Shakespeare showed up way late, so 7 penalty burpees … One per pax, but BC can't count that early in the morning, so the 7th was for God's Almighty presence with us.
Tha Thang:
311 was a band in the 90s from Nebraska with a rap/rock/reggae sound that was popular with skaters and apparently nerdy kids like me. One of their songs was called Omaha Stylee. Bullwinkle, Miyagi, DJ, and Patches must've all listened to cooler music than me in high school because they had no clue who 311 was.
A classic 3 sets of 11's workout, with a little twist. 6 stations setup as 2 lines of 3 facing each other about 25 yards apart. Each pair would be a round of 11s. But you'd do all 6 stations before you change the rep count.
Set 1: Squat Thrusters w/Cindy and KB Swings w/ Cindy
Set 2: Bonnie Blairs (the hard way) and Jump Squats
Set 3: Hand Release-Release Merkins and Tricep Extensions w/ Cindy
1st round: 10 thrusters, 1 kb swing, 10 Bonnie's per leg, 1 Jump Squat, 10 HRRMerks, 1 tricep. Mosey back to 1st station.
2nd round: 9 thrusters, 2 kb swings, 9 Bonnie's, 2 Jump Squats, 9 HRRMerks, 2 triceps. Mosey back to 1st station
And so on through all 10 rounds.
Everyone completed all 3 sets of 11s.
Miyagi suggested we do a full release at the top merkin on the last round, so we each did 5 of those in the COT.
COT:
Count, Names (with burpees), AAR, Announcements, Pledge, Prayer
AAR: Good change in format, good pairings for the 11s. Make sure the tricep extensions don't end up with Styrofoam Cindy's from Richmond Hill 😎
Praise for teacher colleague of Patches who not only got on a liver transplant list, but very quickly got a liver and is now recovering from that surgery.
Look to visit other AOs, especially during the summer when it may be easier in your schedule. Every AO loves to have a guest Q!
