It Looked Better on Paper

It Looked Better on Paper

QIC: Spamalot

Date: 06/14/21

PAX: Giles, Wobegon, Burns (WB), Boomerang, Palin, Greenacres (WD), Crash, Workbench, Huckleberry, Spamalot (QIC)

Sometimes a plan comes together for a Q.  Other times, not so much.  Not sure what the Pax thought of this morning, but YHC felt it missed by a little.

Trying out some new ideas was the main point of today’s workout.  Armed with a playlist of artists that YHC has seen in concert as opening acts.  Suffice to say the younger set of Pax had little to no clue.

Mission Statement and Five Core Principles were stated.

Time to go!

Warm o Rama

Starting with YHC – perform 30 jump rope skips while the rest of the Pax perform a called exercise.  Then pass the rope to next Pax.  Continue this pattern until all 10 Pax have jumped rope.

Non-jump rope exercises included:  SSH, IST, Hillbillies, Squats, Arm swirly things forward, Arm swirly things reverse, merkins, Whirly has the Clap, seal claps, seal jacks.

Head to wall in middle of school.  Assume people’s chair position.,

Beginning with YHC, perform 15 reps of curls with set of 15 pound dumbbells.  Pass to next Pax.  Continue pattern until all Pax have performed curls.

Recover

Back to people’s chair – same as before, except over head presses x 15.

Recover.

Back to parking lot.

One Pax grabs the 15 pound dumbbells.  Perform squat thrusters while the other pax perform 5 reps of called exercise.  Then run halfway down driveway to orange cone and perform 5 more reps.  Return to start.  Another pax takes dumbbells and repeat this pattern until all pax have completed the squat thrusters.

Exercises performed by running pax:  Merkins, Burpees, SSH, LBCs, WWIIs…and 5 more that are completely escaping me at this point.

Recover.

Time for modified DORA.  Partner up.

Running pax runs all the way down to the end of the driveway (stop sign).

50 Merkins

100 LBCs

150 Squats

MARY – usual stuff here, ending with 30 seconds of plank.

TIME!

NMM

Jump Rope seemed to be received well.  Hope to see lots of Pax on Thursdays at Double Dutch.

With a young group of Pax, most were not alive or have memory of 1988-92, when most of the songs played were released.  Their loss.

Palin claimed he was under the weather, and thus the MC would be light.  He lied.

While the execution was not 100 percent, there were definitely some keepers in terms of ideas for future use.

Announcements/Prayer Requests

Huckleberry has multiple Qs this week.  Initially, he said it was a week of Qs.  In reality, it is 3.

Workbench has his VQ coming up.  Sounded like a slight delay. Be on the lookout for the preblast.

Blood Drive – July 3rd  See Twitter – D-Day!

YHC has the Q at Mayhem on Wednesday.

Prayers for Starfish

Prayers for Giles and his wife as she begins treatment.

Peace in the middle east, especially Israel.

YHC took us out, giving thanks for the many blessings of this life.

Thanks for coming out, enjoyed our time together!
