Modify Up?

Modify Up?

18 Pax started their week off with a little football themed workout at The Matrix.  We started off with a disclaimer (more on that later) then off we went on a jogging tour of the campus trying to stay out of the sloppy grounds from the week’s rains.

COP

SSH IC X 25

IW IC X 25

Merkins IC X 15

Mt Climber IC X 15

Look – we found some minifootballs – divide into 4 groups – group 1 is the pace setter for this round

Group 1 Joe Webbs (in honor of Panthers 3rd team QB – Jack Webb with merkins on footballs) up to 10 merkins and 40 arm raises

While Group 1 does JW’s Group 2 does AMRAP Squats, Group 3 Carolina Dry Docks, Group 4 LBC

Rotate through stations until everyone does Joe Webbs

Line up in two lines for Redskins run (Indian run with footballs, pass ball back through line when it reaches the back of the line the pax sprints it to the front) – run around front of school to playground

At playground Line 1 does lap around islands while line 2 does pullups – flapjack; two more rounds with Heels to Heaven and Derkins

Mosey to parking lot for MOM – Dolly, Flutter, Rosalita then Derrick Mason twist (Mason twist while passing footballs around circle)

I enjoyed leading this group this morning.  I brought one of my Base Camp workouts – back when Base Camp was a moderate workout – and tried to adjust for The Matrix Pax.  In the disclaimer I added the twist that usually modify means to back down a little but some of this crew might need to “Modify up”.  Crab Cake suggested that might be a good title for a BB – and so it is

On the warm up lap around the school someone missed the curb and took a spill – I can’t say who because it was dark and they were behind me (how’s that for a twist?).  I didn’t want to turn around for fear I might be the next to hit the ground.

Only 1 football hit the ground through the workout so we only had to do 5 burpees.  Ball Control – Nick Saban would be proud of this group.

Thanks to Uncle Leo and Alf for pushing me to lead – I enjoyed it.  Hope everyone else did.

Thanks to Squid for the great send off.
