Introduction
0.0 ahead due to the Anvil on Monday and Sloppy’s Most Excellent Adventure on Tuesday. Most of us need a leg break day.
Warm-O-Rama
Mosey (at your own pace – a 0.0 was promised, so walk, stroll or roll as desired) a few parking spots down the lane for some:
Weed Pickers (11)
Lunge Reach (5 each side)
Arm Circles (Front, Back, Pretzels) 10 each
Imperial Squat Walkers (10)
Back to the starting point fo’ tha Thang…
The Thang
YHC passed out 25 strips of paper with a different exercise listed on each one and a number on it.
Gadget pulled #1 – Merkins. PAX performed as many merkins as possible until Gadget performed 25 merkins. YHC challenged the PAX to race to 25 and try to get there before the HIM in charge of the exercise called Halt.
Exercise list:
1 Merkins
2 Squats
3 BBSU
4 Right Side Lunge
5 Bird Dog
6 Hurpees
7 Left Side Lunge
8 Elevated Shoulder Taps (L+R=1 rep)
9 Reverse Mountain Climbers (L+R = 1 rep)
10 Left Glute Bridge
11 Australian Snow Angel
12 Right Glute Bridge
13 Push Up Jacks
14 Calf Raises
15 Left Knee Smash / Power Knee
16 Right Reverse/Step Back Lunge
17 Makhtar N’Diayes / Plank Ups
18 Bear Walk Outs
19 Tuck Jumps
20 Left Reverse/Step Back Lunge
21 Fall Down Pushups
22 Right Knee Smash / Power Knee
23 Groiner / Double Mountain Climbers
24 Tricep extensions
25 Crab Kicks (L+R=1 rep)
Some of the exercises disappeared before being performed – both glute bridges were either blown away by the wind or quickly eaten by the PAX while YHC was face down doing some Merkins.
It was nice to see some of these exercises again – fall down pushups, bear walk outs, tuck jumps, bird dogs and a few others have been missing from the beat downs lately.
It was good to see One Ply modify as needed and head to the bathroom for his own version of squats. However, while he was away losing weight, Wheels caught Hurpees from One Ply’s pink towel. While the rest of us will be scratching from Sloppy’s Most Excellent Adventure on Tuesday, Wheels might be scratching for other reasons. The good news is that One Ply made it back in time for the Australian Snow Angels which we now know is his favorite exercise and somehow is linked to his affinity for big women.
Circle of Trust
Gadget caught Lieutenant Dan syndrome and his legs don’t work.
Naked Man Moleskin
This morning, we were all at the mercy and timing of whoever was responsible for the 25 reps of their individual exercise based on the cards that were drawn. We had to push through our own personal rep count until they were done. No matter where we are or what we are doing, it will effect someone else. Whether at work, at home, in the gloom, someone is watching, learning, picking up on our attitude, our comments, our work ethic. Someone is depending on us, someone is judging us. Make sure we are keeping the character that we want to be known for. Make sure that we are focused on the right things. Make sure that we are doing the best we can. Because someone else’s future is dependent on what we are doing at all times.
