Mosied up to the pizza hut pavilion for the thang.
Thang:
To celebrate 244 years of America the beautiful the PAX was commissioned to complete 244 reps of each exercise listed, and after each exercise the PAX would mosie around the side walking trail to loop back to the pavilion.
Side Straddle Hops
Squats
Jane Fondas (122 each leg)
Little Baby Crunches
Calf Raises
Split Squats
Flutter Kicks (both legs count as one)
Single Leg Lifts (122 each leg)
The PAX got as far as the Jane Fondas before we had to drop the mosing around the loop, and then eventually ran out of time afterthe 244 calf raises.
QIC was a little bit to enthusiastic making the list. Maybe because I knew high caliber/overachieving HIM would be showing up. Do not worry, the list will be completed soon.
Announcement:
It was a pleasure to have Swingline join us from F3 Franklin and he also brought an FNG (Parachute Pants) with him, which was also a pleasure to welcome him to F3.
Workout to pay homage to my B-school classmate (Phil Black, Navy SEAL, Yale / HBS, Firefighter, GREAT AMERICAN) who was TWICE rejected by the Sharks on Sharktank, yet invited back for third try. His first attempt was “Fitdeck” (no, not Fitbit)- which he eventually sold for a nice penny, I’m sure. We used Fitdeck for our workout today.
PAX (10) – Pumkin Spice, Blue Mule, Siri, High Viz, Right Said Fred, Bad Boy, Michelin Man, Drago, Cub Cadet (QIC)…and wow I feel like I’m forgetting somebody.
Gloom – minimal. 70 and humid. Nothing to complain about.
The Thang: Rounds of 4 cards each (Full body, upper, middle, lower), reps cary from 10-25, some for distance. Between rounds sprint 200M, jog back, next round. Exercise cards included: Regular Push-ups (Merkins), Bonnie Blairs, High Knees, Freddie Mercurys, Crab walk, LBC, Wide Arm Push-ups, Lunges, Staggered Arm Push-ups, Kick-backs, Squat Thrusts, Flutter kicks, Side Legs Lifts, Burpees, Negative Push-ups, Squats, Mountain Climbers, Reverse Curls

Lunge back to parking lot for Mary.
COT: OM took us out.
NMM: It was great to have a good size group at ye ol’ Racetrack this morning. The PAX seemed to appreciate an upper body focused workout per Black Widow’s special requirements.
Low 60s made for a welcome respite from the 70s and high humidity we’ve been experience lately.

Thang:
3 well-known classical pieces served as the soundtrack for our day. Not exactly the most pump you up and get you inspired to work hard music, but they still served our purposes effectively. CCR served as our Spotify maestro.
1 – 1st movement of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata
Slow ‘n Low squats the entire piece without stopping. To keep the musical explanation simple, the piano has a “1 2 3 4 5 6” pattern the entire piece. Down on the first 3 beats, up on the 2nd 3 beats. Roughly 140 total.
Ran a capri lap after the piece.
2 – 1812 Overture – As noted previously on Slack, this piece is popular at American patriotic festivals, leading to the popular and incorrect belief that is has something to do with the war of 1812. It was composed by Tchaikovsky to commemorate the 1812 Russian defeat of Napoleon and the invading French.
18 Plank Jax, 12 Merkins, 18 Mountain Climbers, 18 Burpees – entire superset X2, then run capri lap. RnR until piece is complete
3 – Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto no. 2 – 2nd movement
Melody serves as the verse in Eric Carmen’s 1975 hit “All By Myself.” He believed Rachmaninoff’s music was in the public domain by that time, which it was, in the US only. Rachmaninoff’s estate informed Carmen that his compositions were still under copyright protection internationally, and so Carmen agreed to a 12% royalty outside the US.
Piece was composed in 1900, which was the also the same year the modern zeppelin first took flight — so we did some BLIMPS. Two rounds of BLIMPS, then run a capri lap. RnR until piece is complete.
