With the recent winter weather, all of Folsom was under snow or ice.  10 men overcome the temptation to fart sack and posted at Folsom.

Warmup:

SSH, Gravel Pickers, Hillbillies

 

With all the ice, we didn’t go far from the COT for the entire workout.  First routine we stayed in place for a lil Pandemic!  3 exercises called, Burpees, Mountain Climbers, Sit-Ups.  Start with 1 Burpee, 2 MC, 3 Sit-ups.  Then 2 Burpees, 4 MC, 6 Sit-ups.  Continue this until you finish with 10 Burpees, 20 MC, 30 Sit-ups.  That got the blood flowing!

Short mosey to snow covered soccer field beside tennis courts. 4 Corner Escalator called.  1st corner 10 Hand Release Merkins.  Mosey to 2nd corner 10 HR Merkins, 20 Jump Lunges. Mosey to 3rd corner 10 HR Merkins, 20 Jump Lunges, 30 Plank Jacks.  Mosey to last corner 10 HR Merkins, 20 Jump Lunges, 30 Plank Jacks, 40 Flutter Kicks.  Stay in place, now time to head back down.  40 Flutter Kicks, 30 Plank Jacks, 20 Jump Lunges, 10 HR Merkins.  Mosey to next corner for 30 Plank Jacks,20 Jump Lunges, 10 HR Merkins.  Mosey to next corner for 20 Jump Lunges, 10 HR Merkins.  Mosey to last corner for 10 HR Merkins. That was a lot of Jump Lunges in the snow.  Especially for those that wore snow boots.  My legs still feel that one.

Short walk back to COT.  Last routine called is one from the F3 Grand Strand area. Named after an F3 brother who lost his life in the line of duty.  Called “The Hightower”.  It’s one of my favorites and it’s brutal.  Definitely look it up. Goes like this:

5 exercises, 9 reps each

1). 9 Burpees

2). 9 Body Builders – Burpee with Plank Jack

3). 9 Triple Merkin Burpees – Burpee with 3 Hand Release Merkins

4). 9 Triple Jump Squat Burpee – Burpee with 3 Jump Squats

5). 9 Putting Them All Together – Triple Merkin Triple Jump Squat Bodybuilders – Burpee with 3 HR Merkins, Plank Jack, 3 Jump Squats

That routine is awful.  By the 5th exercise, you are completely smoked and have to give it all you got to finish!  Time

Appreciate the opportunity to lead today.  Wasn’t sure how it would go with the freezing temps, ice and limited running.  Lots of fun this morning, and I appreciate the push!,
