Warm up:

15 SSH, 10 Windmills, 10 Arm Circles (big and small) each way, 10 Williemayhays, 10 Cherrie pickers

The Thang:

The theme of the workout was a tour of the expansive Arlington Highland Park, and its many fields, while avoiding the pesky rubber pellets of the upper soccer field. Starting from the upper soccer field parking lot, we began our moseys to each of the stations, taking the long way to each one:

  • Station 1: (at the 9/11 memorial) = 10 Burpees, 20 Merkins, 30 WW2, 40 Body Weight Squat, 50sec Plank.
  • Station 2 (field behind tennis courts) = 10 Burpees, 20 Diamond Merkins, 30 WW1, 40 Body Weight Squat, 50sec Plank.
  • Station 3 (baseball field) = 10 Burpees, 20 Off-Set Merkins (10 each side), 30 WW2, 40 Jump Squats, 50sec Plank.
  • Station 4 (playground) = 10 Pull ups, 30 Calf Raises.
  • Station 5 (lower/grass soccer field): 10 Burpees, 20 Merkins, 30 WW1, (no 40 or 50 due to time).

CoT:

Prayer for each man, to bear our responsibilities at home, work, church, etc. with perseverance and grace, and to seek God’s will above our own. Amen.

Demonstrating Wisdom through Hooverball

  1. AO: Olympus
  2. QIC: YNAB
  3. The PAX: Obadiah, Nano, Zeus, Hoolihan, Dunder, PopFly, ElNino, Monk, Ashe
  4. WarmUp: SSH, Windmills, Ricky Bobby up to the tennis courts, High Knees, Butt Kickers, and Frankenstein Walks
  5. Fifth Paragraph: YNAB informed the group about President Hoover’s dislike for exercise and his physician’s creation of a sport called Hooverball (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooverball). The PAX then attempted to light the court in order to reduce liklihood of decapitation by medicine ball. During the three games of Hooverball and realizing there was more fear of the small hard medicine ball than the website implied, YNAB realized that a larger fluffier medicine ball and playing in daylight were probably preferred for future games. YNAB then had the PAX switch to Catch Me If You Can on the tennis courts. We did burpees, deep squats, WWIIs, Imperial Walkers, and some other fun exercises as @Nano did an amazing backwards roll to the delight of the crowd. We then mozied back to the parking lot for Mary.
  6. Mary:
  7. COT: @PopFly announced the upcoming workouts and the upcoming Olympus shirt order. YNAB infored the group of a good quote by Hoover: "Wisdom consists not so much in knowing what to do in the ultimate as knowing what to do next" and related it to that morning’s switcharoo (fail fast, gentlemen). He then closed with a quick prayer before the PAX dispersed.
