  • Fore! – from Landing Strip

    I thought I was dusting off an oldie-but-goodie with a morning run/workout through Audubon Golf Course, but low and behold MacGyver beat me to it a week or so ago. Nevertheless, we persevered…

    Warmup
    We moseyed over to in front of the clubhouse for the following exercises:
    -20 x SSH
    -15 x Forward Arm Circles
    -15 x Self Love

    Tha Thang
    We then moseyed through the course, hole-by-hole. Each hole was accompanied by an exercise, with reps to match the # of the hole. But we waited for the 6 to finish that # of exercises before moving on. Make sense? Yeah, it was kind of confusing out there as well.

    Here were the exercises:
    1. Burpee(s)
    2. Diamond Merkins
    3. Mountain Climbers
    4. Wide Arm Merkins
    5. Peter Parker
    6. Incline Merkins
    7. Parker Peter
    8. Decline Merkins
    9. Air Presses
    10. LBCs
    11. Flutter Kicks
    12. LBTs
    13. Hello Dollies
    14. J-Los
    15. High Planks (didn’t get to these)
    16. Low Planks (didn’t get to these)
    17. Mission Impossible (didn’t get to these)
    18. Big Boy Situps

    We were a few minutes late back to the flag, and there were some stragglers / bathroom breakers, but all in all, a solid workout wherein 5k+ was covered!

  • Uptown Bakers Dozen – from Fracsac

    YHC was alerted to a Down Range Pax needing an Uber to a beat down. Being the hospitable type, YHC volunteered to take said Pax to the Bird Cage.

    Lucky for YHC the Bird Cage needed a Q.

    Arriving early, the normal well lit alley of trees was found to be dark, so no go there. Grab some cones and set up along walking path.

    Not having made it uptown in awhile, new faces were seen. It’s good to move around!

    At 0530 disclaimer was given followed by a mosey to the brick area at the entrance to the alley of darkness. Normal warmup, then mosey to cones.

    First up – Lucky 7 BLIMPS

    7 burpees at first cone, 6 at second, and so forth. After 1 burpee run the parking lot loop and back and wait for the 6. Continue with Lunges, imperial walkers, merkins, plank jacks and squats.

    During Lucky 7s O’doul’s pulled me aside and told me I needed to step things up and that my workout was weak. I pretended that I couldn’t hear him, deafness is a great crutch at times. He hung back with me to push me, tempting me with next seasons fig harvest. Better step it up! This guy is a beast!

    Next up, suicide burpee 11s.

    Do a burpee, run back to start line. Run up to 2nd cone for two burpees, run back to start line. Continue until 11 burpees.

    Times up, thank goodness.

    COT

    NMM

    YHC had to get Chew Toy back to his hotel, so coffee was missed with the Uptown crew. I’ll be back!

    Unfortunately we only got to 94 burpees, but pax were told to feel free to do the additional 6 on their own….

    Joking aside, O’Doul’s really is becoming a beast. He pushed hard and never quit. Brown Bag is raising a solid young man and I’m honored to have had the opportunity to lead.

  • Whatever It Takes to Win a Race – from King Kong

    Before I arrived at the AO, I made a stop to drop off couple coupons in the front of the statue at Audubon Zoo. At 5:30 a.m. 15 Pax gathered at our imaginary flag. I gave my disclaimer and then headed towards the grass field in front of Audubon Zoo with few warm-ups in cadence: self-love, windmills, low slow squats, SSHs, Hillbillies, and Imperial Walkers.

    After our warm-ups, we moseyed to the statue at the Zoo. Upon Seaman’s request, we did reverse arm-circles and forward arm-circles. Then we did the following:

    Thang 1
    Hand release Merkins x 15 in slow cadence
    Lunges x 15 in cadence
    LBCs x 15 in cadence
    We formed 2 lines and Indian Ran to Magazine Street and back with the coupon. The PAX at the front of the line was carrying the brick.

    Thang 2
    Incline Merkins x 15 in slow cadence
    Squats x 15 in cadence
    American Hammers x 20 in cadence
    Indian Ran to Magazine Street and back…. except this time it’s a race. Losers did 5 burpees. With that in mind, G-Spot just took off with one of the coupon.

    Thang 3
    Decline Merkins x 10 in slow cadence
    Step Ups x 20 in cadence
    Crunchy Frogs x 20 in cadence
    Indian Ran to Magazine Street and back with the coupons.

