Total Body WIB

The great thing about WIB is that one (meaning a singular pax) never knows what he is going to get.  AO?  Mano y Mano with Zima?  Running intensive?  Boot camp oriented?  Let’s agree that there are some unknowns.  Thus, yhc was honored to see a number of pax gathered for this morning’s WIB beatdown.  While Zima was present, Cherry Pie was not faced with the unenviable task of going mano y mano….an endeavor for which CP is 0-2.

From the outset there was considerable mumble chatter.  Yhc was quite grateful that the chatter seemed to be directed from Thistle to Zima and from Zima back to Thistle, not always in that order.  Root Canal chimed in from time to time in support of his “little buddy” and Whirly let it be known that he was unhappy with the morning’s routine.  As is the custom, Mutton just took the whole thing in stride…a pax of few words but of great strength.

The theme of the morning….total body WIB…and it went something like this.

AO: Hanes Park

Starting Point:  base of The Intimidator

Routine:

  • Run to the first stop sign & hang a left on Carolina Ave
  • at next stop sign 10 Merkin-Jacks, hang a left on Brookstown
  • left on West End
  • At starting point 4 exercises
  • 10 Burpees
  • 10 Ski Abs
  • 10 Full extension crunches
  • 10 Heals to Heaven
  • RINSE & REPEAT

On the final lap, the pax were asked to find a stopping point and employ a favorite Mary exercise while waiting for the six.  An astute pax noted that Mutton was following the Q’s instructions and fully immersed in his favorite form of Mary….the Mutton Crunch of course!  Go figure.

It was a glorious morning and fun was had by ALL!

  1. Thanks for leading CP – always count on a through beat down with you as the Q. And let it be known, @Zima_F3 talked all the time, all through the work out. Please pray for his family. Yeeesh.

    1. How could you hear me when you were so far ahead? Every time I arrived at the exercise station, you were just leaving! #Respect
