This morning, as I was on my way there with the bands I was trying to figure out things. I had a few ideas but the main one was broga with the bands at the end. Arrived, set the bands nearby, then time to get going. A healthy 10 ventured came down to get one more session in with yours truly to end 2024. A little run then a warmup that’s was probably a surprise cause it was short(SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Dead Man Hangs, Merkins, Flutters). I didn’t want to waste time, felt to get going which was the right thing.
I enjoy Doras, one of my favorite things plus I can really get the rep range going. This morning we did Dora with the bands(yes it can be done). 100 Merkins, 200 squats, 300 LBCs now since you had a partner, even splits after you completed that part run to the stop sign and back. I am sure people are going how do you do LBCs with the bands(I figured it out) plus to add more intensity move the feet apart at about 50, the muscles are working hard you can feel it.
Next… A Mudslide classic runs up the hill. I made it into a mini Build A Beast with jump squats, WW2, and plank jacks with a burpee topper. We each got a round in, I saw the time thought let’s get in something good in before broga starts. A nice little fast feet combo changes in directions. 45 seconds one round was all we needed. The last part, stretches with the bands(a little extra wind included). Shoulders, legs, hips even did Futon’s favorite to close things out. Numbers, names prayer led by YHC to close it out
See Slack a lot I am sure upcoming to start the year. One thing I have learned recently the workouts on Thursday and Friday(for myself those are recovery ones). I use them to help my body learn and not really going for full effort. I save the big effort for a Saturday session and if you were there last Saturday, you saw what’s possible. The bands (especially the smaller ones) need to be replaced. I have had those for almost 5 years so next time with them, I should have newer ones. I do have something I am doing in January, plus a new spot that I have been seeing I got a chance to train I will be going back there to learn and get my body more functional in 2025 and beyond. If you every want to venture to it or get together and train at a spot reach out. If you’re at RNR tomorrow, I will see you there have a good one
