  • Afternoon Delight – 2-21-2024 – from Almonaster

    It’s Run Cajun Run season. The men of the Afternoon Delight decided that instead of a pre-designed beatdown, we should focus on miles. So the Q put down his workout sheet and proceeded to call a Mosey.

    We ran around the track through Loyola, cut over to Tulane, and made it to Claiborne. There was a stop at Freret for some uphill incline merkins.

    Then we circled up Claiborne to Audubon, hence circling the two stadiums, and down back through Tulane to Audubon again. Ran the second half of the track and finished at the flag. 4.3 miles was accomplished!

    At the flag the COT was held then Announcements and Prayer.

    QUICK FACTS ABOUT BEARS
    There are around 180,000 to 200,000 brown bears worldwide. Most of them live in Alaska, Canada and Russia where the brown bear can still roam vast areas almost unpopulated by human beings and covered in forests.
    – Burpees – 10 OYO
    The brown bear can reach a weight of between 150 and 370 kilogrammes depending on age, sex and season.
    – LBC’s – 20 IC
    Despite their weight, the animals can cover short distances at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
    – Burpees – 10 OYO
    Brown bears are generally loners who will only seek a mate for short periods.
    – Squats – 20 IC
    At birth, bear cubs are blind and naked.
    – Burpees – 10 OYO
    In the wild, these omnivores spend up to 16 hours a day looking for food, which is reflected in the saying ‘hungry as a bear’.
    – Freddie Mercury’s – 20 IC
    Bears have a particularly good nose: their sense of smell enables them to sniff food at a distance of several kilometres.
    – Burpees – 10 OYO
    Brown bears in the wild are mainly active at dusk and at night.
    – Lunges – 20 IC
    In the wild, brown bears can reach a maximum age of between 20 and 30 years. In captivity, they can get even older.

  • King Kong’s Sweaty Bell Countdown: A Roaring Send-off to 2023! – from King Kong

    As the clock ticked down to the final moments of 2023, a fearless group of fitness enthusiasts gathered at the Audubon Zoo for the ultimate New Year’s Eve workout at 6:30 a.m. sharp…… except a few…..– and what a workout it was! Led by none other than the mighty King Kong, we decided to bid adieu to the year with a 23-rep extravaganza that left us questioning our sanity and laughing our way into 2024.

    We started by warming up those limbs with arm circles, side-straddle hops, halos, around the world, grass grabbers, self love (one your own…. a little redundant), imperial walkers, and hill billies. If our limbs had voices, they would have probably begged for mercy right then and there. But the real fun was just getting started.

    With the zoo as our witness, we moseyed to the stop sign and back, like a herd of fitness-fueled animals on the loose. The Audubon animals probably wondered if they’d been replaced by a new, more energetic species.

    Then came the kettlebell chaos! Curls, squats, little baby crunches (because even crunches need to be cute sometimes), side-straddle hops, reverse curls, alternating lunges – the list seemed endless. Just when we thought we’d mastered the art of swinging a kettlebell, King Kong threw in some unexpected moves like bell taps and sitting overhead presses. Our kettlebells must have been whispering, “What did we ever do to deserve this?”

    The cast of characters, including Jingle Vader, Stork, Strings, Douille, Almonaster, Willie, Subprime, and T-Bone, added their own flair to the festivities. The zoo animals probably joined in the laughter as we attempted manmakers, with King Kong himself leading the charge.

    As the final echoes of kettlebell clangs subsided and the side-straddle hops reached their 23rd glorious rendition, we realized that if we could survive King Kong’s Sweaty Bell Countdown, we could conquer anything the new year threw at us. We ended with the usual COT. We reminded ourselves that we never take our mental and physical health for granted. Here’s to laughter, sweat, and the absurdity of it all – may 2024 be as epic as our last beatdown of 2023!

    Thanks ChanGPT for this backblast.
