It was a lovely, BRISK morning on which a dedicated PAX of 26 reminded each other that the First F doesn’t stand for “fart sack” ….  And so we promptly began with a short mosey to the gate for…

WARM O RAMA:

  • SSH x25
  • Windmill x15
  • Smurf Jacks x20
  • Moroccan Night Club x20 each
  • Imperial Walker / Hillbillies x20 each
  • #Broga – Upward Dog/ Downward Dog / Carolina Dry Docks x10

THE THANG:

YHC had a trunk load of 20-30# medicine balls, each with a METL (look it up) which had the pleasure of joining us through rest of the day’s workout….  Here’s how it went down:

The PAX “paired off in 3’s” – one #BabyBall to each group and a stern warning was issued that Baby couldn’t touch the ground during the drill.  Penalty TBD…

PAX proceeded to mosey at fellowship pace around the lakes for a progressive beatdown while protecting their #BabyBall:

  1. Deer Statues: Bodybuilders x10, Copperhead Squats w/Ball x10 – “creative” plank or Al Gore with Baby until 6 completed
  2. Playground Lot: Carolina Dry Docks x20, Lieutenant Dans w/Ball x20 – Plank or Al Gore w/Baby
  3. Far Corner of Lake: Crab Cakes x20, WWII Sit-Up x20.
  4. War Memorial: Dips x30, Derkins x30, Plank or Wall-Sit w/Baby-In-Lap until 6 completed
  5. Finish the Loop: OYO 150 Merkins & 150 Freddie Mercuries per group, carrying ball back. #mumblechatter.
  6. Wookie (Tommy Boy’s 2.0) dropped his #BabyBall just before exiting the park resulting in a 5 Burpee Penalty for the PAX (#BadParenting)

FINALE / 6MOM = Who wants to do more burpees and run some???

  • Burpee Ballpass Circle in style of Big Mitt (1,2,3 merkin burpees) x 3-4 minutes
  • Indian Run toward Shovel Flag w/ Jail Break just in case anyone was holding something back!
  • American Hammer to finish the job!  Thanks Stage Fright and Daphne