    Thang 4
    Decline Shoulder Taps x 15 in cadence
    Sitting position with over head claps x 15 in cadence
    Flutterkicks x 15 in cadence

    Thang 5
    Another race!!! We formed 2 lines in a plank position. The coupon was located with the last Pax in line. After he pulled through the brick to the next Pax, he got up and ran to the front of the line and planked. Rinse and repeat until the entire team got past the third light post. Losers did 5 burpees.

    Thang 6
    Final race!!! We formed 2 lines in a standing position. The coupon started off with the last Pax in line. After the Pax did an overhead press, he passed the coupon to the next Pax and ran to the front of the line. Rinse and repeat until the entire team got back to the stop sign by the statue. We were all winners, and everyone did 5 burpees.

    Circled up in front of the Zoo with some Mary’s: Hello Dolly’s x 15 in cadence, Ukraine x 20 in cadence, Protractors.

    Moseyed back to the flag for some COT.

    We prayed for my friend John with his speedy recovery after his cancer surgery. We prayed for Tenderloin with a successful, smooth surgery this Friday. We also prayed for safe travels for family and friends who are traveling and rounding up summer vacations. Finally, we asked Sky Q to continue to give us physical and mental strength so that we can continue to lead in our communities.

  • Angie’s List will check you for Ticks – from Sandbar

    YHC has been in a constructive state of mind as of late and bricks seemed to be just the thing. Bonus is having my 2.0s leave the the comfort of the AC for 10 minutes to load my truck the night before.

    Warmup – 10 grass grabbers IC. That’s it.

    Mosey to the truck to pickup bricks. Mosey with the bricks to the levee.

    Recent rain had kept the levee board from mowing, or the inspection guy has been on vacation. Grass was high and wet. Much grousing among the PAX re: snakes, rats and ticks. Angie’s List was particularly interested in the ticks and where they might end up.

    We did 7’s. Brickbys at the bottom and squat thrusters at the top. Each PAX had to blaze a trail through the tall grass to the top of the levee and back down and apparently stuck to their trail after it was made. When we finished, there were these neat lines up and down the levee like a crop circle bar code. Well done gentlemen!

    Mosey with the bricks back to the zoo. Pair up for Dora – 100 merkins, 200 floyd maywethers (with bricks), 300 LBCs (with bricks).

    After, we had a few minutes left for people’s chair wonderbras and dodo birds on the wall of the zoo, with the bricks.

    Mosey back to the flag for COT.

  • Frac Style Football at WPM – from Fracsac

    Frac week continued with a Q by YHC at WPM. 18 strong set out following a disclaimer. Circle up for some warmup stuff in the Rosy Palm Court. Count off in 1s and 2s. Then mosey to the Mountain for a two column Peoples run. Once up top, knocked out 3 x 10 Burpees EMOM, then back down the mountain where we set up cones and played keep away with the football where 5 complete passes was a point, two hand touch style.
    Mosey back to flag for COT.

    It was great to make it uptown to see some brothers YHC hasn’t seen in a while!

  • Extra Skinny – from Tinkles

    Keeping the skinny fresh isn’t easy. The pax seemed up for minor wrinkle so I went for it. The pace was a bit quicker and the Indian lines were never even but in the end it was a good workout.

    Warm up: SSH, Arm circles forward and back, Grass grabbers.

    Indian run to the bridge with an ab break for the 6 to catch up. Jog sprint alternating to the U drive in front of Tulane.

    Partner up for partner Dora. 100 burpees, 200 Floyd Mayweathers, 300 squats. Called early for time.

    Alternate forward and backward run to grassy knoll for some more Mary.

    3/4 mile Indian Run back to the flag.

    Count off, nameorama, intentions. Thanks to Landing Strip for picking up the next Skinny Q. Sorry if you posted and I didn’t record you. If you read this and let me know, I’ll buy you a beer!

    Thanks

  • Meh – from Tinkles

    It started out well, got bogged down in the middle, and finished ok. I blame the train and the wind but really was probably poor directions for the modified 11’s at the levee. It’s too complicated to explain here which means it probably won’t work in the gloom! If you got it, you had a solid workout. If you didn’t, you got some extra ab work in. Better luck next time!
