Linwood Holton Elementary

  • Moonlit Monday

    Under a full moon, a PAX of five posted for the most recent Punisher. The Holton E.S. parking lot was almost full when YHC arrived, but mostly due, apparently, to evening parent-teacher conferences in the building. We moseyed out of the lot and under the oak trees for the start-up PentagonOP with 28 x Imaginary Jump Ropes (corrected Honey Do), 15 x Don Quixotes, 15 x Hillbillies, 10 x Susan Somers (each side), 15 x Alabama Prom Dates, and 10 x Arm Circles (big only, forward, then reverse).

    Move near the school’s security light for 10 minute exercise sequence. Start with 3 x Burpees and follow with 15 x Side Straddle Hops and recover for the rest of the minute. Realizing there was too much time left in the minute, we made slight adjustments. After round 3, increased Burpees per minute to 5. After round 1, increased SSHs to 20, and then to 25 after about round 3. Finished most rounds with 5 / 25 reps.

    Mosey to the back playground. Pull Up on the bars and hold for five seconds then drop and complete 10 x Box Cutters. Plank until all are done. Repeat. Five total rounds.

    Jog around to the outdoor classroom. Complete 20 x Dips followed by 20 x Bench Kicks. Reverse Plank on bench (upright Dip position). Repeat. Three rounds.

    Saunter to the school wall, also well lit by another security light, for another 10 minute sequence with 5 x Donkey Kicks followed by 10 x Merkins. Hop up and finish the minute in People’s Chair. Ten rounds completed.

    Drop to the nearby ground for Crunch medley – 25 x Regular, 25 x Right Leg Straight, 25 x Left Leg Straight, 25 x Reverse Crunches, and 25 x Both Legs Straight. Stretch for a few. Hop up and COT in place and YHC took us out.

    Great to see you guys. Immediate data credit, Dial Up. Thanks for the rolling Merkin count, Offshore. Good seeing you Honey Do and the beard appears to be coming in nicely. Get some sleep EF Hutton. Have a good week.

  • Just Like 0530

    A pair of us gathered for the first Punisher post-clock change. Both of us arrived on foot, but met in the parking lot anyway. Startup COP under the oaks with some of the usual exercises. Shifted from the grass to the wall for a Double Check with People’s Chair and mosey to Laburnum and back. Move back into the grass for Super 21 with Merkins and Reverse Crunches. Quick jog into the bus loop for leg medley with Squats and Lunges. “C”OT at end of bus loop before ambling back home.

  • Triple D

    Punisher with Pub in October had two participants. We spent a few minutes working out at Holton, then moseyed to Dot’s Back Inn. We sat on the patio as a follow-up episode to an earlier Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives show was being filmed in the building. Neither of us sought camera time during our visit. There are others in our F3RVA family that would have loved a little TV time. You know who you are. We were there for the beverage.

  • I need to use my hand for Dinner

    4 warriors showed up after work for an evening work out at Punisher and here is how it went down:

    COP

    Mosey from parking lot to grass lawn and started with: 20 SSH, 10 DQ, 15 Helicopters, 20 Freddie Mercuries, 11 Imperial walkers, 10 4ct merkins, 10 scorpions.

    The THANG

    The Dirty MacDeuce – YHC did some research and found this routine that was the following: We repeated this 4 times and did this together.

    12-4 count decline merkins, 12-4 count squats, 12-4 count LBC’s then 1 lap around the front lawn (about 1/2 football field) .

    6 Pack – We slow moseyed to the play ground area where there was an area to perform pull ups where we did 1 pull up then 5 merkins, then 2 pull ups and 4 merkins. Count always totals 6 and we declined to 1 merkin to 5 pull ups. Mumble chatter was high during this routine and YHC told the PAX we had to reverse to go back up to 5 merkins and 1 pull up. Chum Bucket stated that he needed his hand to eat dinner…thank you for the idea and the BB title was set in stone!

    BLIMPS – We moseyed back to front yard and did the following routine together B – 5 Burpees , L – 10 Lunges(5 each leg), I – 15 Imperial Walkers, M – 20 Merkins, P – 25 Plank Jacks, and S- 30 Squats. We ran a lap around the front lawn and repeated this 3 times.

