11.29.18 – Increased Gravity at the Pound

Image result for macarena

Conditions: 37 degrees felt forgiving after the past few mornings. The PAX are thankful for the conditions and the chance to get a good workout!

3rd Degree led the PAX in a pre-party consisting of five pull-ups, five plank jacks, American Hammers and six Iron Mikes on the minute for 10 minutes. Participants included Creeper, Soccer Mom, 3rd Degree, Numbtucks and Cheese Whiz. The pre-party was kind enough to assist Barney in placing the coupons for the Thangs ahead.

14 PAX became one with The Gloom including: 3rd Degree, Soccer Mom, Cheese Whiz, Stats, Pocahontas, Sprinkles, Mic Drop, Inspector Gadget, Creeper, Numbtucks, Tebow, Altidore, Nimbus 1500, and Barney Fievel (QiC).

Warm up:

After a quick half mile mosey, the PAX performed the following exercises to the cadence of “Here Comes the Hotstepper” by Ini Kamoze in constant motion:

  • Side to side overhead claps
  • Imperial walkers
  • Iron Mikes
  • Squats
  • Slow SSH

We’re nice and toasty for a new Thang!

Thang 1: Calculated Coupons

PAX line up with one large coupon (20 pounds) and one small coupon (5 pounds). A second 5 pound coupon awaits each PAX across the parking lot.

PAX begin with Hair Burners across the parking lot using the 20 pounder. Once there, the 20 pounder is left and the 5 pounder is transported back to the starting position via the crab walk. Finding themselves with two 5 pounders, each PAX cross the parking lot once more via lunges with one coupon in each hand.

Thang 2: Rock Hard Macarena

This is pretty simple. We performed the “Macarena” to the music with a 5 pound coupon in each hand. If anyone felt humiliated, their humiliation was quickly replaced with sore shoulders and arms.

Thang 3: Coupon Dodgeball

20 pounder = 4 points

5 pounder = 1 point

PAX count off into 1’s and 2’s to create two teams. All coupons are placed on the center line. Everything is performed while crab walking. PAX transport coupons back to their team’s line via the crab walk. PAX are able to take back as many coupons as they’re able each attempt. The side with the most points after 5 minutes wins!

Team 2 brought home the W today with a score in the neighborhood of 25-8. Way to show everyone that Team 2 is actually #1, or something.

One more half mile mosey finds us ready for some Mary.

Mary

Circled up for some GM and WMH OYO. 15 seconds of deep breathing closed us out.

Post party consisted of 33 derkins and was attended by 3rd Degree, Barney Fievel, Soccer Mom and Nimbus 1500.

1 Corinthians 1:17 – For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
