Tuesday, June 20th, 2023 – Hickory Ridge High School (aka The Ridge)
Eight of Harrisburg’s most active were not daunted enough by the overnight torrential rain storms nor the resulting humidity to skip posting to The Ridge this morning for a good old fashioned bootcamp beatdown. The below is how it went.
Warm-O-Rama:
Mosey around the parking lot with butt kickers, high knees, karaoke left and karaoke right. Circle up, disclaimer and then:
- Side Straddle Hop x10
- Imperial Stormtrooper x10
- Hillbilly x10
- Abe Vigoda’s (Slow Windmill) x10
- Penny Pickers x10
- Mountain Climbers x10
- Arm circles front and back then Michael Phelps
The Thang:
With the high percentage of precipitation called for then YHC chose a portico partnership effort for this morning’s workout. Everyone paired up and collaborated with one running the dropoff circle while the other did the following exercises in the shelter getting as many reps in as possible before the other returned to swap out.
- Merkins x100
- Donkey Kicks x100
- WWII’s x100
- Jump Squats x150
- Plank Jacks x150
- Bobby Hurleys x150 (“These aren’t anything like squats” -Tbone)

- Reverse Lunges until 6:10
Mary:
Mosey back to the entrance to the football field and then:

Moleskin:
#TClaps to Birdcage, Wexler and Tbone and any other PAX that YHC didn’t see for the prerun
Thank you for all for the opportunity to lead and for the motivation to get out of bed this morning. And especially to Bonvoy who picked up my slack during the Portico Partner section of this morning’s workout.
AT RR Coffee Co a wealth of wisdom was shared. What kind of bike to NOT use for a Triathlon, high protein low carb diets and their fun side effects, how to interest your wife in college baseball on TV, motivational techniques used by fitness instructors, in depth discussion of alcoholic beverages from spiked Kombucha to Utah ABV allowances, etc. #ShowToKnow
