AO: The Highlands
QIC: JAG
PAX: Trolley, Toolbox, Maj. Payne, Jenner and DRPAX Bono and The Duke
Warm-Up: SSH, 5 Musclemakers, Imperial Walkers, 4 Musclemakers, Arm Circles, 3 Musclemakers, Reverse Arm Circles, 2 Musclemakers, Windmills and 1 Musclemaker.
The Thang: The PAX took a mosey through the neighborhood, stopping every so often for a set of exercises for the chest, legs and core. The chest exercises were merkins, lots and lots of merkins! The PAX enjoyed inchworm merkins, hands release merkins, decline merkins, wide merkins, diamond merkins and Carolina Dry Docks. Leg exercises were jump squats, one-legged squats, box jumps, lunges and mountain climbers. Core exercises included LBCs, WWIIs, protractors, boxcutters, and outlaws.
Mary: The Absolutely Worst Merkin Ever — an inchworm, a hands free, a diamond, a wide and a Carolina Dry Dock performed in succession — made its debut to much muttering under the PAX’s breath applause. The PAX also completed Mt. Everests and Little Baby Flutter Crunches.
COT: The Highlands PAX continued its review of Admiral McRaven’s “Make Your Bed”. In chapter 3, the Admiral encourages us to measure a person by the size of his or her heart. Similarly, we should view our workouts though the effort that we put into completing the beatdown, not through the number of Absolutely Worst Merkins Ever or other exercises that we execute. Aye!
