The day began like any other Alcatraz Saturday morning. The pax were lead in a warm-up of side stradle hops, arm swirly forward and backwards, Michael Phelps, the thing I always get wrong – Imperial Walkers ( I tend to call them Imperial Storm Troppers). We then headed on a slow mosey to the back to get some blocks and work on what I was hoping it to be is what I wanted to call a rescue mission. This was to be a partner workout with one partner wall sitting while the other carried blocks in different ways to the other side of the parking lot to build a wall. While the other partner did a peoples chair against the wall. After the wall was built, that person ran over to the big tractor tires to move them intially pulling them until I realized they were full of water, very, very heavy. Then I attepted to dump the H2O by flipping tires which did help them to decrease the weight. By the way Recess did an increadible jop flipping tires of that size. He’s only 11 yo. The process was to change each time with new exercises with blocks and new exercises while chair sitting against the wall. We were unable to get to the good stuff due to a storm brewing and ruining the process. I chose to kill that and move people to shelter since there was lighting. We made it just in time to shelter when it let loose. Under shelter, I just started to rattle off exercise after exersise to increase the beat down effectiveness. It was one set of twenty reps of dips, erkins, derkins, LBC’s, merkins, right leg step ups, left leg step ups, butts to bench squats, high knee down the shelter area and back, lunge walk down and back, side steps down and back. Then repeto the process. We also incorporated bricks we found and did DQ’s snowman exercise, merkins on the bricks, bear squats ( I stole from my daughter’s PT). I may have missed a few exercises. Overall, it became a good aerobic beatdown. I know I was pretty fatigued after putting myself through it.
Mary- Consisted of PAX picking there choice of Mary exercises.
All-in-all everyone got better and all contributed to the beatdown. Glad I was allowed to lead and participate with such fine men.
