11 regulars sweated out their Friday night libations during a heavy aerobic workout (we traveled over 2.2 miles). For a change, we started with a Mosey to Burpee Hill where we did a bunch of warmups exercises and only one burpee. Piglet was running late and found us. Maybe it was from our Cherry Picker claps?
Since the Pickle ballers were starting to flood in, I started us with a proper greeting of 11’s: Monkey Humpers and Pickle pounders, running back and forth between the courts. We got a lot of frowns while running. Maybe that was because we picked up all the empty plastic bottles that were left on the ground from yesterday. The “pick” in Pickleball obviously does not stand for picking up after yourself.
We then went to the soccer fields for a double quarter pounder. Started with 25 Merkins, 50 squats, 75 single count Mountain Climbers and 100 SSH–done at the 25, 50, 75, 100 with Bernie Sanders after each. Second time with 25 HRM, 50 Plank Jacks, 75 LBCs and 100 SSH.
Tired and wet, we headed back to Burpee Hill for ten minutes of ….Abs. We ended up doing 9 different Ab exercises for 45 seconds each and then a 15 second break. We did WW2, Flutters, Reverse Crunches, Side Crunches (both sides), LBCs, Freddie’s, American Hammers and WWI. We finished with one minute of Burpees (or ten count, whichever you reached first). We left the hill with only 11 burpees for the day. There was some gnashing of teeth and tears of disappointment across the Pax.
We went back to the flag and had time for some bear crawls up the small hill next to the parking lot. We ran down, bear crawled up, five times.
After a minute of dead man hangs, we were done. Some were done earlier…
