  • No cars were damaged & Frac possibly broke a sweat – from Hokie

    At 0600 YHC noticed no one had signed up to Q either workout in New Orleans so I took Mothership and took a quick “minute” to decide, based on recent broken windows how to protect our cars.

    We gathered at our normal spot and did a minute each of warm ups with Slow Vigodas followed by grass grabbers and Imperial Walkers.

    We then moseyed about 20 yards towards the peristyle and specifically to 4 sets of benches with two pax per bench.

    With the continued theme of these thugs taking less than a minute to break into cars, we would do the following for one minute each

    First evolution – legs!

    1. L leg step ups
    2. R leg step ups
    3. L leg Bulgarian split squats
    4. Surprise… R L BSS
    5. Bobby Harley’s…
    6. Monkey Humpers
    7. L leg forward lunges
    8. R leg forward lunges
    9. L leg backward lunges
    10. R leg backward lunges

    At this point, my quads were already feeling the leg focus but Frac was complaining he wasn’t sweating and the ladies in the peristyle were working harder than we were, YHC did not allow the Mumblechatter to distract than plan so we did a rinse and repeat to focus on legs for this 1st evolution.

    Next a Tabata with …. ONE MINUTE of work and 15 seconds of rest and the goal was for the Pax to work for the entire minute in each of the 10 rounds. 10 rounds of 1 FULL minute of burpees followed 15 seconds of rest was the plan but modifications seemed to be the plan of most Pax

    Next evolution…. SHOUKDERS

    Another Tabata EASING up on the Pax so only 45 seconds of work and 15 seconds of rest…

    1. Hindu Merkins
    2. Mountain climbers
    3. T—Merkins
    4. Shoulder Taps
    5. Angle grinders

    Rinse & Repeat

    Last evolution

    Only 30 seconds of work, 15 seconds of rest
    10 Rounds
    Burpees

    Thanks for allowing me to Q. Sorry it was too soft. 😜
