Seven Step Program

November 10, 2023 / / 0 Comments

When Sister Act reached out about taking a downtown Q, YHC knew it couldn’t be a lightweight weinke. It needed to be something that would be tough but also foster the mumblechatter that is so valued Downtown.

YHC arrived to find a few PAX waiting and several other screaming into the parking lot close to time. 0530… so let’s get after it.

(Very) brief disclaimer
Warm-up
SSH IC x 12
LBCs IC x 12
Merkins IC x 12
Imperial Walkers IC x 12

The Pledge

Let’s Mosey towards the bridge. YHC knew that Whoopee was doing the Chad1000 at Bess that morning so the plan all along was to incorporate as many step-ups into the workout as possible.
We stopped at the planters over the bridge for just that opportunity.
Step-ups – 25 each leg

Mosey towards the parking lot across Long Avg below the stairs. Time for what I named Stairway to Seven. Not step-ups, but we did go up steps.
Partner up – Partner 1 does the exercise AMRAP (not the missle system) while P2 runs up the stairs, across, and then down the other set of stairs. Once P1 returns, P2 runs while P1 does same exercise. 7 trips up the stairs for each partner
Round 1 – Seal Jacks
Round 2 – Squats
Round 3 – Flutter Kicks
Round 4 – Perfect-form Merkins
Round 5 – Calf Raises w/ Morrocon Night Clubs
Round 6 – Big Boy Sit-ups
Round 7 – Burpees
Then, Burpees until all groups were done

Mosey back over the bridge. First time through, Wirenut mentioned there were bars that were perfect for pull-ups. Great idea.
2 by 2 like Noah and the Arc, the PAX would do 5 pull-ups each while everyone else did Step-Ups at planters on bridge.
When all pairs had finished, YHC decided we needed another run of that. So we repeated down the line again. Just to note, a little better the second time, but not much.

Mosey to the parking deck. PAX would do 10 count of each of 7 exercises from Stairway to Seven. So…
Seal Jacks x 10
Squats x 10
Flutter Kicks x 10
Perfect-form Merkins x 10
Calf Raises w/ Morrocon Night Clubs x 10
Big Boy Situps x 10
Burpees x 10 (5 were called, but Q gave into peer pressure to not seem weak)

Mosey up stairs and around to next floor. Repeat of 7 exercises x 10.

Mosey up stairs again to top floor. Time only allowed for 10 burpees.

Mosey back to the flag. Flutter Kicks until a false stop was called with 20 seconds to go. As to not cheat anyone, 2 burpees were called. Time…

Mary

Word:

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:5‭-‬7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[5] Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” [6]  Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, [7] casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

“In the end, your fear reveals a lot about your theology. When you embrace anxiety and worry, you are embracing a set of beliefs about God, his love for you, and his ability to take care of you. When our anxiety is fueled by fear, the Bible talks about it less in terms of a weakness of constitution that needs to be overcome, and more as a sin to be avoided and repented of.”

Slow and Steady

November 9, 2023 / / 0 Comments

9 HIM made it out to Folsom on this, balmy 60 degree morning.

Warm up was typical and nothing fancy.

Before moving into the first part of the workout we talked about exercise “form” and possibly one of the main cause of form degeneration (and subsequent injury due the bad form) MAY be that many times some PAX will breeze through an exercise while another struggles through it and after a few rounds the PAX that was behind starts to compromise form to keep up with the group. So to test this theory all of our work this morning was done slowly and deliberately and there were “catch up” points built into each evolution.  It all seemed to work well with the work being hard enough to keep the sweat on everyone’s brow but still truly “leaving no man behind” because let’s face it we’ve all been the six and will be again for one reason or another!

The work was simple,

At the picnic shelter we did:

Bulgarian split squats, dips, step ups, and derkins, 3 rounds of 10 reps

 

In the parking lot we did:

Paula Abdule’s with lunge walking forward and backwards and 2 Mike Tysons, every 3 space we would hold plank for the 6 then continue.

 

In the tennis courts we did:

Escalators, one exercise per court stacking them as we moved (together of course)

5 squats, 10 Hibillys, 15 mountain climbers, 20 plank jacks, 25 air presses, 30 LBCs

and of course if you stack the exercises then you must unstack them on the return trip.

 

Back at COT we had just enough time for some ab lab with: flutter kicks, Freddy Mercurys, American hammers, crab cakes, and LBCs

 

Announcements: Ultimate Frisbee Thanksgiving day, Christmas town run Sat after TG,

Prayers/praises: Baby Brooks is home, Wire Nuts mother, Paul barer: family , Clutch’s dad surgery recovery

 

11/8 Prison Break

November 8, 2023 / / 0 Comments

We ran Sargento had to run solo the Three Amigos left out a few minutes early to get some extra miles.

The question I have been thinking about today is should we communicate more, or show up to the AO earlier.

Deep Thoughts.

 

The Bed Pan is Full.
