Circle back for the 6 and join in until all are completed.  (see dots and forgetting where you are normal in this exercise.  What is not normal is the amount of talking Glass Joe can still do while panting as he tries to do merkins.  Then again he did proclaim this was awful as soon as I said 10 Merkins on corner 1???   What is even less normal is watching Bernanke doing WW2 sit-ups.  he looked like a turtle stuck upside down on this shell. 🙂

Time to Mosey:  To the wall

Thang 2:  Partner OPPs (Overhead press, People’s Chair, Plank Jacks)

• Partner 1 in peoples Chair partner 2 in high Plank position (in unison) the partners perform 25 plank jacks and overhead press then swap.

Now that everyone has caught their breath its time to mosey again.  Moving to the far end of the AO parking lot

Thang 3: BLIMPS-acide

Starting on one side of the parking lot:

• 5 Burpees Run to other side
• 10 Lunges (each leg) Run to other side
• 15 Imperial walkers (count right leg) Run to other side
• 20 Merkins Run to other side
• 25 Plank-jacks Run to other side
• 30 Squats Run to other sideEveryone finished this a little quicker than expected leaving us time for a round of Traditional BLIMPS.  Although Madison claims there may have been some refusniks on this one..  Personally I did not see any.. I could barely count my own exercises on this one, much less someone else.

Everyone done.. Great.. lets head back to the AO from some Mary
Hairband must of had enough..  He kept on running and got in his car and left..

Mary:

• LBCs to 30
• American Hammers to 30
• Flutters to 20

Time.

Moleskin:
As always a strong group out at Thrive this morning ranging in age from 12 to 59.
14 PAX found their way over to Carolina Courts for a little midsummer morning fun as we attempt to drop some of what Hairband has called the QUARANTINE 15.  I am pretty sure the amount of sweat in today’s workout, everyone went home a few pounds lighter.  Except maybe Quidditch;  this 2.0 is 12.. was out there in sweatpants and long sleeve shirt, leading most of the exercises and I swear he never broke a sweat.  I am not sure what Unplugged is feeding this pax, but he never stopped and was looking back at the rest of us wondering why we were taking so long???
This AO on paper says its only 45 mins long and starts at 6am.  However, as Christmas and I were within a half mile of running to the AO we came across 3 other pax (Double E, Harambe, and Glass Joe) that were out for a 5K prerun.  Upon arriving at site there was Unplugged and Quidditch working on some yoga.  I also heard there is some regular pre-bootcamp rucking that occurs as well..  In other words, if you are looking for something a little more challenging than JUST another 45 min bootcamp, come check Thrive out.. its a great AO space and offers up some new alternatives to push your limits a little further.

I look forward to posting with you guys again when I am back in town.

Thank you for allowing me to lead and until next time:
SYITG!!
