  • Lending a Helping Hand

    A couple weeks ago I helped out my fellow LVCC member Screw Top and we swapped Q’s. Unfortunately Screw Top went and had a minor setback and was not ready to return for his Q so I once again helped him out and took over my original Q slot. On a typical muggy morning 14 PAX, including 2 FNG’s, joined me in the gloom. Disclaimer was given and off we moseyed to the practice track.

    Warm up:

    • SSH x 20 IC
    • Windmills x 10 IC
    • Arm circles fwx and rev x 10 each IC
    • Grass grabbers x 15 IC
    • Self love x 15 IC

    Tha Thang #1:

    For the first portion of the beatdown we stayed in the circle for a routine I created a couple weeks ago. It was time for the second attempt of Red Light/Green Light. All red light exercises would be static and all green light exercises would be dynamic. Exercises were called out by the Q and we would immediately change exercises once the randomized timer called out red light or green light.

    Red light exercises:

    • Al Gore
    • High plank
    • L side plank
    • R side plank
    • Low plank
    • R leg lunge hold
    • L leg lunge hold
    • Supine leg hold
    • Reverse plank
    • Calf raise hold

    Green light exercises:

    • Mountain climbers
    • LBCs
    • Merkins
    • Lateral/cross-over lunges
    • High knees
    • R single leg wife pleasers
    • L single leg wife pleasers
    • Penguins
    • Crunchy frog
    • Freddy Mercury’s

    After this we moseyed to Roosevelt Mall where PAX splint into 2 groups for an Indian Run to the steps in front of NOMA.

    Tha Thang #2:

    At that time we partnered up for some Dora 1,2,3. Combined total of 100 merkins, 200 squats, and 300 LBCs. While PAX #1 performed the exercise, PAX #2 bunny hopped the steps and performed 3 burpees at the top of the steps. I may have overshot this one as I know my group only got halfway through the LBCs before it was time to mosey back to the flag. Although I know multiple groups were able to complete all reps so T-claps to you guys.

    Circle up for countoff, name-o-rama, annoucement, named our 2 FNG’s, intentions, and COT. Welcome Blazing Saddles (had a tough time coming up with that name but props to Amnesty for nailing it) and Choppa. Can’t wait to lead again.
