4 men showed up strong for a fun Roll of the Dice workout. Ridge Road Middle School staff found it amusing to see dice with a workout… go figure. After a brief disclaimer, we got after it like this:

12 IST
12 Windmills
12 Hillbillies
12 Penny Pickers
10 Merkins

The Thang
6 Dice: 1 determines the exercise from the list below, and the remaining 5 add up for the count.

1. Burpees
2. Merkins
3. Dips
4. Squats
5. Mountain Climbers
6. LBCs

YHC was very surprised to see how often 3 and 5 were rolled, along with the count 13 and 14. Occasionally we would have a 20 or 21 count, which after 5-6 sets, became very difficult. Then someone had to roll a 1… and of course the count was 15! UHG! After that, an audible was made to only use 2 die if a 1 was rolled. Also, all exercises were “modify as needed” if the rep count was too much.

Round Robin with each PAX calling out an exercise:
Snowsuit: dying cockroach, pretzel crunch
Schoolbus: low dolly, reverse crunch?
ONJ: W, LBC
Sparky: twisted LBC, something

We prayed for the schools opening back up, for the Afghan people, and that we would be High Impact MEN.

– we decided to have two separate lists of exercises, to switch at the half-way point. This would make sure we were working different muscle groups… good call!
– 15 burpees was a killer for sure, but the other 5, 7 and 9 counts were even worse as we were spent!
– YHC was surprised at how often 3’s were rolled… Dips. Some were high count but none were under 13 TMK.
– Thanks to Schoolbus for trying to mix things up and switch out exercises.
– Thanks to ONJ for the creative counting
– Sparky really liked the Dips so much he did them instead of LBCs… animal!

Good work men… it was my pleasure to Q for you men today!
