Nearly planned a Purgatory workout
QIC: Green Acres et al
Date: Sept 23, 2023
PAX: TouchMeNot, Starfish, D-Day, Undertow, BAM, Boomerang, Enron (WB), Green Acres (WD, Q)
Opted for a mostly dry under cover Purgatory on this drizzly morning. Sept 23 is the birthday of Bruce Springsteen AND Ray Charles, so at 9 last night that became the theme. As Pax soon realized, the workout was nearly fully planned. Ended up crowdsourcing the last 27 minutes. YHC pulled the truck onto the sidewalk under the cover so we could hear Bruce on the tapeplayer (why does Sirius XM act like the cassette era is over?🤷♂️😄). The theme was announced, we jumped into Warmarama, and THEN an FNG joined in the middle of SSHops. Austin learned about F3 from SkyBridge, and also knows Closer, Giles, and I think a couple more of us. Stopped for Mission Statement and recited CP’s, then back to Warmarama: 23 x Imp Walkers, Whirlies, and arm circles. Then a tribute to BRUCE who was born in ‘49 (and started the Springsteen tape in the truck with open door):
Box cutters x 49
Ranger merkins x 49
Ukrainian Twist x 49
Copperhead Squats x 49
Erkins x 49 (learned from BAM it should be spelled with an I. Oh well)
Then attempted to spell RAY CHARLES, born 1930, but went out of order:
Raises of the calves x 30
Hand release merkins x 30, then got back on track with
Alabama Prom dates x 30.
Y-flies x 30
Crunches like a baby x 30 IC
H we’d already done.
A we may have skipped 🤔
Right legs lunges x 30
Left leg lunges x 30
Erkins x 30
Squats x 30 IC
Planned workout DONE, but Starfish points out it’s only 7:33. 🤣
Undertow suggests spelling THE BOSS.
Tha merkins 🤷♂️😅 x 23
Heels to Heaven x 23
Erkins x 23
Burpees x 23
Overhead claps x 23 IC
Situps x 23
SSHops x 23 IC. Time? No. Then the wheels fell off YHC’s carefully crafted plan. 🤣
Balls to Post handstand for slow 23 count
Howling Monkey with 10 humpers ea
Ring of Fire with 10 merkins ea, then time for Mary: Mutton crunches, lo dollies, Huck Merkins x 3. Time! Well, really close to it. Welcome Enron! FKA Austin. BAM took us out with a nice prayer for aging parents (and Q’s 🤣), Greenspan family, Sgt.Schultz’ son, YHC’s uncle’s family, and thankfulness and mindful leadership.
Thankful the Pax put up with a barely organized workout and appreciated the co-Q’s! Still had fun and worked most of the muscle groups. Enjoyed the camaraderie and laughter. Thanks for the keys Undertow!
