It was a balmy 38-41 degrees (depending who you ask), three of us opted for shorts and the other four opted to not bare the skin. Babyface had wished he opted to bare the skin and lose some of upper layers. All this to be said we had arrived for a pre-planned Group Q at Audit’s absence. We said our pleasantries and looked at each other to see who would make the first move. I went through the disclaimer and started the warm-up…a bit of mumble chatter had ensued during the pleasantries…’hey there goes Friar running down West Ave, hope he comes back; wait where is his vehicle, oh ran from home.’ Noted in Bold below shows the Group Q leader of each section.
Spokes
Warm-Up (In Cadence) as Friar joined us at LBAC’s.
SSH’s (sorry Twin we started with the ol’ standard), Imperial Storm Troopers, LBAC’s (with 15 second hold between Forward/Reverse), Hairy Rockettes, Merkins (Ten OYO)
Bismarck
Mosey across West Ave. and maintain motion (30 seconds of mosey and 45 seconds of an Exercise). First top was WW II sit ups, Second stop was Star Jumps, Third Stop was LBC’s which got us to the front of the Courthouse on Main St.
Rx
Mosey to stage area at Square. Note that lighted “HOPE” sign is now only lit as “HO”. While this was being investigated by PBR & Babyface as to potential power being removed from the P & E; Rx got us started.
An ode to Goldberg was announced (going to other AO’s has proven helpful in expanding the workout repertoire). 1) Lay on stomach, Perform Breast Stroke swimming with feet and arms off the ground (IC). 2) Flip Flop onto your six. Perform heel touches with heels close to butt (IC) then move heels further from butt and perform heel touches (IC) then move heels even further from butt and perform heel touches (IC). Head to Shake-N-Dog wall and do Australian Mountain Climbers (IC).
Head back to stage area and 1) Lay on stomach, Perform rowing motion with feet and arms off the ground (IC). 2) Flip Flop onto your six. Perform Wheezy Jefferson’s (IC). Head to Shake-N-Dog wall and do wall sit with heel touches (IC).
Head back to stage area and 1) Lay on stomach, perform penguin wing flapping motion with feet and arms off the ground (IC). 2) Flip Flop onto your six. Perform Dying Cockroach with arms more over your head so the distance causes you to stretch more to your feet (IC). Head to Shake-N-Dog wall and do wall sit with heel touches further from the wall (IC)
Babyface
Remain at stage area.
Surround two picnic tables with Two PAX on one table and 5 PAX on another table. The Two PAX table do arm lifts of the table while the 5 PAX table place one PAX on top of the table doing 15 Merkins while the other four PAX lift/hold the table off the ground. Rotate through so all PAX has a turn at the two tables.
Move to a Park Bench perform Dips (30 IC)
Swinger
Mosey to former bank parking lot at the corner of Mulberry/Main/Harper
It’s a Swinger “Bang and Pace” workout. Surrounding the main island start in a Plank. When Swinger announced “Bang” move ten paces out/away from island and perform 10 Burpees then resume Plank back at center island until Swinger announced Bang. At that point it was move out/away 20 paces and perform 20 WW II sit ups. Rinse/Repeat increasing ten paces each time performing 30 LBC’s, 40 Merkins and 50 Mountain Climbers (Each Leg).
PBR
Mosey to bottom of Vaiden St. Bernie up/Mosey down – Rinse/Repeat
Friar
Mosey to AO down Church St. & Harper
COT – No one had a word and then we did. Bismarck thought of a great idea for us all to share a Praise Report from each PAX. “…Thankful for each PAX, Families Health, Perspective, Being back to workout (whether we wanted Babyface there or not…he didn’t care), Sale of a stock that padded the wallet, etc…”
Count/Name – O-Rama
Missed those that are battling the virus and those quarantined. Spokes is just the writer of the Backblast and my hat goes off to each PAX and their participation at leading today. We are blessed to be surrounded by HIM that don’t shy away from responsibility to not only lead in a Workout but most importantly Lead their families through Christ example.
And for those like Hanger & Cousin Eddie that are still reading this…the ‘Lil Shakespeare Club’ is setting an example we hope all of the region adopts. The Q is responsible for not only preparing and leading the workout but they have to finish what they start and post a Backblast!
All of the Q’s Out!
