Bench Warmers

AO: atlantis
Q: Firefox
PAX: Sally, Toothless, Pole Dancer, Three Stooges
FNGs: None
COUNT: 5
CONDITIONS: No complaints

WARMUP: Many thanks to Three Stooges and Sally who joined me for 10 minutes of mindful breathing/meditation prior to starting. From there, we did a short parking lot mosey and stretching.

THE THANG: Despite the 2 months of lead time, all my theme ideas were a bit half-baked; so, I went simple. 4 sets of exercises, each repeated 3 times.

Set 1: The Sequence plus Broad Jumps
– 40x Plank Jacks
– 30x Mountain Climbers
– 20x Merkins
– 20x FLBACs
– 20x BLBACs
– 20x Air Presses
– Broad Jump across the short dimension of the parking lot and back

Set 2: Time to ride the bench!
– Step-ups with knee raise
– Bulgarian split squats
– One-legged stands (from seated position, while holding one leg off the ground, use your other leg to raise yourself to standing)
First round we did 20 reps per leg, then 15 reps, then 10 reps.

Set 3: Keep the benches warm! 30 seconds on, 10 seconds off, rotating through the following:
– Bench flutters (with core engaged and seated on the ground facing the bench, hold one foot above the bench seat and the other below… then swap their positions)
– Decline mountain climbers (feet on bench seat, hands on ground)
– Copenhagen plank right side (PAX were encouraged to pick a modification that worked for them. Mine was with both feet on the bench, single forearm down on the ground, doing small knee crunches with my non-supporting leg)
– Copenhagen plank left side

Set 4: Did I forget to do any hollow body holds? 40sec on, 15 sec off… 3 times through. The last hold was challenging.
– Shoulder touch plank jacks
– Hollow Body Hold

MOLESKINE: This was my first time trying to incorporate meditation at both the beginning and end of a Q. Looking for feedback from the PAX (particularly Three Stooges and Sally, but definitely chime in Toothless and Pole Dancer) on how that went for you.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Game Night 3/12
– Murder Mile

COT:
– Everyone shared.
– Everyone took 2 minutes of silence for prayer intentions, let their thoughts run their course, and then clear their minds.

Always an honor and privilege to lead, gentlemen!

Bring Your Own Kid Workout at The Knoll

AO: the-knoll
Q: Wolfpack , morning star, Sooie
PAX: Ex-Pat, El Capitan, AAA, Three Stooges, Merchant, DB, Pebbles, Firefox, 2.0’s:  Big Red, Link, Bumblebee, Tonks, FishBiscuit, AwesomeAxolotl, Birdman (2.0), Wildflower (2.0)
FNGs: 2 Birdman (2.0), Wildflower (2.0)
COUNT: 19
CONDITIONS: Warm with a sprinkle

WARMUP: stretching and motivators led by Bumblebee and Morningstar

THE THANG:
Thang1: 11’s
Burpees on one side, Big boy sit-ups on the other
Bunny hops one direction, Bear crawl the other

Thang 2: Old school movie time
Split up in pairs (Dads and 2.0)
One pax is the VCR
One pax is the Remote
Start opposite of one another. The VCR is doing the exercise while the Remote controls the speed. If the remote is running forward, VCR goes fast. If remote is running backwards, VCR goes slow. If remote pauses, the VCR holds the current position. Switch places for 60 seconds on/60 seconds rest.

Movies watched:
– Merkins
– Squats
– Big boy sit-ups

Thang 3: Infection!
2.0s were the infected and ran around tagging PAX to infect them. Three rounds with alternating movement types each round.
R1: Pax has to run backwards
R2: Pax has to run sideways
R3: Pax has to skip

Thang 3: Bear Tag Royal
All pax in Bear crawl. If you get your hand slapped your out and have to stand on the side and do your exercise of choice until the end (didn’t see any burpees?)

I believe FishBiscuit and AwesomeAxolotl were our champions!

MOLESKINE: Criss-cross-applesauce!

Thank you Morningstar for sharing a delightful message. A reminder to all 2.0s to encourage and share delight in every action. And a reminder to us dads to seek out and nourish that delight in our 2.0s.
