The Drill
Everyone’s bells, in no particular order, lined up the length of the parking lot. There are three exercises per round. For each round, PAX will perform 10 reps (or 5 per side) at a kettlebell. After completing that exercise, PAX slides to the next bell until he returns to his original bell. If you finish before your neighbor, you get a short break. After each round we circled up short pause and instructions on the next three exercises. We (almost) finished 5 rounds.

This was my first non-boxing Foxhole Q and I was having trouble coming up for inspiration. I knew I couldn’t stand in the middle of cirlce for 45 min. (Too weak!) After scrolling through dozens of websites and youtube videos, I found the All Down the Line concept. I liked the idea of keeping up a decent tempo while trying a variety of weights. We had the perfect sized group with about a dozen bells of various poundage. Not a lot of mumblechatter today. The line-up didn’t facilitate much 2nd F. (It could be worse, at least you didn’t need to run through woods in the dark. #thebrave.)
An honor to lead! Aye!
