Speed, Strength, and Stability – a little something for all

As YHC drove into the parking lot, I found a lone KB’er in Busch and a couple of unsure pax waiting for something to happen.  Even though I forgot the shovel flag this morning, we still departed at 5:30 to give everyone what they were looking for.

Jog to baseball field and do a lap around entire field. Circle up in the infield for COP.

COP

  • SSH x20
  • IW x20
  • Groiners x20

Mosey to home plate for some interval training.

Interval Training “Infield sprints” for Speed

Group jogs around infield. Lead pax sprints around infield until catching the pax. Shouts “go” for next pax to do same. Repeat until all have gone twice.

1 lap of Indian Run around entire baseball field.

Mosey to rock pile, choose a suitable rock, and carry to the outfield for some Tabata strength training.

  • Tabata 1 – Tea Bag Squats / Merkins
  • Tabata 2 – Bicep Curl / Wide-arm Merkins

Drop rocks for some core stability work.

Naked Moleskin:

  • Kudos to Busch (solo KB’er), Champagne, Turkey Leg, and Purple Haze getting a little extra credit with the pre-run this morning!
  • Welcome to Anvil FNG Spead-eagle and F3 FNG Hardhat (a solid name).  Glad you guys came out to give us a try and hope you’ll come back.
  • PAX was a little confused by the “Infield Sprints”…kind of like an Indian Run, but not an Indian Run. Heard a few calls to reverse direction, but YHC was definitely feeling NASCAR this morning.  #turnleft
  • When we got to the tabata portion of the workout I heard at least one call-out for lack of creativity.  Granted, but I think what it lacked in creativity it made up for in difficulty.  #spaghettiarms
  • Had a little trouble calling out the MOM exercises this morning.  Is it a flutter, is it the dolly…what is it?
  • Overall a great effort by all out there this morning and always an honor to lead!
  • Thank you Busch for taking us out of COT this morning with a solid
