Overall a good showing for yet a still humid fall NOLA morning.  We started promptly at 5:30 after the disclaimer for both my ability as a trainer and my lack of sleep…

Warm up

Abogotas or windmills — 15 very slow…

PP – 15

MC -15

IW – 20

SSH-25

First event:

Eleven at Canal Blvd. with Squat jumps at top of levee and LBCs at bottom.

Next a recap from Hokey Pokey Face book post the benefits of push ups (good time to catch breath versus countdown.)

Merkins – 12

Incline merkins – 10

Decline merkins – 10

Shoulder taps – 15

More Merkins – 10

Then….  Time for a Red Barchetta (“This a song about a car”)

Modified using light poles as boundaries and recommendation by Walleye to head west along lake due to a straight line versus east.

Run up to 5 poles (not including the baseline) — 50 SSH

4 poles — 40 MC

3 poles — 30 Lunges

2 poles — 20 LBCs (but truncated due to time)

1 poles – 10 Burpees

Six was regrouped after each exercise.

Quick Mary

Flutter Kicks — 15

Plank hold 30-40 seconds and back to flag

Round of numbers, names, announcements, intentions and COT.

Great to lead and thanks for opportunity,  sorry it’s been so long…
