DIEHARD

11 Boneheads showed up for my Christmas themed workout at the Goat. Nothing was really coming to me when I was working on my weinke, so I just went with something easy, on paper anyway. It was cold and I’m not sure I will ever get used to the cold, but this am seemed colder than usual. We started with a disclaimer and quick warmup then headed up the street past Floyd and Blackies. On the way we started to get a little spread out so we stopped at a light for some squats. We headed up into a parking lot then I was informed one side of the lot was an apartment complex so we quietly moseyed across the street to a church with a nice parking lot and the group was informed of the plan: the Christmas themed workout would be based on a Christmas movie we all know and love: DieHard. We started up by the church with a nice wall and did 10 reps of the “D” exercise then took a lap around the lot. Once we all returned we did 10 reps each of the “D” and “I” exercises then took another lap. Once we all returned we did 10 reps of the “D” then the “I” then the “E” exercises then took a lap. This continued until we finished all exercises as below:

D-Donkey Kicks     I-Imperial Walkers     E-Eight Count Body Builders     H-Hand Release Merkins which changed to Humpers, the monkey variety after the first round.     A-Ass slappers (similar to HIP SLAPPERS), however Tesla had to be cautioned multiple times to slap his own ass.     R-Reverse Lunge     D-Deconstructed Burpees

This took longer than I expected which actually worked out pretty well for me since I had nothing else planned. We moseyed slowly back and got 3 burpees at each light and took the long way around the Goat park. Once back to start we had time for some Mary then called it a day.

Great group of guys out here today. Everyone pushed the rock and more than half of us went to Floyd and Blackies for a little fellowship. It’s times like these I realize how much more this morning routine is than just some exercise group. It was nice to just slow down for the morning and hear about what is going on with everyone. We saw a few of the M’s coming in for coffee and 2-3 Pubbers coming over for fellowship and some blade sharpening.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead and for the guys who posted on a cold morning.

Whoopee
