How’s your PMA? Enthusiastic 8’s on a Muggy Morning

All Harrisburg Backblasts

October 10th, 2017 By Helga

Imitation is the highest form of flattery. YHC copied @Clump & @Gapper’s Crazy 8 workout at the Railyard and mixed in some motivational “coach-speak”  thinking with PMA, which stands for Positive Mental Attitude. Although on this muggy morning, PMA meant Plank Jacks, Merkins, and Air Squats. Oh, and in case YHC forgets, a bunch of Burpees as well. 14 men from Harrisburg took part in an enthusiastic beatdown around the HRHS parking lot. Here’s how it went:

Mosey around the parking lot

SSH x20

The Thang  — Enthusiastic  8’s

Mosey to the middle of the parking lot – run as many figure 8’s (around the full parking lot) as possible within a 30 minute time period – doing 8 reps at each station, here’s what the Enthusiastic 8 stations looked like:

Merkins

 

Plank Jacks    [                                   ]    Air Squats

  1. Always an honor to lead!

  2. Solid lead @Helga… and a message on point! We all have 100% control of the attitude we bring to every situation. A lot of times, it’s the difference maker.

    Man, it was swampy out there this morning…

    1. Thanks @Clueless – agreed with attitude being a difference maker. And swampy is a good description for today’s humidity.

  3. Brutal. Thanks for taking the lead.

    Thanks to @Ito for the law lesson. Can’t learn enough about getting out of a ticket.

    @Banjo traded his PMA for PMS. He didn’t stop complaining once.

    Keep pushing,

    1. Thanks @SoloCup. It was good to see @Ito out there this morning — funny to read about @Banjo.
