Confidently I can proclaim “You never know what you’re going to get” with us. Or what you’re going to hear. What I thought might be a slow day at Granny’s was anything but.
Warmup – 10x IC
– Arm circles
– Sealjacks
– High knees
– Torso twists
– Air presses
There may have been one more, but I can’t remember, because it was at this point that the side chatter got the best of me (and led to some highly entertaining if not quickly devolving mumble). What started out as something along the lines of “asking Jose how his vacation was” became a disclosure about logging into Netflix. The retort focused on why one might long into Netflix on vacation. Followed by a response centered on “30 minutes before bed”. YHC was trying to maintain decorum and count cadence, so I only heard part of the next few seconds, but it definitely included a word that begins with “P” and ends with “Hub.” Before law and order was restored, there were mentions of “family” (fake?) home videos and subgenres, only to be topped off with a Thang that began proper with “Scissor kicks.” Even though we were not at Scissor-central (the Treen center) or with King Scissormeister (Shooter).
Add in more discussion about the existence of heat lightning, a warning that we were indeed too loud too early, and the sight of Jose power walking / moseying past us, and today was one for the memory banks.
Thang
Mosey around Old Mandeville to the lake, stopping at every block to build on the Acronym theme for the week. We had BLIMPS and BOMBS, now we added STAIRS. In true stair-stepping fashion, the first block was just “S”, the next added “T”, until we were at the lake.
5 Scissor kicks
10 T merkins
15 Alternating side squats
20 Imperial walkers
25 Rosalitas
30 Scissor kicks
Halftime: Rip’s steps – 2 calf raises on each step.
On the way back, back down the STAIRS, peeling off one letter/exercise until we were back at base, where a one minute plank wrapped us up.
COT, NOR, Announcements, Prayer, in that order. We continue to lift us SOGO, Inga, and added all those starting back with school.
Gents, thank you for donating to my ACS cause, and please consider doing so if you have not. Each $1 donated is a burpee or some other hellspawn activity that I will do, cursing you along the way.
Mornings like this one are why I don’t always dread a 4:30 alarm. You all make it fun. As I noted to Steve, Jose is the spark, HogsBreath brings gallons of gasoline, and Bushwhacker is the big ‘ol fan. The rest of us just need to get out of the way!
