Today we do a GAUNTLET themed workout in preparation for Nolensville’s first CSAUP on Saturday, May 4th (may the fourth be with you). We did below as prescribed. Was going to repeat G,A,U,N,L,E, but only repeated G,A,U due to time constraints. Moseyed to PainGround after “A” to complete remainder of exercises.
G – Gas Pump x 40 [Start in the LBC position and straighten your legs to the Dolly position and then back to the LBC position.]
A – Air Drama x 40 [bodyweight squat with a calf raise at the end of standing up]
U – Underdoggy x 20 [supine pull-up hanging below a swing] – careful of the H2O
N – Nolan Ryan x10 each side [Start in a side plank position with your ungrounded arm extended. Complete a punching motion as if someone, namely Robin Ventura, were under your other arm]
T – The Bruce Merkin x20 [start in regular Merkin Pose with one leg crossed over the other at the ankle. When you come back up on the Merkin switch legs.]
L – Lt Danger x 20 [Lt. Dans plus a merkin. The sequence goes lunge-lunge-squat-merkin] – several PAX lost count on the complexity of the movements.
E – Escalator – 10 Burpees, 20 Tuck Jumps, 30 Merkins, 40 squats, 50 lunge walks (1 per leg). Short lap to end of sidewalk between reps.
T – THUNDERSTRUCK! – done to Thunderstruck by AC/DC. [complete 1 Burpee for every “thunder!” that is heard in the song. Plank during the rest of the song]
And that, my friends, spells GAUNTLET.
Mosey back to parking lot to finish up. Q was going to end 4 minutes early, but who wants that? Hushpuppy sure don’t! Mary requested and led by HushPuppy:
