Three of MIL's finest made it out for the divergence option offered at Cobalt. 

Warm-o-Rama

Gentleman start your engines…..while you are back in your car and drive over to the front playground. This would turn out to be the best decision of the day.  Hopefully we did not strand any latecomers who came to the Cobalt parking lot

Once at the park, go onto soccer field for High knees, karaoke * 2, butt kicks, SSH, cotton cherry pickers, windmill and a deep stretch

The Thang

Round one

Go to soccer field. Each set has four exercises in total. Do one exercise for the stated count (starting at 10) and run 50 yards to other side of field for next exercise at the same count. Repeato for another two exercises at same count. Next round goes to 9 and so on. On sets with an odd number, run backwards 50 yards between the exercises. 

 Sets 10, 9, 8, 7 and 6

  • Mercans, squats, CDD, LBC's

Sets 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1

  • Down/ups, mountain climbers, burpees, jump lunges 

Round two

  • Bear crawl from the middle of field over hump on side of field and down the hump. Once near sidewalk, do 10 single count decline mercans then 10 single count incline mercans
  • 1st set bear crawl was 20 yards, 2nd set was 25 yards, last set was 30 yards 

Mary

  • Freddie mercury / bicycles
  • Low dolly 
  • Can-opener
  • Box cutter
  • Flat leg crunch with hold
  • Bridge (aka butt kegles, aka jail rape preventers [exit only])
  • ?More deep stretching

Moleskine

  • Anchor Balls Deep was the name of a fictional rock band in high school. In literary terms, this may be a triple entendre. 
  • Goal of keeping moving during workout in order to stay warm was fully accomplished 
  • The bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain…
  • Down/ups are an exercise where you start on your back (down) then roll your body forward to stand up (up) without using your hands. If you use a cross-legged approach to help propel yourself up, there is the potential for a nut cracker / scissor hold effect on ones gonads 
  • Low dolly is really not the same as low flutter (Natty finally figured that one out about half way thru)
  • Bear crawl induced dizziness may be similar to carbon monoxide poisoning 
  • Jogging back to parking lot after all that would have really, really sucked. It may have taken most of the year for this next statement, but Oktoberfest really had a good idea there
  • Great work men!