    BTW – We moseyed to the wall and hand stand and each person did 5 count chicken peckers (shoulder taps). Then did a wall sit and moseyed to rally point.

    Mary –

    We did scissor kicks for 30 seconds, then ab twists for 30 seconds. Thsi wrapped up the evening workout.

    Check out pre blast for stash for cash…Vinny and Gumbo are highlighted and will be the men that will grow some facial hair for a great cause.

    YHC took us out.

    MOLESKIN

    YHC expected a slight crowd when Chum Bucket let everyone know that he was out for the week.  With 1 Trail Guide and 1 Greenhorn in attendance, YHC took the Q and off we went.  Upon settling in for the COP, YHC wondered to himself, can a PAX of 2 in fact circle up?  Hmm, deep thoughts, by Jack Handey.  Dial Up commented a few times that YHC was pulling lots of new material out of his bag of tricks, only to be told these are basically just the greatest hits.  Check out a DTH Q for some truly ground-breaking stuff.  Great to have Dial Up alongside for the evening.  Keep posting, SYITG.

So he let’s us know he’s good but he has to roll and get medicine quick – we watch him run off and listen for any crashing cars but hear nothing and assume all is well. Thankfully Shakedown texted us – he’s good – just has to take those things seriously – so glad to hear you are ok man – take it easy Shake.. So back to the Bees – my man Chum grabs a stick and as we begin to mossy he whacks that nest which was up under the bench and we all run like hell towards the playground – luckily nobody else was stung – but you know Jville was scared cause he beat Rosie running away from those damn bees….

  • Abbr

    Advertised a short workout with social. Five made it. Four for 13 minutes of exercises followed by the mosey to Dot’s Back Inn. A fifth met us for the second F. We did well on both ends – our reps and our beverages. Will do it again sometime.

  • Rain, Rain Go Away

    10 F3RVA regulars showed up to Punisher parking lot in the middle of a deluge, including lighting and thunder for an evening beatdown that went something like this:

    Using the common sense, that we do not sometimes use, PAX gathered under an overhang to get things started with the COP. Exercises included : Invisble Jumpropes, LBCs, Fire Hydrants.

    Still raining buckets, so to delay a little longer : PAX lined up on wall and each PAX picked an exercise that began with A-I. Exercises : I do not remember, but trust YHC, they started with the letters A-I.

    PAX remained lined up on wall for Chicken Pecker Line of Fire. Each PAX does 5 four count CPs and pass to the next PAX, until all PAX complete. 7-11 showed the group how to perform a real chicken pecker (SHOW OFF)

    Still raining, but a little less of a downpour, time to get wet. Mosey to the far corner of the school grounds. PAX perform 10 merkins and run as a group to the next corner. Jville finds everyone puddle and/or stream and make sures to splash thru each one. Audible to stop at the bus loop for Indian Run bear crawl the length of the bus loop. (That was awful)

    Second corner = PAX performs 20 Copperhead Squats and run to Corner #3.

    PAX performs 30 WWIIs and run to Corner number #4. Audible to stop at the shelters to dry off a little for some Lindseys. Exercises included step ups and dips.

    Mosey to Corner #4 for 40 Flutterkicks.

    Mosey to the back of school to playground for Ring of Fire. PAX hold six inches while one member completes 5 WWIIs. ring of Fire#2 = PAX holds plank while one PAX completes 5 merkins.

    Mosey to BBALL courts for some legs. Buttkickers across and run backwards back. High knees and run backwards back. Kareoke across and run backwards back.

    Mosey back to far corner of school for Burpee alley. Start at first light pole a perform one burpee. Run to second light pole and perform 2 burpees. Repeato unti 5 light poles.

    Circle up for Mary. (Real loud clap of thunder and lightning)

    Quick audible for a real quick mosey back to the overhang for 1 minute of Mary (APDS).

    Stay under overhang for COT. Numberama, Namearama and YHC took us out with a prayer.

    NMS : On the drive to the AO, YHC had a game plan but it was raining so hard, YHC could not see where the Jeepster was headed. Arriving safely and climbing in Big Blue, YHC scrapped the original plan and devised another. (Sort of) The PAX crushed whatever YHC through their way. YHC thanks everyone for the opportunity to lead and for coming out to play in rain.
