Always Be EHing!!!

Two Cotters we back in the fold with the 7 other HIM who made it on a cold morning. This is what happened…

Pledge of Allegiance

Warmup – Don Quixote

Mosey toward the park, making sure to power up the tunes along the way. This would be the first workout with music for YHC in quite a while. The theme was songs that start slowish but finish strong. The first was “Waiting Room” by Fugazi, it has a strong base line and good beat, check it out.

Partner up for Dora 123 – 100 Merkins, 200 Jump Squats, 300 LBCs

The next hit was “Closer to the Heart” by Rush. Whoopee cried the entire time this was played, just couldn’t contain himself. It was impressive to see.

U2 was up next with “Where the Streets Have No Name”. Classic, motivating, inspiring. Can’t beat the classics.

Speaking of classics, “Stairway to Heaven” was on the list. Amazingly, one of the PAX whose name rhymes with EC Strider claims he didn’t know about this landmark anthem.

We moseyed down the parking lot for the next routine, The Figure 8. In this, we went in a figure 8 pattern (go figure) and did 15 reps of each of the exercises: dips, bobby hurleys, merkins, monkey humpers, dips again, flutter kicks, WWI situps, monkey humpers again.

During this work we heard “Somebody I Used to Know” by the one hit wonder Gotye. It made us remember all the Cotters who need to be EHed.

Smashing Pumpkins brought the shred next with “Drown” from the Singles soundtrack, one of the best movie soundtracks ever IMO. Check it out! Bandit called what this one was without any hesitation because he knows.

The unique “Southbound Pachyderm” by Primus finished up the Figure 8 and took us into the Triple Nickel becuase that’s what we had time for. We did Pickle Pounders so Gastone could practice and American Hammers at the other end.

The last hit we only got to hear part of was “Searching With My Good Eye Closed” by Soundgarden from their Badmotorfinger album. It’s awesome.

We did a little bit of Mary at the end to finish with a max of 10 reps so most of the guys could get a change to call on. We went over the 5 Core Principles of F3 during this thing just so everyone knows what we’re all about.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead men!
