  • Let’s play some cards

    3 guys posted for a card game/workout today.

    COP — fun exercises

    Card game — each person receives ten cards. randomly throw out one card. add the numbers up — pick an exercise out of the bag. Voila. Caveat. If two players cards happen to be the same, the exercises are doubled in the amount. That happened twice. 56 merkins was a lot, but we made it through.

    Other exercises along the way to break up the game — 5 pull ups while the pax did squats.
    Shoot your shot — 3 shots to make a bucket. If you miss all three, the pax does 5 burpees, if you make, 10 squats.

    Great job by the PAX today as we figured out the game together.

    SYITG

  • Get off your phone

    3 men posted to Creek. YHC wanted to do some isometric exercises so used the PAX as the Guinea pigs. Since we had 3, it was perfect for triple checks.

    Triple check 2: P1 wall push, P2 Alabama prom date hold, P3 mosey

  • Moving COP

    2 men decided to beat the fart sack and get a workout in this morning. We decided to do a moving COP.

    We moved from entrance to school all the way around the school, stopping at different places to do a COP exercise.

  • That’s not a good idea.

    Five posted to Pearson’s Corner Elementary School on this perfect Friday for a bootcamp that can end the week correctly. Since there was a Florida visitor, YHC took the Q and off they went.

    COP all IC: SSH, Helicopters, Arm Circles, Reverso, Don Quixotes, One legged lunges, other leg, Jazzersize, Hillbillies, Merkins, Angled Knee Jumps, Synchronized Mountain Climbers, LBCs, APDs, Heels to Heaven

    The Thang

    4 Corners (Each PAX member stands at corner of blacktop and does an exercise while 5th PAX member runs to next station. The exercises were Freddie Mercuries, Dips, Jump Squats, Skull Crushers and were all completed 5 times.)

    Pull-up Hangs/Merkins – Because of limited pull-up space, the PAX was broken into 2 groups. One group did 15 second pull-up hangs while the other did Merkins. They then rotated until all PAX member had led the count twice. This total 6 rotations.

    Toga Special – YHC remembered Toga leading this years ago. PAX gets in balls to wall posiiton. They then walk down the wall until they are in Plank position with feet still on wall. They then walk back up the wall to Ball to the Wall position, they then go back to Plank Position. This was done twice with the following exercises done at the conclusion.

    • Round 1 – American Hammers and Flutterkicks
    • Round 2 – Plank-O-Rama all in cadence (Carolina Dry Docks/Merkins, go to side plank with raising and lowering hip, go to back plank with raising and lowering butt, go to other side plank with raising and lowering hip.

    COT: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, Opus took us out.

    NMS:

    Great to have Audit from F3 Pensacola visiting today. Rosie gave DaVille notice that he might be posting today. The Creek is not one of YHC’s normal posting locations, so there was a learning curve. Thank you Trout for letting YHC know his original plan for the Pull-up hangs was not a good idea. Trout realized there was a high probability of breaking the playground equipment which caused YHC to pivot to an alternate plan. Also, thank you Yardsale for bringing the mumblechatter and positive attitude again today.

    YHC also must have been slightly tired today since he briefly forgot to include himself in the Name-O-Rama and also briefly forgot his new age.

    Audit did ask the PAX at the COT about the “Cone Parade” in Richmond on New Year’s Day. YHC had heard about it on the news but have never seen it. Interesting how visitors see things in town that those who have lived here all of our lives have never seen. At least this is proof that it really occurs.

    Announcements:

    1. Opus is doing a sugar fast for January. Let him know if you want to join him.

    It was a honor to lead this morning. Well done all!
