With college football back in all its glory this weekend, we had a little fun and broke a sweat along the way, Four quarters, four workouts. Thanks for everyone that was able to contribute footballs.
Warm up:
- Short 30 foot mosey
- Potato Pickers X 10
- Imperial Walkers X 10
- Mountain Climbers X 10
- Merkins X 10
- Calf Stretches
- Shoulder stretches (everyone was a QB today)
The Thang:
- 1st Quarter: RB workout. High knees for 5 parking lot stripes and then 5 pushups at each. Did the stretch of the CMS parking lot, back and forth.
- 2nd Quarter: Mosey to the wet grass with low visibility (best I could find). Broke out the whistle for running in place to lineman spin moves. Did this until I was about to pass out. Not easy.
- 3rd Quarter: Mosey to the football parking lot. Time to run some routes. 5 teams. Rotating QB and WR, 10 yard post patterns. This was on pavement and the Q was very concerned someone would dive for a pass with visions of grandeur. Thank heavens no one did. Kept this moving. Combine style.
- 4th Quarter: Mosey back to the middle school. Brief stop for 30 dips. I know the hardcore workout folks were grumbling at this point.
- Kick-off fun time. Returners deep. Each team chucked it, if the returner caught it, you sprinted to him. If he missed, you sprinted and did either merkins X 10 or squats X 10.
- Overtime: Got some plank work, some merkins and some SSH’s in. The Q abstained from most of the SSH due to serious opposition.
Moleskin:
Appreciate everyone playing along today for a little football fun. A lot of the fellas wore their school colors with pride. Foundation wins the award for “best dressed.” When I showed up, he was donned in a jersey and helmet! Now that is some serious dedication!
A big boy shout out to Beckham. After my last Q, he was basically airlifted out of the HS parking lot. When I saw him this morning, I thought maybe he was there to settle the score. Cool deal for him to be there and get back in the saddle with our fitness fam. That meant a lot to me.
Final thought, this is my last Q here. Really appreciate all you fellas being so good to me. You are great men, great leaders in the community, great fathers or husbands or friends. You all make a big impact on those around you. That is what this is all about. And you guys are the best at it. It has been my privilege to be a part of this messed-up collection of dudes!
