12 HIMs came out despite the rainy conditions for a Deck of Cards Workout at The Woodshed. A little gambling for the group turned into ~2 miles of running and various quantities of cinder block exercises leading to a nice little Wednesday beatdown. It was concluded that today is not the day to buy a lottery ticket as the cards were not in our favor, with the exception of Nancy Lopez (who may or may not have “accidently” seen his card when guessing). Here is how it went down:
Warm Up: Mosey to each end of the parking lot and then circled up for various IC exercises: SSH, Ukranian Soldiers, Deadman Hang, Jazzercise, Merkins, Flutter Kicks
COP 1: All PAX members grabbed a cinder block and lined up at one end of the parking lot for the Deck of Cards Workout:
Hearts = Bicep Curls Diamonds = Anterior Raises Clubs = Skull Crushers Spades = Squat Thrusters
J/Q/K = WW3s x 10 Aces = Merkins x 25 Jokers = Bear Crawl halfway to end of parking lot, Bernie back
Round 1 – PAX member guesses if the next card is higher or lower than last card. If incorrect, PAX performs quantity shown of the suit followed by 3 Burpees. We were correct about 50% of the time here!
Round 2 – PAX member guesses the suit of the next card. If incorrect, PAX performs quantity shown of the suit followed by a run to the end of the parking lot and back. We did a lot of running here!
Round 3 – PAX member guesses if the next card is higher or lower AND the suit of the next card. If incorrect on high/low we did 3 Burpees and if incorrect on the suit we ran to the end of the parking lot and back. More burpees and runs were in the cards for us!
Time called with some cards left in the deck including all 4 Aces and 1 Joker. Numbers, Names, Announcements (Home Grown Half in August, SOJ CSAUP in September, SOJ SLT Meeting Next Week at Heists’ House), Prayer Requests (None spoken)
Good turn out for a rainy morning from the Harper’s Mill crew and a few travelers out of the neighborhood. Thanks for showing up fellas and keep getting out there to push yourselves! Have a blessed day!
