The Stones Quarry

The Stones Quarry

QIC: Wobegon

Date: 9-14-2023

PAX: THE Pony Express, Boomerang, Argyle, Undertow, Green Acres, Morpheus (DR Wilmington), Doublewide Wobegon.

YHC has a knack for turning rock and roll into homework. I just finished the incredibly remarkable book The Sun & The Moon & The Rolling Stones By Rich Cohen, after watching Gimme Shelter a few weeks ago. May or may not have tried to tune one of my Telecasters to the Keef tuning of open G recently as well. Anyway, a Stones soundtracked workout sounded like a good plan.

The Q got in from his 3-mile EC, the pax drifted in and we hit it with Start Me Up and got to it.

Warm O Rama with the favorites

Over to the small-brick planter and grab a brick area.

OYO 10 each:

• Dips 
• Left leg
• Irking 
• Right leg
• Dips

Choose your mode of transport (most walked, few moseys) to the rocks…err…Stones.

Ladies and Gentlemen….The Mick and Keith:

Partner A (Keith): rock out with your rock to the called exercise. Work those guitar arms like The Human Riff.

Partner B: Lunge walk (strut like Jagger) the prescribed distance and back and switch. 

New exercise for each song.

• Sympathy For the Devil:  Skull Crushers 
• Can You Hear Me Knocking?: Chest Press 
• Brown Sugar: Bent Row 
• Street Fighting Man: Curls For The Girls (For the Birds? For the Groupies? Whatever.)  
• Monkey Man: stones up and walk back to start

Extended Mary to (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction and You Can’t Always Get What You Want

And done.

COT:

• GreeNest this week
• GrowRuck in Wilmington coming up
• Prayers for again parents, Greenspan’s father-in-law, Splash’s dad. Others unspoken.

A pleasure to be with you all this morning. Hope all enjoyed the music. Next up on the pile is So…Anyway by John Cleese, so expect a Ministry of Silly Walks workout in the coming months.
