  • “Mobility” is Yoga for Men who don’t like Yoga

    We did something a bit different today to prepare for our Ultimate Frisbee coming up this weekend. Then we did a basic Frisbee Drill with red solo cups.

    Mobility workouts are generally not workouts, nor are they static stretching sessions. They are dynamic stretching moves that work well for workout warmups but also move the joints and muscles in ways that may prepare us for rigors of everyday life.

    Mobility List:
    – Calf Raises & Scoops
    – Knee rotations
    – Good Morning Hip Hinge and Squat Combo
    – Inchworm walkouts with pushup
    Belly:
    – Cobra
    – Back Extension with arm holds
    – Scorpions, toes to hands
    Table Top:
    – Cat Cow
    – Bird Dog
    – Down Dog Foot Peddles
    – Down Dog 90 degree knees
    – Frog Rock
    – Abductor One leg out Rocks
    – Spiderman Rocks & extensions
    – Olympic Stretches (Lunge with overhead)
    – Did not have time for: Pigeon, Booty Blaster, 90:90 getups or Iron Mikes
    Back:
    – Knee Hug Glute Pull
    – Back Cross Leg Pull
    – 4 Bicyles & 4 Indiana Prom Dates
    – Isometric Alabama Hold

    FRISBEE DRILLS & Toss all the way back to the cars

    Mosey back to the flag and have 2 minutes of stretching. Numberama, namerama, Opus took us out in prayer.

    Great workout this morning Gents…see you in the gloom soon.

  • I’ve got two legs

    Two warriors attacked a beautiful spring morning at Daville. Opus started us off. Here’s what we did. Mosey to nearest basketball courts for…

    COP

    • Series of circles: ankles, hips, shoulders, neck, arms (small then big circles); all x 10 IC
    • Helicopters x 10 IC
    • Don Quijote x 10 IC
    • Philharmonics x 10 IC
    • Plankjacks x 10 IC
    • Leg lifts x 10 IC
    • Merkins x 10 IC
    • Freddy Mercurys x 10 IC

    Proceed to the road for next evolution:

    10 squats and 10 single-count lunges at each speed bump

    Dora 1-2-3

    Exercises were mountain climbers (100), flutter kicks (200), and SSH (300).

    Timer either hopped up the hill or modified to skipping and then ran back down.

    Baton was then passed to Helix. We moseyed to the bottom of the hill next to the football field for…

    Love Hill

    Exercises were bear crawl, Ukrainian soldiers, and broad jump burpees.

    We then headed back toward the flag with stops on the road for 100 curb toe taps followed, after a short mosey, by:

    11s

    Exercises were pole smokers and merkins on opposite sides of the road. To get from one side of the road and back we duck-walked forwards/backwards. We made it a little over halfway and headed back to the flag, arriving right at 7:30 AM.

    At the flag, we did numberama, nameorama, no announcements, and Opus took us out.

    In case you didn’t catch it, the backlist title is a throwback to an old Monty Python song. The workout today seemed especially leg-focused, and we’ll likely be feeling it tomorrow.

    YHS is so grateful to Opus for being willing to share in the misery. We are better for it!

  • Borrowing Bodos’ Playbook – Old 100

    After some coming in real hots, the crew of 4 met their fears of running at the Bus Loop with a page straight out of the Classics. Shout out to Bodos for spreading a good idea.

    Please see workout below. It was more like the Old 90 today since we had to cut jumping split lunges for time – SADLY. The full laps on a track or bus loop would be more appropriate for an hour long workout if you’re going to include 5-10min of warmups. So could be good for saturdays.

    This workout is a style where each man is encouraged to test themselves on speed / intensity, however, when they are done with that round, to immediately assist anyone at the Six and help them finish their counts. Every man will finish all exercises, and reset for the next lap. So while no man is left behind, no man is limited in their effort either.

    Announcements: The Bridge is this coming Saturday
    – 0545 Daville Clown Car
    – Super Clown Car with other AOs
    – On site arrival 0700
    – Return after brunch around 1130 or 12

    Ultimate Frisbee: Daville has been formally challenged by the Lumberyard to a Saturday 630 or 7am Ultimate Frisbee match in late May. I will send out a Doodle poll for everyone’s best availability.

  • A Case of the Mondays

    Two intrepid alarm clock setters made it out for an Alphabet speed bump challenge this morning. At each speed bump, starting with letter A and working up to letter M before time, pax called out an exercise that starts with that letter and we roll for the # rep count. Interesting additions today included “Egg Beaters” “Indiana Jones … or the Indiana Prom Date” and “Kamakazis”

    The discussion then ensued about the Case of the Mondays with usual low attendance on Monday in Daville. If you are a Davillian reading this, you are welcome to contribute to the conversation! Sunday NFL is over and the PAX both agreed the invigoration of blood flow before you start your 5 day work week is always high value. We’d love to see a return to 5-6 PAX kinds of mondays and are happy to be more creative if needed. Some have work changes, some have new sports in their lives, so we get it.

    But let’s explore Mondays, as we head into the spring. If we don’t get a lot of value out of a booster shot to our weeks with Mondays in Daville, I’ll be a MONKEY HUMPER.
