The Swamp welcomed back its Site Q, Neon, in classic swamp-like fashion. The rain was steady with occasional down-pours.
Upon arrival, the 4 PAX scurried to the shelter of the pavilion across a sodden lawn. A cursory disclaimer was given on the way to the pavilion as we dodged puddles. Exercise instructions and cadence counts had to be loud above the din of the rain on the roof.
Warm-a-rama: SSH, Sun Gods, Hillbillies, Monkey Humpers, Peter Parkers
The Thang:
- BLIMPS (5 Burp/10 Lunge/15 Imp Walk/20 Merk/25 Plank Jack/30 Squat)
- Happy Jacks (5 SSH/2 Jump Squats X 4)
- Hundreds (Legs at 45°, shoulders off ground; arms straight at sides; quick 6 inch pulse of arm/hands to 100 count)
- Deconstructed Burpees (10 Squats, 10 Leg Thrusts, 10 Merkins, 10 Leg Thrusts; Decrease by 1 each round to 1 rep each)
The leg thrusts were taxing; we took a few breaks between sets to hear about some of Neon’s adventures in the high Andes of Chile while being grateful for our mere 500 ft elevation for the workout.
- 20 Step Ups per leg
- 20 Dips
- ATM (15 Shoulder Taps, 10 Tempo Merkins, 10 Fast Merkins)
Mary: Superman, American Hammer, Freddie Mercury, Starfish Crunch, Reverse Crunch off side of table
COT: Praise/Pray Requests, Count-a-Rama, Name-a-Rama, Prayer; Thankful for God’s blessing in each of our lives.
Following COT, we had an extra credit run back to the parking lot, this time trying to avoid streams of water on the path.
