The Last Charge (Almost) . . . And I Forgot . . .

13 men braved the gloom to attend the Last Charge (i.e., the last “official” Charge posting).

A little background . . . The Charge began over 3 years ago by DDs.   Unfortunately DDs could not make it today due to travel schedules and he has been MIA over the past 6 months with newborn twins in May.    However, DDs would like to continue the bootcamp workout on Wednesdays at Providence Day at 0530  for anyone who would like to attend.  Contact either me (John Deere . . . jngreene3@gmail.com) or DDs if you would like to be included on an email blast for Wednesday workouts.

DMZ first time Q doing 42

to celebrate the Q’s upcoming 42nd birthday, DMZ enjoyed 42 reps –

side straddle hop x15; squat jump x 15; merkens x15; mountain climber x15; imperial walker x 15

jog around church perimeter

side straddle hop x15; squat jump x15; merkens x15; mountain climber x15; imperial walker x15

To get to 42:  side straddle hop x12; squat jump x15; merkens x15; mountain climber x15; imperial walker x15.  now we drop the 42 thing until we get to burpees

People’s chair – 1 minute; jog to Carmel Park fields (nice and wet)

Wheelbarrow with partner about 25 yards (avoiding fire ants); bear crawls (25 yards); crab walk (25 yards);

I don’t know the name, but I call it the “plank jump” (one partner planks; the other partner jumps over and then under the planking partner) – 1 minute.    Love the taste of fresh cut grass!

Back to 42:   Run 25 yards; 10 burpees – x 4 (except 12 on the last set of burpees  to get to 42)

Makhtar N’Diayes  x 11;

plank – 1 minute
