A workout specifically tailored for…everyone
QIC: Whirly
Date: 07/28/18
Pax: Fingers, Whirly, Ice Dancer, Zima
Before I get to the workout details, let me just say that this BB is dedicated to:
1. Pax who are willing to volunteer to Q and look to the BBs for ideas;
2. Pax who are willing to Q and need (at least one) an idea of a plan that can let the fasties and pokers each reach their own limits while keeping the pax somewhat together for the whole workout;
3. Ice Dancer;
4. Toto
Basically, we ran for a predetermined amount of time (some intervals 1:00 and some intervals 2:00), then I blew my whistle and the fasties turned around and came back to the six until everyone was together again. After each interval we did a round of exercises (some in cadence, some OYO) as follows:
Run interval, then:
Copperhead squats
Hand release merkins
Freddie Mercuries
Run interval, then:
Arm circles
Tuck jumps
Low flutters
Run interval, then:
Seal claps
Jump squats
Gas pumps
Run interval, then:
Overhead claps
Lunges
Mutton crunches (both sides)
Run interval, then:
Jack reachers
Apollo Onos (ice skater thingies)
Box cutters
Run interval, then:
Partner-assisted dirkins
Standing leg extensions (hold one leg at 90 degrees, then lift foot to straight out position)
Heels to heaven
Run interval, then:
Partner-assisted irkins
Calf raises
Penguin crunches
Merkins
Sideway soldier (standing, extend one leg out away from body to as high as possible)
Low dolly
Back at the parking lot:
Ice Dancer and Zima did 10 burpees while waiting for YHC and Fingers
10 burpees in cadence (a regular burpee minus the merkin)

Announcements:
Honestly, I can remember
NMM:
I came up with this idea as an effort to let the fasties let loose/push themselves to the max while simultaneously allowing the pokers to try to keep the fasties within sight and keep everyone together. In all humility, I think this format is a good format for getting in some running (more distance for some than others) and some strength/boot camp work. You run a little, then do a round of lower body exercies, upper body exercies and core exercies. Anybody can Q this workout. I came up with the exercies in advance (I usually just wing it), but you can nominate pax to give you a round of exercies after each interval. #easypeasy
Zima really liked the girly looking leg exercies (one leg extension and sideway soldier). I also think the girls in the parking lot that were watching the sideway soldiers liked it as well. #promoteFIA
I don’t really remember much else.

YHC took us out.
Sorry for the delay.

Ice Dancer, Van Gogh and anybody else on the ball busting brigade for the tardy BBs, feel free to comment- it makes me feel like taking the time to do a BB is worth it
Ice Dancer
Nice Q, Whirly. Maybe you should tell @SourMash about it for when he launches his new AO on Saturdays in Clemmons from Tanglewood.
Favorite motivational quote of the workout came from @Zima. ” Dude, come on Ice Dancer, you’re not that out of shape”. Eh…. that’s debatable but, thank you for the encouragement. Message received!

Really like the concept, Whirly. Nice innovation there.
Fingers
Thanks for the leadership, @Whirly! Great workout and perfect concept for #DawgPound to ensure “togetherness”. Thanks for stepping up to Q!
