This morning at the Sandlot, I initially counted six of us, but Alma Mater’s arrival made it seven after we realized he had taken a wrong turn. He explained that he had encountered someone riding a bicycle and, instead of recruiting them with an EH (Encouragement to join), he inadvertently frightened them by suggesting he was late for a workout.
Seeing no FNG’s I gave a brief disclaimer followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
WARM UP:
Two laps around the parking lot at Pelican’s.
Toy Soldiers x 10 IC
Gravel Pickers x 10 IC
Windmill x 5 IC
Stretches
BEATDOWN #1
We headed for a run toward the entrance to Martha Rivers Park. At the entrance there are five light poles, which we stacked the exercise. Of course I called burpees.
- Lightpole 1: 5 burpees
- Lightpole 2: 5 burpees, 10 merkins
- Lightpole 3: 5 burpees, 10 merkins, 15 squats
- Lightpole 4: 5 burpees, 10 merkins, 15 squats, 20 mountain climbers (count one side)
- Lightpole 5: 5 burpees, 10 merkins, 15 squats, 20 mountain climbers (count one side), 25 SSH
BEATDOWN #2
Next we took a stroll around the Martha Rivers Parking Lot and ended up near the baseball diamond. There are four entrances, and somehow I missed one looking back at my Strava. So at each entrance to the diamond we would run and perform an ab exercise.
- First entrance: 20 Flutter Kicks (IC)
- Second entrance: 20 American Hammers (IC)
- Third entrance: 10 Parker Peter (IC) and 10 Plank Jacks (IC)
BEATDOWN #3
We then headed toward the picnic shelter for some chest work.
- Round 1: 10 dips (IC), 10 incline merkins, and 10 decline merkins
- Round 2: 15 dips (IC), 15 incline merkins, and 15 decline merkins
FINAL BEATDOWN:
We left Martha Rivers Park and headed toward Riverwood Parkway for sprints at the light poles and an exercise at the starting point.
- First lightpole: Crunchy Frogs x 20
- Second lightpole: LBC’s x 20
- Third lightpole: Mike Tyson’s x 20
- Fourth lightpole: Oblique crunches
