Fourteen men showed at The Fighting Yank on a morning so glorious it could make you believe that winter is not rolling in fast. YHC had the Q, my first Q in Gaston County, which came with multiple requests from the local HIMS for a Texas size beatdown. ( I’m sure I had those requests, multiple requests, right?).

The day started with the standard disclaimers followed by stretching and warmups, then onto Goose’s Seven Minute Hotel Room Workout, 30 seconds each of:
Side Straddle Hop
Wall Sit
Derkins
LBCs
Step Ups
Four Count Squats
Tricep Dips
Planks
High Knees
Lunges
Merkin and Rotate
Side Plank, Right Hand High
Side Plank, Left then Right Hand High

The HIMS, responding magnificently to the beginning of the workout, clamored for additional and even greater challenges:
Calf Raises
The Burpee Tree House, climbing to Nine
More Calf Raises
Climb down the Treehouse with Merkins

Hill climbs with Little Baby Arm Circles and Bobby Hurley’s and then down to the playground for one more set of the Hotel Room Workout. Sadly for all, we were now out of time.
