i took time away from leading Qs, one thing is simply enjoy the workouts led by others yet the other part is yours truly on a tear going to this or doing that which takes me away from going to my usual spots especially the weekend ones. This morning…..15 brave souls(they forgot to read the Satan’s Hill and 1st fitness board to bring a weight). Luckily I brought a few extras plus the Cindy’s and Crabgrass having a couple sandbags available we worked it out. I like to try things out, do things we all are not used to today a version of the 300 workout(which down the road, I will do more cause it”s one that have a lot of potential and possibilities with what can be done. Broga was also on the menu, guys need it especially as you get older, you want to stay flexible and mobile. Here’s the breakdown:
A short warmup(SSHs, Helicopters, Copperhead squats, Merkins, a little stretching) it was time to get into the 300. The original plan was 6 different exercises at 50 reps a piece but I felt this time it was a little too much(don’t think down the road I won’t have one). I spilt things up smaller parts there were a couple that were straight 50 reps(a bit in after the party was finished, up the hill, 3 Navy Seal Burpees then back down). Each part was
- 20 swings, 20 skull crushers, 10 plank suicides
- 20 goblet squats, 20 rows/side, 10 cleans/side
- 50 Australian Mountain Climber
- 20 poop shovelers, 20 plank pull thrust, 10 presses/side
- 50 walking lunges
- 20 Waiter Presses, 30 Hindu squats
Once we finished or came close, it was Broga time. A little stretching out plus a moment where Heist was relaxed(I have something in the future for that). Time was up, Numbers, names, announcements and prayer led by YHC to close it out
Weather was nice for it, I have future plans for 300 Fridays all kettlebell, all bodyweight etc or simply another thing will be 12-20 minute AMRAP workouts (fact next time I lead at Satan’s, we’ll do that). Monday if you come to convergence, you will see the new amphitheater that opens 6/6. My dream workout spot would be a place like Red Rocks in Colorado(has everything there you need to get in a great workout plus they do huge yoga classes). Fact I have a female friend who is a certified yoga teacher perhaps one time for a fee to help her out she can do a class. Things in Richmond area here recently I have been doing: my son goes to a place the Glass Spot (where you make things with glass using a 2000 degree oven and watch it go from nothing to say a drinking glass or a vase). Another thing is the dome at the science museum. 1x a month they do laser shows with music(we have done Dark Side of the Moon, Quuen last week that was awesome, next month the music of Prince it’s 55 minutes(they do sell alcohol there and they sell out so let me know I know someone who works there gives us a heads up to what they will have). Tomorrow will be neat, I have an opportunity to demo drive a Rivian(all electric vehicle) I will drive the SUV I will not buy one now, but it will be neat to actually drive one and feel what it’s like. See you tomorrow, Monday at Brown’s Island, etc I have a little break before probably the homegrown later in the summer, Spartan in October and running the Richmond half in November.
