It was a perfect Spring Saturday. Warm enough for shorts, but not too hot. Dry, birds chirping, and a quiet park. 6 guys embarked on a one hour quest to find fitness, searching at the local middle school football field. Was it found? Well, maybe.
Warm-up:
15 x SSH, IST, Dwight Schrute, Mericans.
The Thang(s):
We started with a lap of the football field, followed by a WIB — 5 sets of the following, with a lap of the field after each set:
– 50 LBC
– 40 Squats
– 30 Dips
– 20 Mericans
– 10 WW2's
This took about 30 minutes. So we stretched a little, led by Moses. Chest, Back, Legs, etc.
Mosey to steps:
For all except Bagboy (he revolted and did other stuff):
– Run steps to top, single steps, 5 squat jumps at the top, walk back down
– Left leg hops to top, same, same
– Right leg hops to top, same, same
– Double leg hops to top, same, same
– Run to top, 2 stairs at a time, same, same
Grab rocks. We did bent over rows, dead lifts, low curl, high curl, full curl, shoulder press, eye busters, and chest press (low flutter optional)
10 counts and Al Gore existed in the above as well, sprinkled throughout.
Mosey back to field for:
10 burpees
Hippie's stretch routine (Suzanne Somers, J-Lo)
Mary:
Low Dolly, Pillow Talk, Low W. Maybe something else.
Mosey back to launch
Moleskine:
– Bagboy took us out, but threatened not to after Jersey Boy stole his announcement on the Water workout next Saturday, but it turns out didn't know any more than Bagboy 🙂
– Hippie led the best J-Lo in history. On the super soft turf. It was like doing the J-Lo on a cloud. Or something else – I may or may not recall.
– The WIB was a good workout in itself, and then we basically did another workout. Good work by all.
– Soprano grabbed an Uncle Rico size rock this morning. I tried to slow down my count, but know I didn't always succeed. Good effort!
– Good conversation this morning, jokes abound, and most made it to Birkdale for coffee.
– Moses had the good fortune of time, and post-coffee stood he in line at the pie shop to get free tiny pies for a year.
– Pleasure to lead this group (and on a Saturday at BRP, no less) – they have allo led and led well, so it's a lot to measure up to. Hope I was worthy.
