Annual Tradition of Holiday Lights

Annual Tradition of Holiday Lights

Large group of merry men were all circled up looking ready to go. Some knew of the general plan, others waited in great anticipation. No FNG’s, just one site FNG, but literally he is a Pro, so a brief (poor) description of the plan and off we went.

The Thang

Another Q, another Scout Run. This time with a jingle ball- 8lb medicine ball to be carried by the Scout. The purpose of the scout was to sprint forward, find a house with holiday decorations, lights or inflatables and then sprint back to the pax and report what they found

Holiday Decorations: Monkey Humpers x10

Lights: Scout names the Merkin (Diamond, wide arm, normal…even CCD called) x 10

Inflatables: Burpees x5 max 10

When we finally got to a home fully decorated by the holiday spirit, we discovered that Santa must have come. He left a full tabata workout with gear.

Each station had 2 exercises per round. The idea was to do a round then move left. We struggled for a few rounds but got the hang of it.

25 sec on / 8 sec rest – Yes, aggressive. But, I wanted to make sure everyone got a turn on the gear

1. Battle Rope / LBC
2. Goblet Squats / Criss-cross or scissor abs
3. Ladder push up cross over / WWII sit ups
4. Curls w/ slosh tube / American hammer
5. Plank (each partner for full 2 rounds)
6. Jump Rope (each partner for full 2 rounds)
7. Tricep extension #35lb KB / Right leg over left knee abs
8. One arm Row #40lb KB / Left leg over right knee abs
9. Squat Press weighted Tub #45lb / Heels to heaven
10. Right hand high / Left Hand high

20 total exercises / 18 pax perfect!

At 0600 time for the tabat to end, gather up items and head to the garage to get a 10lb present (block weights, dumbells, KB). Everyone gets a present and we run back to AO. Few stops along the way to wait on the pax, probably 45 total of some kind of marry

Once back at the AO, Monkey humpers x 10 / Merkins x10.

Lastly, Deck the Hall flutters to Debby Ryan’s version. Protractor 45 degrees then when she sings Fa,la,la,la,la,la,la- Flutters. In the musical interlude a little boat/ canoe, then resume flutters

DONE

Ye Old Moleskin:

1. Thank you to Margo and Queen for giving me the opportunity to keep this dumb seasonal workout going each year. I believe this is the 3rd
2. Thanks for the patience today, we had a ton to get done, we had big numbers. I needed to slow down to explain, but you boys caught on
3. THANK you ALL for being diligent when crossing the street.
4. Sorry for anyone in the 6 today. Again, had to keep moving, so sorry if you just caught up and we took off again
5. Welcome Prohibition for being the site FNG
6. Gummy tried to talk junk up front…ain’t got time for that
7. Running with weight sucks, use that however you want. The weight you lost, the sins you carry or just 10lbs of suck.
8. Thanks for the push of all the men in F3. Personally, I completed 4 relay races, 1st Goruck light, run over 700 miles, lost 10lbs and created great friendships. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy new year. See you in 2019.
