Location: Gridlock
Date: February 2, 2019
Weather: Around freezing, maybe a few degrees below. No wind, no precipitation, super foggy. The parking lots and paved walkways had a frozen mist on top of them – kind of like an ice skating rink.
I had planned on using the parking lot a little bit, but instead we spent the whole time on the football field.
PAX: 17
Q: Incognito
Started off with Pledge of Allegiance
Warmup: Grass grabbers, Frankensteins, Michael Phelps, Arm Circles, Copperhead Squats, Monkey Humpers, and Newton’s Cradle.
The First Thang: Route 66 – the greatest road in the world, it’s in America of course
Ran around the circumference of the football field, stopping at each of the 10 light poles to do 1, then 2, then 3, etc. burpees – used the scoreboard as an 11th stop for 11 burpees – making 66 burpees total.
The Next Thang: After proving to everyone that America, NOT France, makes the best wine we did some drills on the football field.
Suicides, Broad Jumps, Lunges, Wheelbarrows, Bearcrawls, were all part of the equation.
The After that Thang: Next we showed how America can win any car race it wants to, such as when Ford went 1-2-3 at the 1966 24 hour at Le Mans. To celebrate we did our own 1-2-3.
We had a start and end point with 3 stops along the way. At each stop we did an exercise: typically the reps were 5 – 10 – 15:
Merkins
Air Squats
Chattarockers
Jack in the Box
Pike’s Peak
Mary’s: Showed that America has the most all-time Olympic medals, actually far more than twice as many as the 2nd country. PAX can all be medal winner if they try hard enough on these Mary’s
Scissor Clappers
Gas Pumpers
Low Flutter Kicks
Heels to the Heavens
American Hammers
Dolly
CoT: A couple prayer requests, a passage from Isaiah 40 read, and a celebration of the only thing better than America and that’s Jesus Christ and the Holy Trinity – and yes, they are much, much better.
