6 More Weeks of Winter @ BAGPIPE



6 More Weeks of Winter @ BAGPIPE

15 PAX did not follow Punxsutawney Phil back into his hole and refused to be scared of their own shadow.   However, burpee box jumps in front of an audience were a different story.  34 degrees, no wind or rain and a brief disclaimer alluding to lawsuits, safety and caring about feelings was given.

Here is what may or may not have gone down…

Mosey to the usual warm up spot…right outside of the sleeping Marriot hotel guest rooms.

HR Merkins, Mt Climbers, IW, W-mills all in random 13-20 reps

The main event:

Grab a partner that won’t really be a partner (socially distanced rep counter)

partner 1:  wall sit with arm raises and watch P2 do exercises

partner 2: Burpee Box Jump onto concrete wall… 5 reps and switch with P1

Knock out 5 sets of these…

Round 2:  P1:  Wall sits with Rousey shadow boxing (love the energy!)…. P2:  Box Jumps (5x Facing Right… 5x Facing Forward…. 5x Facing Left)… get your 5 sets in swapping back and forth with P1

Legs are burning at this point!! Good mogul and fresh powder training here!!

Next, we got a quick set of USA Hammers and right back to 3x more sets of Burpee Box Jumps… and 3x more sets of Rt-Fwd-Lt 5/5/5 Box Jumps…

At this point, we are 30 minutes into the workout and the mumble chatter has silenced (except for Kirby of course!) and outside of dodging Frehley’s digestive issues (my partner who crushed all of his reps by the way!!) there wasn’t a lot of PAX observations.     I did catch glimpses of SweetWater and MicCheck showing signs of athleticism.   And Circuit City was 100% keeping WarEagle honest on his count… definitely got better today getting every rep in, nice work!

Ok, so with 15 minutes left I still felt the urge to run further away from Launch… Your Q spent a lot of bike riding, go kart racing and 1 scooter wreck in the Kids Pond parking lot during quarantine and he wanted to revisit it at 6am… we got in a quick FWD lunge/BACK lunge set and a BearCrawl-CrawlBear set… 8 minutes to go and its time to get home.

With 4 minutes on the clock we stop back in front of the Marriot hotel to make sure everyone hears us this time… one last exercise:   The Deconstructed Merkin… 5 Merkins/5 Knee Ups/5 Jump Squats – repeat 3 times.

90 seconds to go we break for home – everyone makes it right on time!

Thanks for the opportunity to lead – always a great experience and awesome way to start the day.
