2 Lefts don’t make a Right



2 Lefts don’t make a Right

7 PAX for a little tour de Matthews via BLIMPS.

Warm-up:

Quick but sufficient disclaimer, warning the PAX this was my first visit to Sparta.

The Thang:

Right hand turn onto Trade for a quick circle up of the following exercises:

5 x Burpees

10 x Lunges (each leg)

15 x Imperial Walkers

20 x Merkins

25 x Plank Jacks

30 x Squats

Midway through the Merkins, informed the PAX this was how to do BLIMPS, and we would do a full set of these at every right turn we took. Murmurs of making an extreme left turn to make a right were heard but don’t think this was attempted.

Left hand turns would be assigned bomb jacks x 10 (think squat into a star jack).

Here is the route we took:

Right on trade, left at the T, left on John, right on Trade, left on Charles, left on Crestdale, left on Matthews-Mint Hill, left on Trade, left down to the library, around the library roundabout stopping for 10 donkey kicks, left on trade, right to the parking lot by Seaboard, Right on Ames, right on park central, right on Trade, left into the AO parking lot.

4.6 miles, 7 rights and 8 lefts – those reps added up quickly!

Moleskin:

First time posting at Sparta, as Thursday’s are reserved for 0.0 and Meathead. I was going to post at least once to get a lay of the land before my Q, but for some reason chose to prerun Meathead a few weeks back and rolled my ankle putting me out of commission. Lesson learned Voodoo/High Tide.

The possibilities at this AO are ridiculous. Being an hour long workout and close to the greenway, downtown Matthews, sportsplex, etc. there are endless opportunities to give a good beat down. The usual suspects at Sparta only complete the 2nd F as it was a standout crew, with encouraging and entertaining mumble chatter for 60 straight mins. I will definitely be back.

Thanks to Slim for the takeout and to Gypsy and Madison for the opportunity to lead this fine group.
