Games and…..fun?
The 2.0 and YHC were honored to be asked to co-Q at Alcatraz/Supermax. We sat down one night, AEW on in the background most likely, and made a plan. It went like this:
Supermax:
Two choices in this WIB style workout. A more “extended warm-up” and a true beatdown. Pax availed themselves of both and even moved back and forth. It was tough.
Perform each exercise 5 times. Run distance (started as the length of lot, switched to full lap around smaller lot, good call). Each round add 1 lap and 5 reps.
Choices:
- Abe
- Squats
- Penguin Crunch
- Seal Claps
- Walk distance
OR:
- Side Straddle Hops
- Burpees
- LBCs
- Merkins
- Mosey distance
Woo! Good workout.
Alcatraz:
Our theme: fun and games. The “fun” was debated.
Following warm-o-rama, we went to Game One: Throwing Dice.
Using a pair of multi-sided dice (we raided the Dungeons and Dragons box). One die determined the exercise, second the reps. Roll a 1, lap around the lot. 9 possible exercises, reps could go as high as 90.
- Merkins
- Wide Merkins
- Dry Docks
- Mountain Climbers
- Peter Parkers
- Shoulder Taps
- Seal Calps
- Overhead Claps
- Run lap
Few rounds, we hit them all, some of us rolled…poorly.
Next game! Disc Golf. We explored the back half of the AO and the 9 holes. 5 burpees at each one. Watch for poison ivy.
Next game! Dice and Spaces and Cones
- 6 cones spaced, seemingly at random and numbered, around the small parking lot.
- Q rolls a (normal, boring) six-sided die and calls the number. Pax run to the appropriate cone. Last one there: take a lap.
- Rest of pax: perform called exercise until runner is back
Exercises:
- Side Straddle Hops
- Walkers
- Hillbillies
- Cross-Overs (a Bloodsport creation, ask him)
- One more!
- One more !
Sorry, lost the winkie and can’t pull it.
Done!
