Let’s do some spelling at Flatline!
It was a lovely day to descend on the streets of downtown to keep the loyal pax moving for 45 minutes.
Usually YHC just recycles a tried and true beatdown for everyone’s enjoyment. But was feeling a bit saucy today and actually created a new one! As a proud graduate of our public school and state university systems, spelling don’t come easy, so went for the mental as well as physical challenge!
Warmorama
- Did a #Spicolilap in case any pax showed up a little after launch time
- paused for a few exercises to get the muscles primed
The Thang
YHC created a 1-ish mile loop along 2nd and 4th. It had eight stops, one for each letter of our AO!
Look 1
F- Failure to Launch x 8 (hold Al Gore for 1o count, then “explode” into a jump tuck)
L – London Bridge x 10 (plank close to wall, then raise up on wall one hand at a time, then back down again)
A – Alabama Ass Kickers x 10
T – T- Merkins x 10 (hand release merkins, but shoot your arms out to form a T at the bottom)
L – Low Country Crab x 10 (crab position, alternate touching foot with opposite side hand)
I – Imperial Squat Walkers x 10
N – Nolan Ryans x 10
E – Everest – up stairs or a hill, lunge, then squat, lunge with other leg, then squat, etc
Loop 2
F – Foxhole x 12 (WWI rollover and do a merkin)
L – London Bridge x 10
A – Alphabet (feet at 6″ then spell each letter in alphabet with legs)
T – T-Merkins x 10
L – Lt. Danger x 10 (Lt. Dan’s upgrade – lunge, lunge, squat, merkin)
I – Imperial Squat Walker x 10 or 15
N – Nolan Ryans x 10
E – Everest
Mary
- Foxhole for 1 minute
- Plank for 1 minute
FIN
NMM
- It was a lovely group, spanning many decades of life and experience
- The chatter between Chickflick and Root Canal, tapered off as exertion increased
- No faces were busted doing London Bridge, wet pavement had pax curious
- VG was thankful to head west down 2nd Street, if even for a couple blocks
- Failure to Launch was a real #crowdpleaser to kick off the work
- The “hidden” theme of spelling was not picked up on by the pax (assuming all the new exercises threw them off)
Prayer requests
- Aging parents
- YHC has a member of my work team, that is finishing up bypass surgery right now. This was unplanned and kinda serious.
- St. Louis pax and families
Thanks for the invite Chick Flick!
