For a Rocky workout montage, 9 HIMs showed up at the Woodshed to prepare for Rocky’s foes with a spirited workout.
Warmerama included moseying down the streets of Philly (or Harpers Mill), SSHs, Don Quixotes, Cherry pickers, Leg and Hip stretchers.
Finding the best from Rocky’s movies, we undertook some clear and some confusing exercises. Duly noted by YHC…
All rounds included 1-minute AMRAP style exercises, some that paired with another HIM and then a full parking lot jog and back.
Round 1: Apollo Creed
- Clapping merkins – note to self, don’t start with these again …
- Full sit ups
- Leg raisers with partner push off
Round 2: Clubber Lang
- Back to back with partner for a coupon (medicine ball) pass, both directions
- Shadow box shuffle from side of parking lot to the other side and back
- Frog hop with a coupon
Round 3: Ivan Drago
- Foot-elevated merkins with a partner
- Dragon Flies – or at least our attempt at them by raising torso and legs into the air on a plane
- Bear crawl up and down the field hill
Round 4: Tommy “The Machine” Gunn
- Medicine ball (coupon) merkins, first with one hand elevated and then switch to the other
- Full sit ups with a torso twist (optionally, could have partner slap stomach per Rocky’s trainer. No one chose this option.)
Closed with a circle up and some more SSHs and LBCs to time.
Numbers and Names
Announcements included Rosie’s 12 days of Christmas. Prayers for multiple people seeking jobs + reminder about Rudy’s ministry opportunity. See 3rd-f channel for details. Encouragement for more Qs at Woodshed!
YHC also learned there is such a thing as SOP and it is not standard operating procedure. Will have to do the shorts-only next time (maybe).
