YHC honored to be paired to Co-Q Hollywood with a fellow Maryland Terrapin. Tammy Faye moved down here from our Nation’s Capital suburb just a few years ago and has been making huge waves among the ‘Tope PAX community by his inspired and consistent training, MQ leadership at Arnie’s and most recently accepting a leadership position as 3rd F MQ on the SLT. Been fun getting to know TF over coffee where we shared our joys of empty nesting, crossing paths at workouts and church, and especially grateful for him pushing me through a few 4-banger runs when the going was tough.
YHC’s offering was a Maryland Terrapin themed workout involving 16 reps for all exercises called (either 16 single count, or 8 IC) with 4 exercises at each stop along the way. The numbers chosen were to give significance to the Terps Sweet 16 appearance as a number 4 seed. PAX stopped 5 times along the way to the Movie Theatre, including stops in front of the Apple Store, base of parking deck ramp, top of parking deck ramp, and finally along the side of Birkdale Theatre. YHC tried to offer a variety of upper and lower body exercises before handing over the reigns to Tammy Faye.
Tammy Faye’s offering this AM at Hollywood was a masterfully planned tour of Birkdale Village that took us in front of various storefronts, with a themed-type exercise at each stop. Brilliant!
TF’s beatdown began directly in front of Brixx where he cleverly parked his full sized pickup ahead of time, complete with a cargo area full of cinder blocks! And so the fun or (pain for a lot of us) began, stopping along the way at the following points (surely missing a few details here):
- Brixx (bricks) work began using cinder blocks where a healthy dosage of curls, presses, skull crushers, and BROWs(Bent-over rows) were administered
- Ice Cream stand – don’t get soft? exercises were called. Quite honestly can’t remember but it was very witty indeed
- Somewhere in here we did dips on chairs but I’m drawing a blank 🙂
- Restaurant stop (name I don’t recall) where TF associated the type of food with Bulgarian split squats, good one!
- Somewhere near this stop (either before or after) we celebrated the lululemon store by making a mockery out of their ridiculously expensive form fitting clothing that Cubicle gets at a discount since he used to work there. Butt Kickers and High Knees were offered here.
- We did our customary monkey humpers in front of our favorite lingerie shop and we’re all on their security camera now.
- Tammy Faye then led us over in front of Midwood Smokehouse where we got “smoked” further.
After passing the starting point, we paused and Tammy Faye called for an all out sprint to the end.
YHC humbly accepts moving to the next round while giving huge kudos to Tammy Faye for a solid butt kicking good time and a much respected Co-Q! Sure we’ll both be pulling for the Terps on Thursday night!
Thanks to each of you that chose Hollywood this morning and thanks to Soprano for his leadership at this epic AO!
Humbly in Christ,
Possum
