16 pax gathered at 0530 on a holiday Monday for The Iron Thrones first Phoenix workout.  The Phoenix is designed to be repeated once a month for 3 months to see how hard you can push yourself to get in more reps or laps with each attempt.  I advertised this workout with caution and emphasized that it would not be fun.  But the Dash pax showed up to see what 2 new exercises would be done and to give the Phoenix a try.  0530 – mission statement.

Warm o rama – SSH x20 IC, IW x 15 IC, Abe V x 10 IC.  time to get started – intro 2 new exercises

Hump Jumps – 5 monkey humpers with a squat jump on the 5th – each jump equals one rep

Crabettes – imagine the Rockettes meet the crab walk – crab with one leg extended in the air,  switch legs and continue.

Mosey to playground…..omaha to field due to number of pax.

these pax got after it this morning!  all pushed hard.

i heard one “F the murder bunnies” comment.

the murder bunny to burpee to hump jumps were terrible.  just terrible.

great to see Bluto and interference out there

music was provided, no complaints

salmonella was visiting and was encouraging from the start

Turnover did not remove his sweatshirt – mission failed

van gogh did remove his sweatshirt – mission accomplished

Greenspan loved the workout, wanted to do it again

add any other comments – yhc lost hearing on round 4 due to lack of oxygen

I left one set of keys in the teachers lot and kept the other – since the phoenix will rise again next month!
