It was a super muggy typical summer morning here in the Little D. I saw a decent crowd I approached the tennis courts at Folsom. To be honest I was excited about the simplicity of the workout for this particular morning. Not simple as far as it being easy but simple as far as the exercises being called. S-A is on the record for saying you only need 4 or 5 exercises for a good workout. We’ve all heard it Burpees, Some sort of squats, Mike Tysons, Imperial Walkers, Merkins etc… Well I’m bout to run this thang with 3.

With no FNGs there’s no need for a disclaimer. But I did give my own disclaimer. Do the work with proper form or be called out and shamed profusely. Some in this crowd will definitely modify no matter what.

We warmed up with some of the basics along with some stretches and mobility movements. And just like that we’re off. We ran to the Flag Pole stopping at each light pole along the way to do 5 Burpees. Once at the flag pole we caught our breath long enough to say the pledge.

After the pledge we moseyed down to a place in the park where the county used to house bad kids. Later it became group home location. I never spent any time here growing up but probably should have.

Anyway we’re going to triple nickel.  Here at the bottom we’re gonna do Jungle Boy Squats then run up the hill to stop sign at the Flag Pole and do 5 Bonnie Blairs each leg. This took a little more time than I anticipated due to the long run between. But we got it done.

Once we finished there we headed to the horse track for a 6×6 of the same exercises as before. We did our 6 Jungle Boy Squats at the bottom of the concrete bleachers and the 6 Bonnie Blairs per leg at the top. This time instead of a run between we box jumped up and down the concrete bleachers between rounds.

Now that we’ve finished this round of  simplicity we’re heading back towards the tennis court parking lot and wouldn’t you know it we’re passing the same light poles as before so we did 5 Burpees at each again but this time we added in 10 Jungle Boys to go along with them. Once back we had enough time to gather up at the last light and get the last set best set done together.

And that’s Time

The goal was to get through a final round that consisted of a 7×7 of the same movements. As stated before the longer run on the round of 5s ate up a lot more time than I anticipated. So just like in life we analyze , adjust, and adapt to complete the tasks at hand.

Also this was all legs and plyo work. You can’t build a strong building without an even stronger foundation and the same goes for the body and spirit.

Thanks for the Werk Men.
