3 faithful pax congregated at North Meck Park to look at some stars and do some exercises along the way. Since we have unofficially renamed Viking Planetarium, I think Q's are trying to work in some horizontal exercises to make sure we get a chance to count the stars and constellations. Here's what we did today:
Warm-up jog around the lower parking lot at NMP, followed by SSH, Toy Soldier, Long Snapper, and IST, 15 IC. Mericans x10, squats x15, 1 burpee.
Mosey to picnic area. The rest of the workout was all 15, 10, 5 reps in cadence and often with a burpee between rounds. At the benches we did step-ups, incline Mericans, dips (no burpees).
Mosey to tennis courts. ~90 seconds of Jerry Jeff Walker (wall sits) with some air curls.
Mosey to rock pile to grab a medium-large rock and back to the tennis court lot for 3 rounds.
Round 1 – chest press, skull crushers, W with rock
Round 2 – Curls, overhead press, legs slightly bent straight leg dead lift
Round 3 – LBC w Rock, Double leg raise, pretzel crunch
Mosey back to start, recover recover.
Moleskine:
– Canuck took us out with a nice prayer.
– Speaking of Canuck, he wanted to pay tribute to Jerry Jeff Walker, since he passed this week. So we did a wall sit, henceforth named the JJW, correlated to his song lyrics.
– We almost got steamrolled by the parks worker opening up the tennis court area. he was coming in hot!
– Venus was visible today. Canuck pointed it out, and YHC confirmed with the app while we moseyed back to base.
– Pointing out stars is a good way to get a little extra rest between sets. Next week I will be prepared with some obscure constellation to identify for the group. Should buy us a couple minutes.
– Stapler wants to drop a few pounds to get down to fighting weight. Don't talk to him about cake.
