  • Sabbath Day! – from Vagabond

    Warmup, jump rope, pax choice with rock, Sunday mornings, plank

  • Spin the Bottle for Burpees – from Fracsac

    5 Pax kicked off the week right by posting to the Renaissance. With the Q sheet empty, YHC assumed that meant the pax deferred to the site Q. Challenge accepted!

    Warmup facing the bacon with regular stuff and ending with a couple rounds of 15 to 1.
    15 SSH and 1 burpee
    15 squats and 1 burpee

    Today is National Travel and Tourism Day. So we toured the Big lake with the Suck at the flowers followed by Step ups and dips at the boardwalk.

    Moved back to the field for spin the bottle. Cones set up on each end about 100 feet apart. 2 balls and a bottle in the middle. All stand around the bottle while 1 pax spins. Who it lands on has to grab a ball and throw it at a pax. If the bottle is between two pax, each grab a ball. All other pax run in the direction of a goal. If hit, 3 burpees for runners. If miss, 3 burpees for throwers.
    Finish with Sunday mornings and COT

    NMM

    Apparently May 7 is the birthday of New Orleans. Now you know.

    Midway through spin the bottle, YHC gave a pass to burpees for the pax that could say the full name of the inventor of the burpee. YHC was disappointed that nobody knew who he was. 10 burpees OYO.

    The 15 to 1 was to recognize the winner of the Kentucky Derby, Mage, that pulled it off with 15 to 1 odds. Maybe Mage was behind the 7 deaths last week?!?!

  • Frac It, I’ll Q! – from Fracsac

    8 Pax kicked off the week right by posting to the Renaissance. With the Q sheet empty, YHC assumed that meant the pax deferred to the site Q. Challenge accepted!

    Warmup facing the bacon with regular stuff and ending with 10 x 8 count body builders.

    Route 66 Vagabond style at the lamp posts. Start with 11 burpees and work down to 1. MoT was running.

    The Suck – 666 style. 3 minutes of 6 SSH, 6 merkins and 6 jump squats over and over. Call out your rounds complete.
    1 minute rest then rinse and repeat. Penalty if first round number not exceeded. Lucky for the Pax, Catfish came through!

    Mosey to field for some 4 on 4 frisbee passing action. Cones set up in a circle, 5 passes equals 1 point. Rules a little sketchy, but some good passes and all were sweaty in the end.

    Finish off with Sunday Mornings.

    Great stuff! Thanks for posting and for the fabulous Coffeteria that followed.

  • Something About Mary – from Heisenberg

    Having worked out at Wolfpack on Friday with Gabby (still waiting on backblast) and Mothership with Rudy on Saturday, my arms and legs were a little sore. My core was not, so with the intent to make my core sore I devised an ab-centric workout. Arriving with 45 seconds to spare at the NOMA fountain I announced the theme to Tool, Vagabond and Catfish. Abdominal workouts and abdominal surgeries are in conflict, so Catfish went for a run.
    Everything was “in cadence”.

    Warm-up Imperial Walkers, Abe Vigoda’s, Grass Grabbers, (We were joined by Fracsac and Triple Shift each of whom were four minutes late) Arm Circles, on our faces for W’s, Y’s and T’s. To the top of the NOMA steps for a Deep Sea Diver with shoulder taps
