Seven Minutes of “Fun”
Enroute to Kentucky last fall for the Bourbon Chase, Huckleberry played the following clip about relay races being “fun” for van #1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL1hLU_LBvs&t=24s
YHC tried to recreate the sense of fun this morning for the seven pax who joined me at the Iron Throne.
Warmrama:
SSHs, Abe Vigodas, not Whirlies, standing hammies, up/down dawg combo
The Thang:
Mosey around the front of the school to the back of the school to the new cinder blocks (thanks, Crash!). Hoist a block and carry it to the playground. Instructions were then given:
Timer would be set for 7 minutes. Two exercises per round with required reps beginning at 2 for exercise A, 4 for exercise B, 6 for exercise A, 8 for exercise B, and so on up to 24 reps of exercise B, time permitting. If you complete the 24-rep cycle, run a lap and plank for the 6. If time expires, run a lap and await instructions for the next round. Exercises were:
| Exercise A | Exercise B | |
| Round 1 | Pull-Ups | Windshield Wipers (DC) |
| Round 2 | Dive Bombers | Lunges (DC) |
| Round 3 | Merkins | Scissor Kicks (DC) |
| Round 4 | Curls | Penguin Crunch (DC) |
| Round 5 | WW1s | Monkey Humpers |
Mosey home for Mary:
WW1s, Gas Pumps, Cheesesteak Penguin Crunches
Time.

NMM:
- The Q was prepared to go easy this morning; then Cherry Pie arrived and opened his mouth. We didn’t hear much from him after the workout commenced. Hopefully he had as much fun as the rest of us.
- Van Gogh questioned what the blocks were for mid-workout after we had used them for windshield wipers and as a heavy thing to carry; clearly not satisfied, he was seen post-workout fulfilling the round of curls.
- Lace and Green Acres blazed through and were seen planking together multiple times. Green Acres was representing the Carolina family this morning.
- Ziggy and YHC worked together to avoid rolling ankles in the divots on the track. Next community service action will be to bring a load of gravel to the AO and fill in the holes.
- Good to see Rust Bucket who was driving a vehicle that was decidedly not rusty. He’s about to make his warm-weather migration to the northern climes. Say hey before he leaves.
Thanks for the keys, Crash. They are with my cinder block. Good job restocking the AO.
Prayer Requests:
- Ukraine
- Giles’s family.
YHC took us out.
