Preamble:

March is in full swing…37 degree mornings and 70 degree afternoons. And what a morning it was for my VQ with 17 of my closest friends on the heels of international women’s day.

Warm-O-Rama:

After the usual pleasantries, we moseyed over to the warm up spot for the following:

SSH

Weed pickers

Windmills (little ones, enough is enough)

The Thang:

It was a challenge to come up with a workout routine that would not kill the Q (me) and also challenge the purists in our AO (not me). I shopped the Exicon for a balanced plan and made some notes on my “Weinke”. Pardon the mental images.

The PAX grabbed a rock from the drain pit and we headed to the goal line on the football field.

Here’s the order of the beat down:

Sequence: Murder Bunnies to the 10 yard line, at each 10 yard line complete exercise from list below – reps are the total of yards you have progressed down the field, leave rock and mosey back to the goal line, do 1 Burpee for every 10 yards you have progressed, mosey back to your rock and murder some more bunnies.

Exercises:

  1. 10 Gravediggers
  2. 20 American Hammers
  3. 30 Curls for Gurls
  4. 40 Upright Rows
  5. 50 second Bear Hold
  6. 60 Squats w/ rock
  7. 70 Calve Raises w/ rock
  8. 80 High Knees w/ rock
  9. 90 Mountain Climbers
  10. Cusack w/ rock 100 yards back to goal line

Overtime:

We dropped our rocks off and went to the hill by the end zone. Here we honored our socialist brethren with a set of “Bernie Sanders” – down the hill running forward, up the hill running (walking) backwards.

That warranted a short walk/run back to the flag where we still had a few minutes to spare. Waste-not want-not. We wrapped up with a popcorn finale with Pumba, Jethro, and White Claw leading us through a set of Box Cutters, Freddie Mercurys, and Lindsay Lohans (a.k.a. J-Los).

COT:

Striper announced the Men’s Lowcountry Boil and Crawfish Boil hosted by First Baptist Church Alpharetta on May 16 (around 5PM start).

Blistex announced the next Q Source discussion this weekend (Sunday night) around “Most Important Relationship In Your Life”

Naked-Man Moleskin:

We had a FNG this morning – no mercy, settled on Ski Bunny for his F3 name.
