Everywhere I go, I see your ghost
The spirit of ’91
You said you loved me more than toast
But less than a staple gun.

A beautiful bit of pop-punk poetry from the catchy-as-hell jam “More Than Toast” by seminal East Bay band The Mr. T. Experience. The song, nor the band, does not have anything to do with the workout and the song was not on the “91: Rock Revolution” playlist we listened to as we did the following, the line has just been stuck in YHC’s head all day.

It went like this:

Warm-o-Rama was normal, followed by two down-and-backs of Apollo Creed in the lot.

Cardboard Tabata Time. Pick one of the 4 pieces of cardboard lined up by the covered area. Start the music. :30 on, :15 off. Perform the first of the 4 listed exercises till the bell, then rotate. Keep going. We all go through all 4 exercises on the 4 boards twice. The boards:

  1. Plank
  2. Low Plank
  3. Superman
  4. Right and Left Arm Raised Plank, alternate.

 

  1. Merkins
  2. Wide Merkins
  3. Diamond Merkins
  4. Parker Merkins

 

  1. Squats
  2. Alternating Lunges
  3. Reverse Lunges
  4. High Knees

 

  1. LBCs
  2. Heels To Heaven
  3. Freddy Mercury
  4. American Hammer

Skip-Jump to the wall. Tabata resumes.

:30 of Jack Reachers, in People’s Chair. :15 of Side Straddle Hops. 4 Rounds.

Back to Start for round-robin Mary. Good choices.

Done.
