Pre-Final Four workout at Stonewall

QIC: Skidmark

PAX: Big Stick, Hambone, FTTAL, Black Lung, Just Cheese, Deep Dish, 3rd Person, Venus

It was a relatively cold March morning as a few PAX came out early on Final Four Saturday.  As usual, FTTAL nearly ran over the group while trying to pull into his parking space just before the buzzer.

Warm-o-rama: SSH, baby arm circles, seal claps, air presses, chest to ground merkins, low and slow squats

We started out easy with a slow lap around the park.  In order to add some difficulty, we added a 18lb medicine ball which the group passed from front of the line to the back and the final person indian ran back to the front.  About 1/2 way through we stopped at a bridge to do some leg raises.  After 1 loop around the park we stopped at the playground.

Hillevens:  Merkins at the top, Pull-ups at the bottom.  In true ABEH fashion, black lung took a minute to invite a buddy of his who was out doing pullups with a group of Nashville rock climbers.

Once we were done it was coupon indian run to the main building where we did 3 sets each of a wheelbarrow relay up and down the entry way stairs.

Then it was coupon indian run to the short track 1 block south of the park for a Dora 1-2-3, featuring Merkins, Lunges, and LBCs. As we had 9 total, we split into groups of three and did 150, 300, 450 of each exercise.  Following, Dora we coupon ran back to the parking lot for some mary.

The Circle Merk: Pax circled facing inward. All PAX began doing AMRAP merkins while the first PAX performed 5 merkins with the medicine ball under the right hand, 5 under the left hand, and then passed it to the PAX on his left until all had completed the exercise. It was a bit awkward at first, but when the last PAX finished we were all relieved.

Then it was a quick succession of flutter kicks, Mariah’s, and JLos to finish the morning.

Thanks to everyone for coming out this morning and giving me the opportunity to lead!
