  • Long Poles

    5 Godlike Titans rose before the sun and descended onto Bettie Weaver to make themselves better prior to a weekend of debauchery. According the yippy black dog walking his owner around the parking lot, this is what was rumored to have occurred.

    4 bootcampers ventured out leaving behind a solo rucker transcended parts unknown or atleast not told. Bootcampers moseyed down to James River High School for quick disclaimer and warm up that included invisible jump rope, helis, cherry pickers, jazzercise, merkins, X planks, LBCs and hello dollies. All seemed warm so we moseyed over to the bus loop:

    The THANG:

    Triple Check with 4: Timer runs across the parking lot and up the Regimental Tower. Others performed a variety of wall work that included Australian Mountain Climbers, Dirty Hookups and Hoedowns.

    Upon completion and the gathering of various clothing items, mosey to the student parking lot for some Parking Lot work: Bear Crawl across the parking lot, stopping at the lines for ascending merkins 1-10. Next round, lunges with ascending squats 1-10. Finished – lets work on those abs

    Indigenous Pole Smokers. Grab a pole and hold 6″, Far left person does 3 pole smokers and takes the vacant pole on the other side. Continue the leap frog until the end, which took a long time.

    BTTF for quick Not So LazyBoy Mary.

    NMS: No real plan today other than to incorporate some vertical work and long line of pole smokers. Great mumble chatter included scouting youth football, youth Halloween costumes, and upcoming camping trips. Twin Team is always a great AO with tremendous variety of exercises partnered with comradery. Appreciative to this group after an interesting week personally. Great advice and guidance has been a blessing. Thank you for the fellowship and thoughts.

  • Screams, Pops and Groans in the Dark

    Six Brogii veterans woke well before most to get some early work in regardless of the cool and damp conditions. Awning under the church was an ideal setting for double and some triple ply coverage or just a washcloth as some elected to utilize.

    Areas of emphasis were shoulders, neck, hips, glutes and hamstrings. Cooler temps made shavasana a bit uncomfortable but still enjoyable. Great mumble chatter by the PAX regardless of Kubota’s library policy during Broga. Well done lads.

  • Blankets Required

    A quartet of frozen Brogiis braved the winds and cooler temps at No Toll to get in a prebeatdown stretching session. Shoulders, hips, back, hamstrings and glutes were called into action before an elongated Shavasana with the cool breeze coming overtop.

    Group was not prepared for the constant breeze this morning and all agreed the fart sack was a might tough temptation to overcome. Appreciate you gentlemen joining me and pushing me out of the nice warm bed. Way to work fellas.

  • Triple Coverage

    A bit of a chill was in the filtered Tuckahoe air this morning. This did not stop 5 brogi regulars and 1 newcomer from rising earlier than most to work out some kinks. Hot Potato was previously called so YHC took the 1st round with some standing work followed by Childs Pose and shoulder work. Kubota took over next leading the PAX into a complex pretzel position creating various outbursts in its wake. Passing the torch to EF Hutton for the always popular pigeon and cat/cow. Handshake recommended an elongated shavasana to close us out. Great work men on a colder than normal morning.

    Good to see Wojo make it out from his travels around the country albeit without groundcover. Thankfully Kubota emerged with a plethora of towels to provide protection. Great work men.

  • Just a Couple of Brogiis

    A might duo of Brogii veterans braved the cooler temps of No Toll for a predawn flexibility test. According to the regular 5 am joggers, this is what was witnessed.

    Emphasis of the day was on lower body. Hips, hamstrings and back were worked thru a variety of standing postures. Pigeon along with House Party’s favorite shoulder pose got us working on upper body. Extra long shavasana closed things out to start our day.

    Good seeing House Party back out as he started a new job. Prayers for family in Tampa with with incoming storm.

  • Hey You Guys

    11 hardened lads arrived to Hoedown in the finest of attire to start the week with a bang. According to the parking lot attendant, this is what was rumored to have occurred.

    5.30 start, most of us moseyed around the traffic circle while others that were a bit delayed joined up for warmorama consisting of invisible jump rope, helis, DQ’s, jazzercise, merkins, LBC’s, Suzanne Summers and Dancing Bears. Warm? lets mosey to the blacktop.

    7 of Diamonds. YHC calls and exercise which PAX will perform in multiples of 7 reps at each corner. Hold for the 6. Exercises included 7 Hand Release Merkins, 14 WW2’s, 21 Jump Squats, 28 2 count flutters, 21 2 count Shoulder Taps, 14 Imperial Walkers, 7 Burpees. Short Mosey to the school.

    Announcements: Beer Mile scheduled for October 29th. See Faceplant for deets. Happy birthday Fudd

    NMS: It has been a moment since YHC has Q’d at Hoedown. Good way to start the week. Great mumble chatter this morning. YHC is looking for recruits for his public speaking classes with emphasis on pronunciation, theology and gender neutralityisms. Location is on some private island. Spaces are filling up fast so be like Bodos, and book today. Great time this morning gents. Way to work.

  • Autumn = Broga Weather

    A duo Brogi stalwarts took to the No Toll courts to get loose and limber. According to the owls, this is rumored to have occured.

    Shoulder and back were the initial target areas. Legs and glutes followed with the pigeon the always popular position. Good shavasana caused some shuteye for YHC as cool breeze was ideal this morning. Good to see Chaplain recovering from his back IR and getting some additional rest following the intense 4.30 launch at Rock and Roll on Monday. Well done boys.

  • Ideal Conditions

    A perfect set of trios arose long before the sun to take advantage of the perfect broga conditions. Downed trees and dispatched maintenance crews could not delay early morning broga regulars for an event for the ages. Handshakes arrival at 4.29 got us started with Fudd surprise arrival being socially late after we started.

    Areas of concentration were shoulders (YHC would have worked this area more with knowledge of the impending beatdown), hamstrings, glutes, hips and back. Shavasana was welcomed by all with the comfortable conditions of autumn. Well done fellas.

  • Back from Break

    A trio of Brogii regulars rose earlier than most to warm up for the epic beatdown Florence had in store. According to the duo of early rising walkers this is what is believed to have occured.

    Broga emphasis today was on shoulders, hips, glutes and hamstrings. Childs pose and pigeon were popular along with House Party preferred shoulder stretch. Bands were used to work on hamstrings and hips.

    YHC had taken a 2 week hiatus from No Toll Broga due to a knee injury and recovery. Good to be back in the groove. Keep pushin gents.

  • Size and thickness is important

    After a week of recovery, seven Brogii veterans arrived early with a variety of comfort flooring. Fudd followed Hutton with the yoga mat, YHC preferred double towel protection, Lockjaw brought a wash cloth, while others found whatever was lying around the laundry on the way out. Exercises emphasized shoulders, hamstrings, hips and back. Shavasana was elongated with the cool morning breeze crossing the parking lot. Well done today fellas.
