  • Honoring RunCajunRun plus bonus burpees – from Hokie

    I was honored to get my passport stamped and to journey down to visit with team Sweaty Bells.

    King Kong, Almonaster, Douille, SubPrime, PopALock, Blow Out, Moana and I were all excited to have a guest appearance by Man of The Year Gabrielle 😉

    9 HIM honored RunCajunRun with some running between kettle bell sets and still honored January with 100 Burpees lagniappe while also adding 150 reps with Kettle Bells as follows:

    50 Lunges with Kettle Bells
    .47 mile loop of parking lot
    Baseball toss in plank position (in lieu of boring shoulder taps) while waiting on the SIX aka Hokie

    40 shoulder presses with Kettle Bells
    .47 mile loop of parking lot
    Baseball toss in plank position while waiting on Hokie

    30 chest presses with Kettle Bells
    .47 mile loop of parking lot
    Baseball toss in plank position while waiting on Hokie

    20 rows with Kettle Bells
    .47 mile loop of parking lot with the extra of 10 burpees at each corner plus mid point on long stretch along Magazine
    Baseball toss in plank position while waiting on Hokie

    10 Tricep extensions with Kettle bells
    then 10 burpees before running across parking lot for 10 burpees
    back to the start for 10 more burpees, back across for 10 more and then back to circle for final 10.

    Thanks for endulging me. I enjoyed my trip to the far off land known as SweatyBells and hope I get another return visit to Q in the the 2nd quarter. I also welcome any of you to come visit Monday’s at The Joy at The View and to lead me in a coupon beatdown.

    We closed and journeyed to the other side of the park to cheer on some of our running brothers as they finished their RunCajunRun with 7-13 miles.

  • Short Romp

    YHC asked whether a Misty Mountain beatdown lasts 60 minutes or just 45.  The answer was swift and certain: 45, you $#%^*&!.  Oh well, it was worth a try.  Mosey to the Palm circle for a warm-up: some side straddle hops, imperial walkers, grass grabbers, arm circles, etc.  And then a mosey to the mountain.

    Pyramid blimps: run up first level to 5 burpees, then up a level for 5 burpees and 10 lunges, then to the other end for 5 Bs, 10 Ls and 15 imperial walkers, then up a level for 5 Bs, 10 Ls, 15 IWs and 20 merkins, then to the other end for 5 Bs, 10 Ls, 15 IWs, 20 Ms and 25 plank jacks, then up a level for 5 Bs, 10 Ls, 15 IWs , 20 Ms, 25 PJs and 30 squats.  Continue up the ramp with 10 V-ups (???, not certain, but something that QHC would consider reasonable) at each end till the PAX reaches the top.

    Some Mary: BBCs (big boy crunches: up for 10 count) ICx10, penguins 20xIC, Russian twists 20xIC and maybe another exercise or two.

    Then mosey down the stairs to the benches by the fountain for right leg step ups 15xIC, dips 15xIC,, left leg stup ups 15xIC, incline merks 15xIC and close out with 5 box jumps.

    Count off, name-o-rama, and intentions for those in the wake of Hurricane Delta.  Thanks, JV
