Mixed it up with a low-run workout…

Glad to see 17 PAX post at Tequila Sunrise.  (That’s nearly double the typical TeqSun turnout according to YHC’s memory.)

btw:  As usual, it was not too dark at the Tequila Sunrise AO for a good beatdown.

WARMUP:  Side Straddle Hops, Alarm Clocks, Air Presses, Mosey

THE THANG (in no particular order, compared to what actually happened)

  • Ring of Fire  – Circle Up – Chopping Wood, One by one, each PAX calls “Down” for 1 burpee, 
  • 11’s  –  CDDs, Amer Hammers  w/NUR back
  • Ring of Fire 2 – Circle Up, holdPlank.   One by one, each PAX knocks out 10 Merkins around circle, then returns to holding plank
  • Ring of Fire 3 –  Circle Up “Global Warming” – .  PAX hold Al Gore.  PAX take turns calling 10 reps, exercise of their choice
  • “Febreze”  – 2 BigBoys;  Stay Up for 10 Air Presses, w/ legs 6” in the air;   2BB:20AP, 4BB:40AP,  6BB, 60 40 Air Presses  (Note to self:  Next time, either skip the leg raise part, or lower the air-press reps.  This was fatiguing and required an Omaha at the last of 40 AirPresses by YHC, since “If you can’t do it, you can’t Q it.”)
  • Merkin JAX Mountain –  1Merkin:4PlankJax,   2Merkin:8PlankJax, up to 5Merkins:20PlankJax, back down to 1Merkin:4PlankJax
  • Four Corners 10 each corner, run to next corner, 10 reps  Six Shooters
  • 6MOMary

Note:  Circle Exercises where all PAX hold a position (plank, Al Gore, etc) while only one PAX does an exercise result in a lot of mumblechatter around the circle.

Note2:  Giving the PAX an opportunity to do any exercise (not just the Mary ones) is a good way to surface some new exercise ideas, obscure exercises, and some oldies-but-goodies. (Thanks, BOS for showing us “Homer and Marge”)
