  • Sweaty Bells: Equatorial Edition – from Bolt

    24 days had passed since my trek to the Equator disrupted consistent F3 workouts and the Fartsack follies began, so for my third workout I granted Kong’s request to Q. Arriving at a timely 6:29:43, Satchmo and I moseyed to the PAX eager for a timely start, as I called out the disclaimer. Joining the circle and fumbling with the promised audio we began with suuuper-slow Abe Vigodas followed by bat wings, SSH, and shoulder taps.

    From our home base at the statue we carried our bells to the equatorial region formerly known as little oak alley.

    PAX were stoked to do 11s between the hemispheres starting with goblet squats at the Southern Hemisphere light poles and merkins at the Northern Hemisphere light poles. Moving south to north was accomplished like a sea lion (bear crawl) and moving north to south as a Galapagos crab (walk) for some extra misery as the music played, both taunting us and inspiring us; I did promise “minimal=zero” running.

    YHC was pleased to see everyone living out Darwin’s theory: adapting to overcome.

    Mosey back to our local naturalist, JJ Audubon’s statue to circle up and finish with Mary as diverse as Galapagos flora and fauna: each PAX pick their favorite core exercise and AMRAP for 2:15, nonstop. COT; thanks for letting me lead and breaking the fartsack follies.

  • Get on yer belly – from Bieber

    There is usually one moment of every beatdown that leads to a memorable moment for “naming purposes”. In this case I was ridiculed for asking the PAX to get on “their belly” so we could do some Superman exercises. Ridicule can be a great teacher…never again will I make that mistake.

    For the beatdown…10 PAX showed up for a chilly gloom in Uptown New Orleans. With Run Cajun Run miles still a priority for most of us, this beatdown consisted of miles with some exercises sprinkled in.

    Warmup: SSH X 20, Windmill X 10, GG X 10, Imp Squat Walkers X 15, 10 Burpees.

    The Thang: To the track for a lap with five stops along the way…
    Stop 1: 10 Merkins IC, 20 Squats IC
    Stop 2: 10 Burpees
    Stop 3: 20 RL Step Ups, 10 Incline Merkins, 10 LL Step Ups, 10 Dips
    Stop 4: 10 Burpees
    Stop 5: 10 Merkins IC, 20 Squats IC

    Back to Oak Alley for some 7’s…Merkins on both sides of a longish run/jog/sprint (ambiguous F3 style)

    Under the Pavilion for some Mary: LBCs, Hello Dolly, Freddie Mercury, On Yer Belly for Some Supermans

    Back to the Flag

    Thank you as always for the chance to lead. For all of the PAX traveling…be safe. To all of us…embrace what today gives you, be a light to those around you…even if it’s just your family (especially if its just your family).
