Q: JD

Eleven men gathered in the cold and gloom to push themselves to get stronger.  Since the World Series is in full swing, we “ran” the bases and at each base we performed the exercises. Here’s how the fun went down:

THE THANG:

Home Plate:

30 Merkins

30 Jump Squats

30 LBCs

10 Burbees  – run to 1st

1st Base:

30 Air Presses

30 American Hammers (L/R=1)

30 Mt. Climbers

10 Burpees – run to 2nd

2nd Base:

30 Flutterkicks (L/R=1)

30 Squats

30 Shoulder Taps (L/R=1)

10 Burpees – run to 3rd

3rd Base:

30 Apollo Ohnos

30 Plank Jacks

30 Box Cutters

10 Burpees

MARY: People’s MARY

The W:  Othello

Modified Squirm:   Constitution

Dying Cockroach:  Uncle Floyd

Low Flutter:  Ace

 

You know when you have a tough workout when Othello tells you not to resurrect it again! This was a workout I “liberated” from Gamma, and I trust it was worth your time to come out in less than ideal conditions.  I tied the workout in with the World Series and threw in some World Series trivia to boot.  Exit knew many of the answers to the trivia questions. His baseball knowledge is incredible.  The rain did hold off for the most part until the repeat of home plate, at which point we took shelter under the portico. We could have stayed out in the elements, but then we would have missed welcoming all the fine educators coming into work.  Thanks for playing along and I hope you feel the burn.

Excellent work by all. It was good to see the new, young faces in the crowd. It is official, two new PAX member got their F3 names this morning.  Welcome to Belfort and Wilson!

Prayers for Lily, Christian, Katerina, Shelly, Todd and for those unspoken PAX members who are going through some challenging times.
