Temps were a little warmer and the PAX were in a chipper mood. Time for a classic beatdown at the Henge. Here’s what we did.
The Thang:
Mosey to parking lot for warm-up: 25 SSH, 20 IW, 15 merkins, and 20 mountain climbers (All IC).
Down to the lake for Ladders and Chutes. Ladder #1 = squats and decline merkins (11’s) and a lap around the lake. Ladder #2 = step ups and dips (11’s) and a lap.
Mosey down to the exercise trail and… AUDIBLE!!!… it was covered in ice. So continue on and do something different for upper body work (made up on the fly).
Partner up. P1 CDDs while P2 bear crawls across the lot and back. Flapjack. Then P1 does merkins while P2 crab-walks across and back.
Mosey across the street for some hill work. P1 runs up and down 3X while P2 does dollies. Then flapjack and repeat with flutters and finally LBCs.
AYG to the over pass and 3X people’s chair. (Regular, arm raises, arms out front)
Long mosey down to the soccer fields. (Note: had we tried the garage, that security guard was waiting for us again. Best to stay out of there for while.)
Circle up for a ladder up burpees with Mary in between. 5, 10, 15, 10, 5 X burpees alternating with heels to heaven, dying cockroach, LBC, peter parkers.
Mosey home and do some merkins to wait for the 6.
Moleskine: Mumblechatter was high throughout. Great group of guys and a real pleasure to lead. It’s only going to get better boys, this winter is on it’s last legs!
Announcements: Be on the lookout for some new 3rd F coming to Ballantine. Will probably be Tuesdays following Bagpipe at Einstein Bagels. Hops is looking for 2 men to lead – please reach out to him if you’re interested.
