Rusty’s “Chop It Up” B-Day Q

Preamble:

It’s my birthday and the question was – will the thunderstorms wreak havoc on today’s Q.  I got there early to scope out how soggy RAP was and confirm available shelter…

Warm-O-Rama:

SSH x15

Windmill x12

Toy Soldier (Circus-style) x10

Cotton Picker x15

Squats (Foley-style) x5

The Thang:

Found some shelter by the gym.  The first part of the beat down.  20 seconds for each exercise, 10 seconds to “chop it up.”  Nine exercises, then run to the stop sign and back.  We did 2 rounds:

• Single-leg burpees – left
• Single-leg burpees – right
• Side lunge pops – left
• Side lunge pops – right
• Mountain Climbers
• Monkey Humpers
• Squat Jacks
• Merkin Jacks
• High Knees

Run to the gazebo at the playground

Same concept, different exercises.  Only 1 set.

• Squats
• LBCs
• Decline Merkins
• High-bench Mountain Climbers
• Dips
• Flutter Kicks
• Incline Merkins

Stayed at the playground where we did “the Foley.”  Each PAX member calls out an exercise, climbs up the play structure and slides down the slide.  After finishing as a group, we ran backwards to the flag.  We finished with a “morning call”, with 5 pull-ups to the groups 5 merkins.  A big variety today and full-body workout.

COT:

Foley’s M is progressing along well with their new addition.  Great news!

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Thanks to everyone who braved the terrible stormy weather for my birthday Q.  It was fun.  We have a great group.
