07/19/2022 - Grill - River Rats

The Hamburg Group me channel was buzzing with the heat expected for our Tuesday afternoon workout.  Dynamite chimed in that we should do hydro burpees in the river.  Challenge accepted!

Seven PAX posted to the Grill with the temperature close to 90 degrees.  However, we had a nice breeze and it was actually pleasant in the shade…if you weren’t doing jump squats!

Warm-a-rama: mosey up the river path to a shaded spot; Arm Circles and Circle Arms, Abe Vigoda, Imperial Walkers, Toy Soldiers, Best Stretch Ever, Calf Stretch

Mosey back down the trail; stop at one of the small picnic pavilions to knock out some Pull ups

Mosey to a shaded grassy area next to the river

The Thang

DORA 1-2-3: partner up; cumulative reps of 100 Merkins, 200 LBCs, and 300 Squats; one partner ran a short loop while the other did reps.

Captain Thor: 1 Big Boy Sit up: 4 American Hammers, ladder to 5 Big Boys: 20 American Hammers

Hydro Burpees — We were not entirely serious about going into the river but Myra said we all go in or none goes in.  The power of leadership — I marched/slid down the bank and stepped out into the river and the rest followed!

Deconstructed Burpees in the river — 5 Squats, 5 Leg Thrusts, 5 Merkins, 5 Leg Thrusts and stand up; ladder down to 1 complete Hydro Burpee.

Serendipitously, my M was sitting on a park bench nearby since we had been running errands in Hamburg prior to the workout.  She captured some of our antics on her phone.  Yes, boys will be boys.

Mary — Dealer’s Choice: Freddie Mercury, Flutter Kicks, Leg Raises, Box Cutters forward and reverse, In and Outs, Squat Jumps, Bobby Hurley

COT: prayers for Picasso’s step sister with breast cancer, prayers for Pocahontas’s coworker with prostate cancer, continued prayers for Ditto’s granddaughter, prayers for Woz with Covid, prayers for an upcoming missions trip to Kentucky that Picasso is going on to rebuild following last year’s tornados

Fun times at the Grill!
