After taking it easy for a couple months, watching my new born daughter, it was time to step back into the role of the Q. Four hard chargers gathered in the early morning to get the work on.
The Warm-Up: Side Straddle Hops, Don Quixotes, Imperial Walkers, Cherry Pickers, Super Mario jumps, and Bernie Sanders.
The Work: Best I can describe as a NASCAR version of an indigenous run. Bear with me, on the basketball court, all four of us align on the corner. Person in the back runs a lap around the basketball court as fast as he can and repositions in the front. While the hard charger is running around the court the other three are doing a work out on the line. Once the hard charger repositions himself in the front, the next person in the back takes off running around the court. As soon as all four hard chargers complete one lap, the workout changes and the laps continue. The order, Merkins, WWII, Flutter Kicks, LBCs, Merkins, Lunges/Squats, American Hammer, Monkey Humpers, Alabama Prom dates. If it sounds confusing, come out next time I have the Q.
Next up: Broad Jump suicides, with a Bernie Sanders back to the line. Just how it sounds. Regular suicides except instead of running, Broad Jumps
Next: Line up at one end of Basketball court in high Merkin position. Hard charger on the right sprints to one end to the basketball court and sprints back, gets back on the line. Switch to low Merkin position and hold, next hard charger sprints from one end of the court and back, switch back to high Merkin position. This kept up until all hard chargers did three sprints a piece.
Since I hadn’t shown up to a whole lot workouts past couple of months, I thought it would be a fun time to get in some of Chaplain’s World Famous Indigenous Pole Smokers. We all know what those are by now.
Sprint to the finish: All hard chargers doing burpees while one hard charger ran around the entire parking lot. Exercise was complete when each person ran the parking lot once.
One minute left: Merkin Ring of Fire
COT
There were no prayer requests (just a general thanks for being able to get together, and to workout in the crisp morning air. And to watch over all of us and our families.)
Frozen Triangle is set for February 10.
I want to say thanks to everyone who reached out to me when my daughter, Sophia was born. It’s been an exciting couple of months, and I don’t think I’ve had this lack of sleep since the military, but it’s easily been the best months of my life, so far. I am also thankful that I decided to have a child well into the 21st century where men also get Parental Leave.
It was good to get back into the role of being Q.
