For all you young whippersnappers who think the Fishing Hole is for old farts…think again!! The initial launch led by Chelms and the 2nd one led by Yours Truly has firmly established THE FISHING HOLE as No Place (Country) for Old Men (picking up from the movie title). 14 of us covered about 1.8 miles – most of which was vertical or uphill. We mixed in a ton of reps for various Merkins, Burpees, and other F3 favorites. So the Fishing Hole has an open invitation for those who want to give us a try with the theme of low mileage and high variety of station to station boot camp workouts – and no 10 counts allowed!
Warmup: SSH, Merkins, Squats, Hillbillies (modified Imperial Walker), 5 Burpees. Mosey to Station 1
Station 1 (Acquatic Center): Lined up at the bottom and performed multiple exercises (approximately 8 sets including Merkins, Mary, Jump squats, Burpees, etc) and ran to the top in between each set. The run to the top was something different each time…(high knees, backward run, shuffle, sprint, etc). 5 Burpees. Mosey to Station 2
Station 2: Picnic tables on the side of Charlotte Catholic. 3 sets of step-ups (10 each leg) dips (15), and incline Merkins (15). 5 Burpees. Mosey to Station 3.
Station 3: Parking lot between football field and parking deck. Partnered up. 10 partner Merkins with both in plank. Partners run up opposite staircases to top of garage and switch Merkins in plank. Return to bottom and meet up. 10 hand slap Merkins at bottom and 10 hand slap Merkins at the top of the deck. Return to bottom and repeat again for 3 total up and down the stairs and 6 total sets of Merkins. 5 Burpees. Mosey to Station 4.
Station 4: Parking lot at the end zone away from the school building. Mary Merkin ladder. 10 reps then 9, 8…down to 5 of various Merkins and Mary exercises. Mosey to Station 5.
