19 PAX gathered at Dromedary for Delta’s version of Suicide Squad combined with Serpentine of Doom. Delta’s recent body fat measurement came in a little high, so I decided to take it out on the grinder (blacktop for non-veteran participants).
The Thang:
Warm up run around the main parking lot dodging the barricades set up for Marching Band.
Followed by: 30 Side Straddle Hops, Imperial Walkers, Mountain Climbers, Peter Parkers, Down Dog and Up Dog to get the muscles stretching.
Next we did the Merkin Inch Worm Partner Relay. One partner was inch worm merkins and the other running to the other end of the parking lot. Flap jack and continue until half of the parking lot was covered with inch worm juice.
Then we moved to Partner Burpee Suicides with the runner doing burpees at each turnaround and the partner staying back doing squats.
Then we did the partner bear crawl relay. One partner running a small loop the other bear crawling to the other end of the parking lot.
Then some dips followed by the Serpentine of Doom figure eight style with 10+ incremental mountain climbers at each cross walk. By this time the PAX was done and we ran back to the finish.
Moleskin: I heard that as we age it is harder to get off of the ground, so today’s exercises were based on the muscle groups necessary to lift oneself off of the ground. There will be no, “I have fallen and I can’t get up” stuff going on in the Western UC. So burpess, inch worms, mountain climbers and bear crawls were the name of the day. However, as I was keeping my form and focusing on the task at hand, it appeared that there was some serious modification going on. So next time, I will have to add some more in.
