Shake Your Thang!

Shake Your Thang!

I was informed Kevlar has an annual tradition for the first workout of the year, to have us all bring out our old and new fitness gadgets.

So,19 Men dusted off their favorite fitness gadgets to get their new year started right!

The Thang:

We warmed up with a run around the campus and:

• SSH, IW, LSS, Mtn Climbers, Parker-Peters
• Continue to run around the church with 5 Merkins at each light post – there must have been at least a dozen…
• Run backwards to the track

The Thang:

• Partner up, pick a station
• P1 – do an exercise with the fitness gadget at your station
• P2 – run around the track
• Flapjack
• When both partners have used the fitness gadget at their station, rotate to the next station
• Stations available:
  • Perfect pushup
  • Jump rope
  • Hula hoop
  • Rebounder
  • Pogo stick
  • Shake Weight
  • Kettle bells
  • Medicine balls
  • Tires
• After all have experienced the joy of each fitness gadget and feel fully satisfied with their performance, we ran around the hood.
• LBCs while we wait for the six
• COT

NMM:

• I was nervous about putting together a workout without knowing what fitness gear might show up.  Tiger Rag didn’t help with his tweet to not screw it up!
• Bulldog help me understand what a shake weight was with this video: https://youtu.be/57IoQcuKPxc
• I scrounged up a few gadget of my own in my garage – a rebounder, hula hoops, and a pogo stick
• I was most impressed with everyone’s use of the shake weight, most notably Turkey Leg and Tackling Dummy.  They seemed to have done this before.
• Alf and Fletch made the pogo stick look easy.
• Brown really gave it his all on the rebounder!
• Squid maintained perfect form at every station!
• And we even ran about 3 miles
• You guys made it all fun without too much complaining.  Either that or I just wasn’t listening.
• Thanks to Bulldog for playing DJ and finding just the right songs to shake to.
• Thanks Orange Whip for taking us out!
• it’s always an honor to lead – Thank you for the opportunity!
