Warm-Up.
The PAX Mosey’d to the football field and then winded it’s way like a snake from Greek mythology up and down, down and up through the stairs on the bleachers. Mumble chatter about “skipping,” the stretches were heard from the unhappy serpent until we arrived at the top of the last set of stairs.
Circle up:
- Cherry Pickers x 10 IC
- Worlds Greatest stretch 10 OYO
- Arm Circles fwd/bwd x10 IC
- Imperial Walkers x15 IC
I proceeded to miss-name exercises and ruin the “Next exorcise, In Cadence, ready position, move,” procedure, but my supportive PAX was quick retrain me. Here I thought I was a big bad Q with 2 notches in my belt, but I clearly have some homework.
Thang 1: “Tour – De – Stade” The pax will revisit the bleachers to touch every stair twice
Set-up: 8 stair sections; assign 1 pair per section to start (staggered).
Per cycle (together or alternate):
- Run up stairs to top → 10 Dips
- Run down stairs → 10 Merkins
– After completing aisle, move right to next section & repeat.
– At far right end, mosey back to far left & loop again.
Transition: The PAX regrouped at the bottom of the bleachers and did air squats till the six joined us. Then we ran to the football field.
Thang 2: Field Mary Suicides
Set up: Start in end zone. Suicide-style: sprint to each line (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 yd), do full reps of listed exercise, sprint back. Advance to next line after completing previous.
– 10 yd: 10 Australian Snow Angels
– 20 yd: 20 WWII’s
– 30 yd: 30 American Hammers
– 40 yd: 40 Alabama Prom Dates
– 50 yd: 50 Flutter Kicks
Thang 3: Dora
Pair up, each group does 100 Squats, 200 Plank Jacks, and 300 monkey humpers as a pair. One member of the pair runs to the other sideline and back while the other member knocks off sequential reps and then they switch.
Transition: Run to the ramp for some lunges and then back to the parking lot.
Thang 4: 2 minutes of Side straddle hops.
Back at the cars we found a fearless leader, very ill, and equally Nyquilled Snuff who rolled out of his death bed to bring us coffee.
I needed to kill 2 minutes so we did 47 SSH in cadence.
