Best way to show up for a rainy dreary beat down is commit to Q.  So thankful that Mullet and Tumbler didn’t get the memo that the workout had been canceled due to the weather forecast.  For all those that thought about showing up but didn’t, I get it- weather sucked and you’ll get the next one and life got in the way, etc.  For YHC, couldn’t miss another one as I’ve gotten use to a single beat down per week. Everything else about my lifestyle has remained the same so I can’t skip this outlet for mental health and physical health and guy time, no matter the forecast.

 

And really, it wasn’t THAT bad…

 

7a on the clock, mosey to the shelter for warmups and a very brief disclaimer.  The intent was to stay out of the misty funk as much as possible.

• SSH x15 IC
• Arm circles forward and back with some back slaps
• Grandpa Jacks x10 IC
• Hillbillies x15 IC

Stayed under the shelter for the routine.  11 exercises in a rotation, 4 rounds total.  Start each round with a Burpee * whatever round number you are on (1,2,3 or 4).

All exercises each round done for the same rep count starting with 5, then 10, 15, 20.

• WWII
• CDD
• IST, each leg
• Mountain  climbers, each leg
• Lunge, each leg
• Hand release merkins
• Table tops, each leg
• Plank jacks
• Staggered merkins
• Jump squats
• Low flutters, each leg

Mosey to the other pavilion at the other side of the athletic fields.  Same deal but starting at 15 reps, then 10 and 5, with new exercises.  Another Burpee * round number for start of each round.

• LBC
• Incline merkins
• Hillbillies, each side
• Superman pulses
• Backward lunges, each leg
• Hand release merkins
• Dying cockroach, each leg
• Plank jacks
• Wide arm merkins
• Bobby Hurleys
• Low dolly

Mosey back to the original shelter for Mary

• American hammers x15 IC
• Crunch frog x15 IC
• RBC x15 IC
• stretch time

Recover recover

Count off, name round, prayers up. Amen

Truth is I probably would have stayed in bed vs show up had I not signed up to Q the day before.  Easy to develop a mindset of just not wanting to do certain things after the shine has faded.  But as Yellowcake said one time, sometimes we show up for the medicine and sometimes we show up to BE the medicine.  I got my medicine from Mullet and Tumbler showing up so thanks.  Physical health is great but the mental is as well, and personally I just need a release, an outlet.  The physical workout is good, the coffee chats are better, so now off to start the day.  Thanks for letting me talk about what I needed.  You can write your own message when you decide to Q.

Peace out homeys!
