11 of us gathered at Grid Iron, not knowing it was about to be a St Patrick’s Day theme with some familiar exercises…just with some “Oh” or ”Ohhhh” reactions.
Warmup and then to the soccer field for a modified 4 Corners…the Four Leaf Clover. 5 Burpees at midfield every time and 25 Merkins, Carolina Dry Docks, Squats and WWIIs at each corner. But the “Oh” was to add a Burpee at the end of every exercise, in addition to the 5 at midfield. (29 total Burpees).
Then we took a break (that means Abs). 4 sets of 25: WWIs, Crunchy Frogs, Plank Side Crunches, and the new O’Merican Hammer (later called the Irish Hammer) which is a two count ‘Merican Hammer but dropping your back to the ground on the third county for a sit up, then coming up again.
Mosey to the other field with the hill for 7’s (American Hammers and Merkins). Then a Dora of 100 Merkins, 200 Lunges/Squats, and 300 Heal Raises. Took another break (more Abs) for 4 sets of 25: Side Crunches, Heals to Heaven, and Knee Ups. Then an O’Lindsay (Modified Lindsay): 30-10, 20-20, 10-30: Steps up with a Knee Raise at the top, and Dips with 1 leg raised.
Some stretching, and then headed to the wall for 30 Mike Tysons between 15 People’s Chair, Milkers, and Muhammad Ali’s. Finished with more stretching…and we’re done. Gypsy said we had about 1.5 miles between all of those Abs and Chests. Nice!
