Trying to do my part for the Q sheet, pulled out a former workout and put a few twists on it, figured it would be well received.  5:30 on the clock, let’s just prove it.

MASH, Kojak, Sir Topham Hatt, and Ticonderoga were all trying hard to contain their excitement as I glanced around the small circle.  It was apparent that Covid and cold and the infamous Blue Pill were wreaking havoc on our group BUT these 4 dudes showed up to join me so off we went.

Mosey around the parking lot

Stop for

• SSH x10 IC
• Karens x10 IC (Sir Topham’s name for SSH w/ no jumping, just arm raises/claps as if to say you know what)
• Seal claps x10 IC
• IST x10 IC
• Penny pickers x10 IC

Mosey to the courtyard for the routine, different exercise at each of 12 diamonds

• D1- lap around courtyard
• D2- WWII
• D3- CDD
• D4- IST (each leg)
• D5- Mountain climber (each leg)
• D6- Lunge (each leg)
• D7- Hand release merkins
• D8- Table tops (each leg)
• D9- Plank jacks
• D10- Staggered merkins
• D11- Jump squats
• D12- Low flutter (each leg)

After taking a lap, move to D2, do 10 reps, then go to the center of the courtyard and do 1 burpee, then move to D3, and repeat this cycle of reps and burpees until you get to D12.  Pickup the 6.

Mosey to the tennis courts

• 5 pullups, 10 dips or step-ups
• 4 pullups, 10 dips or step-ups
• 3 pullups, 10 dips or step-ups
• 2 pullups, 10 dips or step-ups
• 2 pullups, 10 dips or step-ups; YHC made a comment about we’d do 2 pullups, not 1, because Pharaoh says no need to do just 1 of anything

Mosey back to the courtyard for another round of Diamonds.  This time, do 2 burpees at the center between each exercises.

Mosey to the parking lot for suicides

• Run to the first line, 1 merkin, back to the start, 1 merkin
• Go to the second line, 1 merkin, back to the start, 1 merkin
• Go to the third line, 1 merkin, back to the start, 1 merkin
• Go to the fourth line, 1 merkin, back to the start, 1 merkin
• Go to the fifth line, 1 merkin, back to the start, 1 merkin

Kojak astutely remembered that comment about not doing 1 of anything, so he yelled out ‘Pharaoh wouldn’t approve of just doing 1 merkin’.  YHC made the call to keep going, Pharaoh would just have to be disappointed.  Sorry

• Circle up for Mary
• Low dolly x10 IC
• Pretzel crunch x10 IC
• WWII x10 OYO
• Box cutters x10 IC
• Heels to heaven x10 OYO
• Superman pulses
• Crunch frog x10 IC
• Mason twists x10 IC
• Squirm x10 IC (just because this workout was not Pharaoh approved)

Prayers/Praises/Announcements

• Covid concerns for multiple PAX
• Stress involved with Covid, work, schools, etc.
• Unspoken requests that were not mentioned (no doubt we all have something)

Pray it out, peace out homeys

 

Thanks for showing up today guys.  5 strong is better than 4 strong.  Never a problem with accountability in this group, always good to know someone will show up to help you through the SUCK of a cold 530a start.  Can be the same for whatever we face in life- be that someone who will show up to help a brother get through it!
