As YHC was contemplating the Q for today, the Palindrome date kept rolling around in my head. The result was a workout celebrating the numbers of today’s date. Unfortunately, only 7 PAX got out of the fartsack (instead of one more to make it 8) to indulge in the Palindrome Fun!
The Thang
13 Side Straddle Hops, 13 Sumo Squats, 13 Baryshnikovs (ea. leg), 13 Imperial Walkers i.c. Rinse & Repeat
Cherokee Run to Nature Center Stump area.
The normal arrangement of stumps had been moved for some purpose, so Scout had received a request from the nature center for some help restoring them to their rightful place. In an act of community service, the PAX proceeded with the next exercise which was to put the stumps back where they were supposed to be. The smaller ones were carried around the fire pit for a little extra work, but most had to be rolled because of their size. Lots of mumblechatter ensued about Scout making the request and then not posting (some excuse about going to the lake with his son and a promise to do water aerobics there?!)
11″s: Jump Ups and Dips on the newly placed stumps
Mosey to Fireplace for some Mary: 26 LBC, 26 Low Dolly, 26 Low Leg Raise, 26 Box-cutters i.c.
Feature Exercise! Palindrome Pyramid. Start with 8-1-8-1-8 in sequence of arm circles, burpee, arm circles, 8-count body-builders, arm circles. Repeat by adding another 8-1-8-1-8 to the first (e.g. 16-2-16-2-16) then repeat up to 40-5-40-5-40. Those arm circles do add up!
Climb the Nature Center Hill with lunges.
Mosey to Fire Station parking lot for Mary: 26 LBCs, 26 High Dolly, 26 Heels-to-Heaven, 26 Dying Cockroaches i.c.
Cherokee Run back to start with 5 merkins off the back
Partner up: one wall sits while the other runs to Roberts Drive and back. Repeat until time is up.
