Even though we could not see the Lunar eclipse well at the AO, science teachers look for any excuse to talk about science. So we spelled out eclipse for our workout.

E-escalators- lunge with one leg, then squat, the lunge with other, and squat. Repeat up hill for two light posts.
C- curls-30
L-lunges-20each leg
I- imperial walkers-20 each leg
P-plank jacks-20
S-squats -30
E-extensions of triceps-20

We rucked for a little bit in between exercises. Covered about 2 miles.

We learned the White Wall likes kids band-aids and that one of his employees has an interesting side-business. We also learned that Boo Boo won’t recycle boxes from stores that sell banana shaped latex toys and that he is addicted to pork( not what we thought he said)! Great to meet Herbie and be back to working out again after recovering from an injury!

Start at one end of parking lot and did 5 curls then moseyed with ruck to other end. Q told HIMs a riddle and if they solved it correctly in time, they did 5 ruck Merkins. If they got it wrong, it was 5 Man Makers. We then moseyed back to the start and repeated.

Did 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 curls and then back through each rep until 5 for a total of 170 curls. The HIMs did very well at guessing the riddles and only missed a few! Sous Vide was the Riddle MVP.

Moseyed over to larger Pavilion due to great showing today at Paddock!

Today’s theme was doing Lansburys. Workout was designed to get Lansbury’s attention and get him to come out to Paddock. Even though he showed up, hopefully this will inspire him to show up more and lead the Qs he signed up for.

I made a playlist of hard metal music to play for the Pax but changed at the last minute because that music is terrible…

In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day we tested our luck by rolling an 8-sided die to see what exercise we did. Rolling the following numbers equaled the these exercises.

1=10 burpees
2=20 merkins
3=30 curls
4=40 squats
5=50 LBCs 
6=60 Mountain climbers
7=Lucky 7 (rollers choice of exercise and reps)
8=80 side straddle hops

We took turns rolling and kept going until 6:00 A.M. when we did a short mumble Ruck to finish out the time.

Sous Vide selected Australian Push Ups for his Lucky 7. For those not familiar with them, since Australia is “upside down” on the globe, Australian Push are upside down push ups. We did 10. It was very hard!

Prayers for our F3 brothers dealing with cancer and their families.

In honor of Valentine’s Day on Feb. 14 we started with 14teens instead of Elevens. On one side we did Merkins and on the other Arods.

We then ice skated to the coupons and engaged in a very challenging series of exercises where zero fun was had.

Pax did 14 Coupon Curls and then had to slide the coupon curling style to the other side of the parking lot. In between slides we Army Crawled to the block and slide it again.

At the other end we did 14 Overhead Presses and the repeated the slide and crawl back to the starting point.

The Pax then decided to have a contest to see who could slide the coupon the farthest. The Pax that lost each round had to do 14 Big Boys as punishment. However since we never leave a man behind, we all did 14 Big Boys after each slide.

Returned coupons and ice skates back to the main area.

Thank you to Lansbury for the coffee! Stay safe everyone!!!

Moseyed to get a coupon and then circled up for some reflecting on our Thanksgiving meals!

Despite a solid Q from Duggar at Paddock on Friday, the Q still had lots of Thanksgiving food to work off! To stay slim and trim, the Pax followed a specific scientific plan to burn off the extra calories. For each part of the Thanksgiving meal, the Pax did a specific exercise.

Mashed Potatoes=Alternatively Shoulder Taps 20 (2 is one)
Rolls=10 Arods
Stuffing=20 Overhead presses
Sweet potatoes = 20 curls
Broccoli Casserole =20 coupon squats
Corn pudding=20 coupon rows
Turkey with Gravy=20 Merkins
Bread Sauce = Big Boys (from Duggar’s meal)

Since we all know we had seconds, each exercise was done a second time. This time we added Green Bean Casserole =15 Man Makers (from Animal Style’s meal)

The Q then realized he had had “thirds” and the Pax repeated the exercises a third time to make sure no calories were left behind! This time we added Mac N Cheese= 40 Freddie Mercury’s (From Zebra’s meal).

The Pax then had to work off desert!
Pecan Pie=40 American Hammers
Pumpkin Pie=10 Burpees

We repeated these as well because who can have just one slice of pie!

Banana Pudding=40 squats( from Triceratops and Dugger’s meal)

We the returned the coupons and in honor of the First Thanksgiving did a Fellowship Run (Sparky’s version of an Indian Run) back to the starting area.

There was still a little time left so we did planks, six inches, and star crunches until time was up.
