Dr. Toot Gets Technology
As I arrived, it was hard not to notice the caliber of PAX that had arrived, and I will admit, I was a bit intimidated. Super high end executioners up and down the line. With a last inhale of good air, introductions were made and we were off…..
10 burpees on the spot waiting on late arrivals. Seeing none, repeato, 10 more burpees and it was time to mosey to Corpening Plaza for a bit of tabata. 60 seconds for as many high quality reps as possible, 10 seconds to reposition for the next. Started with squat jumps, star jumps, and alternating lunges. Done. Mosey up and around for a lap by the reflecting pool back to the Plaza. We repeated the squat jumps, star jumps, and alternating lunges. Another lap. Now for some Cherry Pie core work. 60 seconds of low plank, penguin crunches-cheesesteak style, and American hammers. Lap. Repeato, low planks, penguin crunches-cheesesteak style, and American hammers. Time is fleeting, so up to the reflecting pool for a serene upper body squeeze. In cadence, 20 dips, 10 erkins, 10 upper Peter Parkers, 10 upper Mike Tysons, 20 dips, 10 merkins, 10 Peter parkers, 10 Mike Tysons, 20 dips, 10 derkins, 10 lower Peter Parkers, and 10 Mike Tysons. This always sucks. Moseying to the parking deck and up the steps to the top for a cloudy, but beautiful sunrise. While we were up there, we did the Gross… 12 reps of each exercise….squats, lunges, burpees, monkey humpers, diamond merkins, pickle pounders, Jane Fonda’s, mountain climbers, wide merkins, sweat angels, Mahktar Ndiayes, and hand release merkins. From there, we moseyed down, down, down to the bottom. At each of the bottom three levels, we stopped for 5 pull ups and 10 merkins. Lastly, we returned to the AO for a quick Thistle with 11 merkins.
COT: Bevo’ wife and Bevo are in the midst of birthing their child. Wow! Honored to be given a collective ring side seat for a sacred time. Other important things were announced and discussed, but let’s focus on this one today.
MNM: Eventhough I had pre set up my BlueTooth speaker and phone for music and Tabata, I still managed to have challenges getting things to work and equally challenged to get the thing to shut up. Red Baron simply goes all out at all times regardless of the circumstances. Cheesesteak does Cheesesteak and always runs up front. Van Gogh and Spicoli were all about high quality reps. Lamb Chop converses throughout, I guess his cardio is on target.
Awesome morning with great guys. There are no people I know that I would rather be with…..Thank you to all for that.
