Things I’m missing right now?
- March Madness
- Baseball
So….
Starting with a tourney-style workout. This is going to use yard markers and sound like a football field, because that’s what I’m picturing, and probably where I’ll go do this. Adjust to wherever you are. Also, grab some kind of coupon and position in corner #2. But right now you’re in the first corner of your space, which is the…
North Regional, round of 64: 64 x stationary high-knees (count each leg)
Bear crawl ~50 yds (across the field, or to the end of your driveway and back) to the…
East Regional, round of 32: 32 x Coupon curls (and yes, I know this isn’t how the tourney really works, just go with it)
Sprint 100 yds (driveway x2) to the…
South Regional, round of 16: 16 x Bobby Hurley’s (jump squat, but be really obnoxious and pound the court at the bottom of your squat)
Lunge walk 50 yds to the…
West Regional, round of 8: 8 x shoulder taps (IC)
50 yd high knees, 50 yd butt kicks back to the…
North Regional, round of 4: 4 x Peter Parkers (IC)
Crab walk 50 yds to the…
East Regional, round of 2: 2 x shoulder-to-shoulder (IC)
100 yds carioca (50 yds facing one way, then reverse) to the…
South Regional, celebrate your championship with, 1 x Burpee
Baseball. I also miss baseball. This Thursday would have been opening day. Let’s play 9.
Starting at the goal line, bear crawl 10 yds. Do 1 Merkin (1st inning). Bear crawl 10 yds. Do 2 Merkins (2nd inning, and so on), Bear crawl 10 yds. Do 3 Merkins (and so on, for innings 4-9). But this is dumb, because we’re at the 10. Extra innings! Bear crawl 10 yds to the goal line. Do 10 Merkins.
If there’s time remaining, start another tourney, but replace with:
64 LBC, 32 coupon-squats, 16 plank jacks (single count), 8 jump squats, 4 burpees, 2 squat thrusts, 1 WWI. Also, replace the bear crawl with a mosey. That would be cruel.
MARY: Captain Thor (1/4 WWI/American hammers, then 2/8, 3/12 etc. up the pyramid to 5/20 and back down). 10 toy soldiers (IC). 25 flutter kicks (IC).
COT: My daughter was crying tonight when she went to bed. She had been practicing for a play, which would have been happening tonight. We talked about the serenity prayer, which I really like:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
That’s hard to do for a 9 year old. Hard for a 46 year old, too. But things are different right now and will be for a while. Think about the things you can control – like a virtual happy hour! Or maybe donating to help those in need right now, or giving blood. And try not to let the rest get to you.
