Maybe Poker’s just not your game….

Preamble:

YHC had been wanting to play around with the new workout deck he recently purchased. I had not used this before and sort of made it up as we went along. It all worked out for the best in the end.

Warm-O-Rama:

SSH, Weed Picker, Hillbillies, Sun Gods

The Thang:

Separated the cards into their 4 suits. Diamonds for upper body, Spades for legs, Hearts for Cardio (unsurprisingly) and clubs for core.

YHC drew a card from each stack and the plan was for us to do 4 exercises then mosey for a lap around the circle.

Round 1 – on this one the cardio was a mosey so that was the 4th exercise

King of Diamonds (25 Merkins)

King of Spades (25 Squats)

King of Clubs (25 American Hammer AC)

3 of hearts (Sprint 300 Meters- We fast moseyed around the track)

Round 2

8 of Diamonds (more merkins – 18 this time)

6 of Spades (16 Bonnie Blair AC)

6 of hearts (Bernie around the small track)

7 of clubs (17 LBCs)

Moseyed around the big loop

Round 3

10 of diamonds (incline merkin x 20)

2 of spades (bulgarian split squat 12 AC)

8 of hearts (Squat thrust x 18)

4 of clubs (14 heels to heaven)

Moseyed around the track

Round 4

Jack of Diamonds (dips x 25)

Ace of spades (Calf Raise x 100)

9 of hearts (19 high knees)

Queen of clubs (25 Freddie Mercury AC)

Moseyed around the track

Round 5

5 of Diamonds (15 Hand release merkins)

Queen of spades (monkey humpers x 25)

10 of hearts (Butt kicks – I wasn’t sure on this one so I said Alabama Ass Kickers – x 20 AC – in retrospect they probably intended for us to do the standing butt kicks – I will know for next time)

2 of Clubs (WW2 Situps x 12)

Moseyed around track

At this point there was time for one final round of exercises

9 of Diamonds (Ranger Merkin x 19)

8 of spades (Reverse lunge x 18)

5 of clubs (15 E2Ks AC)

and finally the dreaded burpee card

Queen of hearts (25 burpees – we ran out of time but each completed 10+ burpees)

COT:

We prayed for a host of things and men and their families. Had some good discussions. Had some coffee then it was time to head out.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Even when numbers are a bit light (tends to happen during the first good cold snap) it is always good to be together in the gloom.
