It was an interesting start to the day as YHC waited for the clown car that never showed. 519 hit and YHC and Kelly were texting back and forth about picking the other up in a scramble, but instead crossed paths like strangers in the night. YHC showed up with 1 minute to spare and the RT crew showed up three deep in three different cars. In all, we had 5 BEASTS that showed up to own the dark hours. Well, most of us showed up on-time anyways, Mcgruff showed up about 5 minutes late, he was the supposed to be the captain of the clown car this morning but woke up with 7 minutes to start. Nice work getting out anyway McGruff! It was an interesting start to the day, but we still got it in. According to the Frogs in the rock pile, here is how it went down.
COP:
SSH, Imp Walkers, Ukranian Soldiers, Arm circles big and small, cherry pickers, dead man hang, stretch hands high, then back, then right/left. Merkins, hold plank, left hand high, right hand high, LBC, flutter kicks, rosalita, dying cockroaches. flip it over for some Superman’s, scorpion kicks, and into a little light broga. Start off in Fudd’s wife position, then to Wilson’s wife, right foot forward to hand, hands high, right hand high, back to Fudd, then to Wilson, left foot forward, hands high, left hand high. (I thought mixing in some good stretching and Broga to the SOPs would be a different but nice start to the week, I know my hips enjoyed it). Mosey to top of the hill and back down to rock pile, select coupon carefully.
The THANG:
Before heading out, I wrote down 14 different exercises to do with a coupon and put them in my bright orange LL Bean hat. The plan was to work through as many of the exercises as possible Tabata style. We work through an exercise for a full minute, then mosey to the fire hydrant halfway up the hill and back. Take turns pulling exercises from the hat without stopping. The exercises were as follows all with Coupon.
- Thrusters
- WW2
- Curls
- Skull Crushers
- Rock Squats
- Rock swings
- Rock Copters
- Rock Merkins
- Overhead Press
- Overhead leg extensions (hold coupon high and extend above your head while legs extend just to ground and back)
We ended up getting through all but two before we hit time. I thought it was fun to do something a little different this morning and put some variety of stretching/Broga mixed in with a different style of workout than the norm. More of this to come as YHC looks to expand how he leads.
COT:
Conversations on how to get our numbers back up to 10+ at SH. We know a lot of us have a lot going on right now, but how to better shield lock each other and get our brothers that aren’t on IR back out. Congrats to everyone that did the Glow for Galactosemia 5k yesterday, we know that probably had something to do with the lighter numbers also. Prayers of healing for all of our brothers on IR. A lot of us recovering from different ailments, hope you guys get back to normal soon and we get to see you guys out sooner than later. Prayers for motivation for the brothers that just haven’t had the drive to get out lately. Prayers that we all have a great week and to be the best leaders we can at home, in our careers, and in our communities. Great job today gents, you all put in some work. Way to win the Morning, that’s how we win the day!
