Rtn rocks and head to the field for some animal style soccer. 4 minute increments of various animal movements of 2 teams attempting to hit a ball with your hands (not throw as some where challenged) or feet if able. Apparently YHC learned that if he’s told to not hit a ball to a certain player that’s exactly what he does! All said a lopsided victory for the team in dark colors yet a good workout for all.
One lone wolf runner – Hawg should up to close out the total.
COT
It was a not so humid morning with a tad breeze. I woke up later than expected, but arrived at the AO at 5:10am. I made my rounds to locate spots for our unplanned work out and hoped that I could come up with something worth it that could challenge everyone.

Mosey over to rock pile and pick a medium rock. Since it’s Monday and that means ROCK CITY, all of the following dealt with rocks.
5 stations each
advancement you added another 10 reps each station, which ended in total 150 reps. Sounded better in my head than actually trying to do them. Made adjustments to 5 instead of 10.
150 overhead press
150 curls
150 rolls
150 chest press
150 big boy sit-up without rock
Mosy back to rock pile and walk backwards to home base. Hopefully everyone received a well balanced workout this AM!

Started off with a brief backwards walk around the south end of the track to the parking lot behind the bleachers. Did a short warmup and then mosied over to the small levee behind the admin building.
We did some up and backs over the levee, with each run ending in some derkins (10, 8, 6, 4, 2).
That was followed by a Tabata with some complaints about not having a rock.
6 exercises
8 rounds of 30 seconds work/10 seconds rest

Squats
Flutter kicks

This was all accompanied by the following playlist, that when done right, ends with The Final Countdown finishing you out right at 45 mins.
I woke up this morning at 4:00 am sharp in anticipation of my VQ. I arrived at the AO 5:05 am and walk the area to scout-out the locations for our morning workout.
Once that was figured out I sat quietly on a bench waiting for the arrival of the PAX.
It looked like it was going to be a perfect morning to VQ.
I made a disclaimer about how i get tongue tied and in true fashion I tripped over my words and TOLD the PAX to HURT THEMSELVES 😳……..
Instead of “I’m not a professional push yourself DO NOT HURT YOURSELF!”
Mosey over to a very well light and manicured lawn for Warmorama

Repeat and rinse until you had 1 merkin and 10 big boy sit-ups.
