Last Monday right after COT General asked YHC if I would Q, not thinking about it I said sure why not.
Fast forward to Sunday afternoon after checking the weather and realizing it was going to be sub-freezing cold and never having Q’d a kettlebell workout it was determined the whole objective of the morning would be to keep everyone warm.
Prerun – None (We were smarter than that)
At 530 at 27 degrees we set off for around Elon Park Elementary for our lap and upon our return began to warmup
SSH
10 Civilian Count Merkins
Buttkicks to other side of the parking lot
Imperial walkers
10 Civilian Count Diamond Merkins
Highknees back to launch (At this point someone asked if I knew it was a kettlebell workout)
30 Swings
10 Civilian Wide Arm Merkins
Shuffle to other side of the parking lot
5 Stagger Right Merkins
5 Staffer Left Merkins
Plank Jacks
Sprint back to start
20 Swings and another lap
Long warmup at about 15 minutes, some folks began to layer down (not me). After a brief setup the Conveyor Belt went like this with 6 stations and various weight bells spread throughout. Between each station were 2 parking spaces and a bearcrawl.
Upright Row x 15
Goblet Squat x 15
Curl x 15
Overhead Press x 15
Pushups on the Bell x 15 (Kudows to Wild Turkey for being more imaginative and doing rows with the bell)
Jump Rope x 30
Things went smooth for 4 rounds, Wrapped up with some dealer’s choice Mary and everyone gathered gear.
Solid work by the group, all are Monday AM regulars, put in spectacular effort, and made it easy.
Wild Turkey took us out. Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
