August 8th, 2019 By Othello

Time for something a little different folks. YHC dusted off his files and found an oldie but goodie from his Harrisburg days.  Copied almost directly from the P90X videos, I put together a core routine that is guaranteed to make you sweat but thank your abs at the same time.  The routine was so good, both Pax in attendance said, “Othello, that routine could be used as a regular beatdown!”  Hmmm, good idea, thanks boys (#planninginprogress)

It went something like this…

THE THANG (1min ea exercise, flapjack where needed)-Concentrate on your core the whole time, imagine your belly button touching your spine!!  Good form is better than lots of repetitions.
Stacked hand/feet merkins
360 Banana Rolls
Leaning Crescent Lunges
Sphinx Merkins
Bow to Boat
Lunge stretch
Low Lateral Skaters
Lunge and Reach (pick-up/put on the shelf L/R)
Prison Cell Merkin
Side hip raise
Plank/Mountain Climbers/Chaturanga run
Walking Merkins
Towel Hopping
The Halfback – 4 count “Tire Jump”, 8 Count backward high knees
Backward roll to standing position

1. Strong work Toughskins, I like the idea of bringing this to a weekly beatdown (i.e. Piledriver).  I’ll consider it.  Also, no, I will not hold a “Jimmies” Q (unless it is a Friday) and your financial advisor never said you needed to stop “spending” money, I think he said you need to “get busy and make more money.”  😉
2.  Silas, strong work by you too but I have to ask, were you doing banana rolls or imitating a fish out of water? LOL.
3.  An honor to lead, thanks for posting, tell your friends #smartestworkoutoftheweek.
