Tabata and body art at Arnie’s Army

Event Date

Jul 13, 2020


A quick recap of what roughly went down at Arnie's Army today:

0503:  A 2.21 mile run standard with Hoodie, Turncoat, and YHC.  They were both kind enough to accomodate my 5 minutes of running / 1 minute of walking rehab plan.  We also saw Tagless on a different route.

0530: 

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • Mosey twice around the parking lot, including high knees, butt kickers, Quadraphilia, and some side shuffles.
  • Grab 2 blocks for use later
  • Circle up, disclaimer given
  • Calf raises x 10 OYO on blocks (included were 1-2 audibles already, not off to a great start!)
  • Mericans x 10 IC

The "Hockey Shift" thing:

This was a Tabata style workout, with 90 seconds of AMRAP work to simulate a shift on the ice; followed by 90 seconds of rest.

Exercises included:  (in roughly this order)

  • Lunge jumps on the benches
  • Backward steps (simulating backwards skating) / sprint forward
  • Mericans
  • WWII situps
  • Trunk twists with blocks
  • Sprint uphill, jog downhill
  • Shadow boxing
  • Front shoulder presses
  • Squat jumps
  • Slow deep squats
  • Mountain climbers
  • Muhammed Ali's on the curb

Those were the 12 sets.  In between sets we totally rested as per Tabata rules.

Mary:

  • 90 second elbow plank.

Recover, recover.  According to Strava, we covered 0.92 miles.

The "Body Art" Moleskin:

  1. One of the Pax told a story which involved paintings, boobs, and painting with boobs.  YHC will leave it to the reader to guess who.
  2. Tuffy invented a clever way to do squats.
  3. Roadie worked out recently with the Myrtle Beach crew and almost convinced Jazz Hands to do the same.
  4. The Tabata app had a hockey horn sound at each 45 second mark.  A nice touch.  Probably why it had many 4 star or 5 star ratings, whichever is the highest.
  5. YHC is forgetting some great mumblechatter already and / or Toxic dominated the mumblechatter category as usual.
  6. Appreciate the coffee afterwards with Hoodie and Turncoat.  Appreciate the opportunity to lead TC!
  7. Look out for details on the F3 10 Year Anniversary gathering.  There is a Twitter handle you can follow: @f310year

It is always a pleasure to lace them up with the men of F3.  Appreciate you gents.
