Thankful for Power Steering



Thankful for Power Steering

23 PAX posted (1 went MIA as we ended) to begin the joy of the Christmas season with a stroll through the 12 Days of Christmas.  I thought it went quite well?  I am quite proud of Alf’s parting comment that this holiday season he is thankful for the blessing of Power Steering.  Teared up a little bit when I heard that.  (The weinke was a bit heavy in upper body).  Here we go…..

 

The Thang:

The Disclaimer was issued and we took a slow mosey to the parking lot to circle up for COP lite.

 

COP:

  • IW x 20 IC
  • Slow count merkins. 10 IC

That’s all – we’ll be warm soon.

 

We mosey past the rock pile and pickup a good size lifting rock – – and continue on to the parking lot.

 

All lined up and we begin the following, done in 12 Days of Christmas order (as we progress through the days you do the exercise for that day and then all the previous days):

 

1st Day:  50 backward run, 10 merkin, 10 LBC, 50 forward run

2nd Day:  Squat jack x 2

3rd Day: Ski abs x 3 (military count)

4th Day: Manmaker merkins – 4 each side  [these would prove to be quite troubling by the end]

5th Day:  8ct Burpees x 5

6th Day:  Louganis with Rock x 6

7th Day:  Squat with Rock x 7

8th Day:  Tricep press with Rock x 8

9th Day:  Shoulder Press with Rock x 9

10th Day:  Curls with Rock x 10

11th Day:  Groiners x 11

12th Day:  Off-set Merkins x 12 (6 on each arm)

Then one final round as a refrain.  (I might have heard some mumble chatter when this was called).

I believe we ended up just short of the Merkin Ladder total for merkins

 

We return the rocks and circle up for a few rounds of Mary.

Then mosey back to the launch point.

So simple.

So beautiful.

So moving.

 

Moleskin

It all seemed reasonable at the time of authoring, but YHC found a few of the sequential arm exercises to be somewhat challenging.  A little hard to type.  Alas, all part of the Christmas season.  Good work by all.  And to all a good night! (that’s from the Santa Claus book)

That SUCKED – nice work.

How was it that Hops was either near the front or at the very back of the PAX during each round. Never in the middle.

Go for the win or go for the loss. Or is it cheat like the other pax, or don’t cheat like the other pax? That workout was easy….well, that is, the backwards run was easy. Ski Abs not so bad. Everything else was the pit of misery. Dilly Dilly. I have to stop typing now.

My chest still hurts and is probably going to be immobile tomorrow morning. Thanks.

I noticed you conveniently left of the comment I made that suggested you were pushing 300 years old. That’s going to be an awful amount of burpees at your next birthday.
