Chiseled: Pre-Thanksgiving Calorie Burn
It was the day before thanksgiving and 17 PAX showed up early to get a start on burning calories so that they can consume more the next day.
DiCCS given and away we go…..
The Warm-Up:
Mosey up to the Five Stones entrance and return to the parking lot. Circle up for some warm-up exercises all in 1-2-3 cadence: Sidestraddle Hop x 20, Moroccan Night Club x, 20, Imperial Walkers x 2o Calfstretchers and Pantsrippers.
The Thang:
While one partner functions as the timer (run backward up Mt. Chiseled and back), the other partner begins the exercises. Each exercise is done “as many as you can” style one at a time until the timing partner returns triumphantly over Mt. Chiseled. The exercises included all of the following. Merkens, LBCs, Curls (21s w/ coupon), American Hammers, Low Slow Squats (w/ coupon), Diamond Merkens, Shoulder Press (w/ coupon), Bobby Hurleys and ending with Kettle Bell swings.
After a great showing by everyone, we are back doing a rifle carry of coupons again and back to the original starting point. Next, each PAX gets to choose their exercise of choice for the group. After some more grueling lifting of coupon blocks, we finish off the last 45 seconds with “have a nice day” Next is COT and Cargo tells his story as 6th man.
My very first Q is now complete! Thanks to everyone for the inspiration and support.

It took me a while to finally step up to lead a workout. I was inspired by one of Bottlecap’s speeches when he said that if you “pour yourself in to F3” you will realize even more of the benefits F3 has to offer and feel better about yourself too. That certainly held true for me and I’m looking forward to pouring more in (thanks Bottlecap). Also, thanks to Fusebox and Posse for helping me along in surviving this first Q and getting the Backblast posted.
