without the timer.  And the music.  YHC heard about that one.  Bulldoggers like their music.  Here’s what we did:

• AMRAP KB Clean & Press (OYO)
• AMRAP Tricep Extensions (OYO)
• AMRAP Chest Press Pullovers (OYO)
• AMRAP Choose-your-own Merkins (OYO)
• AMRAP Dips (OYO)

Next we ran a couple laps around the parking lot, and paused for some exercises and to talk about YHC’s favorite low impact posts.

Exercises:

• 10 x SSH (IC)
• 10 x Mahktar Ndiayes (IC)
• 10 x Seal Jacks (IC)
• 10 x Merkins (IC)

Highlights:

• HIPAA’s 5150 (First low impact post)
• Double Stuf’s Athlean/Prisoner (First Bulldog)
• Rudolph’s Redwood/Last Q (Just a good time & memorable)

Time remained, so we wrapped up with LBCs til 0615

Announcements:

• Christmas Party
• Low-running bootcamps in December/January @ The Sandlot for FNGs, Kotters, and PAX that don’t normally run much

Prayer Requests:

• Les Nessmans’s family
• T-Square’s family
• Tube’s family

Moleskin:

I’m better for getting involved with the low impact workouts.  These guys can deliver a beatdown without having to run all over the place to do it.  I’ve just been so thankful that they’ve been willing to teach me how all this stuff works.

Another good start to another good day.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
