Well the weight is over for Dana’s 1st ed. Backblast. After seven hours coaching a doubleheader baseball game and a softball practice now is the time. Posse and Moneyball were the most energetic teachers. Ready or not hear it comes.
Warm Up
Dr. Moneyball and Dr. Posse started off by saying this is going to take 45min or 60min, and it will be done when it is done. I did not get nervous till Moneyball said this will be a “light workout”, was he saying this as the sun had risen or would it be an easy one? Only time would tell as we started to mosey around the west parking lot. Once we landed back at the start Posse discussed the importance of knowing how to count. We all learned how to count in preschool and kindergarten correct, but when your heart is beating out of your chest while doing 55 SSH (each student counted in cadence 5) is a different story. Big 10 would have been rolling to NSYNC or Boyz II Men as he hightailed it out of the parking lot, but we got through it. Next each student picked an exercise, from LBC, Dollys, Protractors, Merkins, and others we counted off while performing these pleasantries.
The Thang
- Moseyed to the front of the middle school while trying to keep the PAX together. We then cut through the wet grass, and after picking partners we took turns running the short loop and completing 50 Dips, then 50 Step Ups.
- Moseyed to the High school steps while Posse provided ways to get the Gazelles to circle back to the 6 or complete a workout while the 6 arrived for the fun.
- 2 laps around the path while completing Calf Raises, my legs thank you Jingles.
- As the fire in my lungs subsided Triple Nickle was mentioned, 5 laps running down to the middle light and complete 5 Burpees then up to the top for 5 Squats. I tried to count but I was more concerned with my heart staying in my chest by this point.
- Back to the front middle school parking lot for a Starfish which consisted of 4 corners and a “center of the universe”, we completed 5 Low Slow Squats on the points, and 5 Speed Skaters in the center.
- Then the Shawshank (Jail Break) back to the start for COT.
The Moleskin
- Posse and Moneyball were good teachers and the class was informative and had great words of wisdom for the young grasshoppers
- Don’t let Moneyballs shoes get wet.
- Everyone had great questions and realized there was more to VQ than we thought.
Announcements
- A couple of more Indian Land shirt orders are needed to send to print.
- Meet at McDonalds for more instruction (due to ball and other responsibilities I was not able to attend)
- COT can be closed out in other ways than with a prayer, Dr. Posse.
