B.E.A.C.H. B.O.D.S. :beach_with_umbrella: :muscle:

AO: cruelhall
Q: Toothless
PAX: Deep State, EZ-Go, Pedialyte, Accounts Receivable, Donkey Hammer, blackwidow
FNGs: None
COUNT: 7
CONDITIONS: Steadily soggy…but we had it made in the shade (literally) of the Cruel Hall pavilion :classical_building:

PLAYLIST: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4zyFdHWdnCRvbNwafZcrMI?si=467e64ecea4d467b

WARMUP:
– 30 x SSH
– 10 x Willy Mays Hays
– 15 x High Knees OYO
– 15 x Butt Kickers OYO
– 10 x Carrot Pullers (pka Cherry Pickers, which makes no sense)
– 10 x Windmills

THE THANG: BEACH BODS :beach_with_umbrella: :muscle:

PAX split into 2 groups, switching off as runners for a rotation timer while the other group busts out the reps below. All PAX have to complete all reps, group waits for the 6 to transition to the next exercise.

Travel on blacktop: Mosey down, bear crawl across, bernie back, shuffle across. 2 laps each rotation.

Big boy sit-ups x 50
Euro steps x 50
Atomic merkins x 50
Crab jacks x 50
Happy crunchy frogs x 50

Modify travel to replace bear crawl with shuffle across, still x2 laps

Bulgarian split squats x 50
Outlaws x 50
Dry docks x 50
Smurf jacks x 50

MOLESKINE: The workout and tunes were admittedly the opposite vibe of the surroundings, but it was a good lift and it proved the point that you’ve gotta put in the work before you get to enjoy the results. Those BEACH BODS will be better on Spring Break for having spent the morning in the rainy Gloom today.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– brewsday next week
– Murder Mile at the end of the month at greenmachine

COT:
– Prayers for family coming in town, speed of life is fast
– Prayers for a cousin with a new baby, entering parenthood
– Prayers for school decision and family conversations on the topic
– Prayers for a pregnant wife, that nausea continues to abate

YHC shared that we just got back from a trip to visit my wife’s grandpa whose wife had just passed away. They had been married almost 60 years. Reminder to the PAX that we’re not guaranteed any time at all, and to take a moment of gratitude for their spouse and share an extra word of encouragement or an I love you today.

It’s always an honor and a joy to join you gents out in Crieve Hall – thanks for the warm (ish) welcome and I look forward to next time!
