This A.M. we had a TESLA Model 3 inspired beat down. We had 9 brave men to rise to the challenge. The initials of Tesla were used for three different groupings accomplishing our goal in exactly 45 min.
(Disclosure – some exercise names were used, but per Q discretion, some movements were changed to fit a more rounded routine. Please be advised, no exercise names nor there intended purpose were harmed in this back blast.)
-Warm-up Mosey around the parking lot.
The Thing:
TESLA Model ONE
-Circle up around Q, in cadence.
- Tempo Merkin – 10
- Elvis Meets Forrest in a circle-Referencing the meeting between “Elvis” and “Forrest Gump” – alternative to lunges over a distance. Do your best impression of Forrest walking with leg braces and teaching Elvis his patented moves.
- Side Straddle Hops – 10
- Low Country Crab
- Annie – This exercise instructs pax on the art of clean floors, be warned some pax may break out in song and dance. Hold plank and rotate one arm in a circular motion while holding plank with the opposite arm. Q makes the call on time or repetitions.

First move is a Merkin. 2nd move is right arm high. 3rd move is to reach under and across your body as far as you can. 4th move is to reach high again. 5th move is back to the Merkin. Flapjack with the left and then flapjack until you’re sick of singing “staying alive, staying alive”
