Presidential Physical Fitness Challenge
24 pax gathered for YHC’s Conspiracy VQ. I’d like to think we had such a great numbers due to the Q. However I think it’s more likely the higher numbers were in support of Hazer’s return; a much better cause.
This morning’s workout was a throwback to middle school PE class with the presidential physical fitness challenge. The challenge was to accomplish the standard set for a 17-year-old male.
13 pull ups
Sit and reach 7 inches past your heels
30 foot shuttle run in under 8.7 seconds
55 sit ups in a minute
1 mile run in under 6:06
Warm-o-Rama:
1 lap around the track
20 SSH IC
10 AV IC
20 IST IC
20 Mt Climbers IC
20 Merkins
The challenge:
Partner up and head to the pullup bars. 13 pull-ups, partner assist as needed.
Take turns attempting to sit and reach past your heels while the group stretched out with Whirlys and a clap
Mosey to field in the track shuttle run 30 feet done and back twice
Partner up. Partner 1 planks on feet of partner 2 who does 55 sit-ups. Switch.
1 lap(1/4 of mile run)
Repeat and try to improve on round one. This time with 2 laps(1/2 mile to complete 1 mile around track including warm up lap)
1 minute of stretching. No time for Mary.
Done.

YHC took us out in prayer thanking God for the day and the ability to be out His creation. To His glory.
Solid looking Q, Chisel. That 6:06 mile was something I could do at 17; now that’s a big fat nope. Will have to try this on my own. Sorry to miss it.

Thanks for leading this AM Chisel. Ingenious and organized. Sorry I can’t do everything I could when I was 17, but glad I choose not to do many things I did when I was 17.
I could barely touch my toes as a 17 year old and can’t quite reach my ankles now. Good work, Chisel.
And Thistle is on target with his comment.
I’d be lucky if my sit-and-reach was 7 inches past my knees… [ouch]
Good-lookin’ workout, @Chisel!
Excellent Q Chissel. Thank you for a Presidential welcome back to Hazer. Wish I had an extra orange beanie for your noble effort.
I think you missed one announcement… SWISS MISS’s BIRTHDAY IS ALMOST HERE!!!
Nice Q Chisel. I don’t usually venture this far on a Wednesday but today it was work the extra mileage. Glazer was a fine partner of sufficient size and stamina – in other words a trade in was not necessary – not that trading is allowed or customary but it would have made for some good chatter. Had to cheat on the planks because those are a bit testy after he 55 WWII situps – ouch. Pull-ups… Hated them in High School – nothing has changed (runner – albeit older and slower – arms) Way to keep a large group moving. Drawn up and delivered like the pro you are. Giddy up.
