6 PAX pushed their way out of the fart sack on a cold Monday morning to help celebrate my belated 41st birthday.

At 0531 after Ticonderoga retrieved his token (Cinder block) we made out way to the ticket booth to start our workout.

Warm-up: 
Side Straddle hops X 20 (meant to stop at 15, but the pressure of my first individual Q got to me and I forgot to stop counting.  All good).  Penny Pickers X 10 and then arm circles to the front and rear to get the upper body loose.

Since it was my 41st birthday that I missed, the repetition count for the workout was 41.

Overhead press X 41
Sumo Squat X 41
Atomic Crunch X 14 (41 at one time seemed to much so we split these up in 3 sets)

Farmers Carry around the Island and back.  Instruction was to do Merkins until everyone was back but since we all got back at the same time, we all did 10 Merkins before moving on. On to round 2.

Chest Press X 41
Kettlebell Swings X 21 (again 41 seemed like a lot at once for these, so broke them up into 2 sets.  Didn’t want Ticonderoga yelling at me on the drive home about his back!)
Atomic Crunch X 14

Another Farmers Carry around the Island and back.  This time plank until everyone gets back.  Love boat beat us back so he became the timer for our 1 minute of planks. Round 3.

Thrusters X 41 (break them up in this set however you want!)
Kettlebell Swings X 20 (to finish the 21 from last set)
Atomic Crunch X 13 (to finish the 14, 14 and hit 41 total)

Another Farmer’s Carry…… Side straddle hops until everyone got back on this one.  Loveboat and Honey Do took the lead on this one.  On to Round 4.

Tricep Extensions X 41
Figure 8’s X 41 (Love Boat had to gently remind me that each time through each leg was not a repetition.  I was doing Figure O’s I guess.  I corrected myself and did 41 more half reps.)
Curls X 41

Last Farmer’s Carry of the day.  Last set.

Chest Press X 41
Sumo Squat X 41
Kettlebell Swings X 41
Atomic Crunches X 41

All exercise broken up however you saw fit to get to the final number of 41.

Had a minute left so we went back to Merkins.  I thought 20 was a good number.  Love Boat and Honey Do thought 31 was better since we did 10 earlier, so we could hit the magic number of 41.  Thank you gentlemen.

Mary –

Pretzel Crunches X 10 from me and passed it on.  Forgot what the rest of the group’s exercises were when SS Minnow had us do J Lo’s?  I mentioned that my hips don’t lie and then realized that was Shakira.  No problem.  Still got the effect.

Thank you guys for helping me remember that I’m getting old once again!  At this age one birthday a year is enough!

Prayers and congratulations for Love Boat as he celebrates his second wedding anniversary and closes on their house today!!!
