We all just wanna be big rockstars -Nickelback (The real band)

As YHC prepared his birthday Q it needed to pay homage to my namesake. It needed to be baller. YHC walked downtown waving the flag on the way to the Rock and with a special “birthday candlestick” coupon. And here is what went down.

Warm-Up

Jog down to the traffic circle

  • Mtn Climbers (10)
  • Imperial Walkers (10)
  • Overhead Clappers (10)
  • Seal Clappers (10)

The Thang

YHC introduced his first 34 theme with 3-4 Roundabouts. This is where we completed 3 counter-clockwise laps doing an exercise and then 4 clockwise exercises. And of course we were passing the birthday coupon which was a 16 lbs post digger.

The 3-4 Roundabout Laps

  • Jog
  • Butt Kicks
  • Karaoke
  • Karaoke (reverse)
  • High Knees
  • Jog
  • Bunny Hops

Mosyed down to the park.

Pushorama 

YHC elected not to take out his wireless speaker from the rucksack so we had some softer background music playing during pushorama. At least the neighbors were happy about that decision. For everyone else we listened to “Nickelback Essentials” playlist on Apple Music during the following:

  • 1 diamond merkins
  • sprint down field
  • 2 diamond merkins
  • spring down field
  • 3 diamond merkins
  • sprint down field
  • 4 diamond merkins
  • sprint
  • 5 diamond merkins
  • sprint
  • 6 diamond merkins
  • sprint
  • 7 diamond merkins
  • sprint
  • 6 diamong merkins

And with that we had completed 34 diamond merkins! It was epic and there was more! With the adrenaline rush of the barely audible iPhone speakers pumping out Nickelback we did round 2 of pushorama with wide grip merkins with the same 34 process above.

We then moseyed over to the picnic tables at the park.

Legorama

People chair 5 count at each Pax member while passin the coupon down the line. We did several of these:

  • Regular people’s chair
  • Arms our people’s chair
  • Arms out plus 1 leg leg out

We then had an in-the-moment inspiration (similar to I’m sure most of the band Nickelback’s lyrics) and we grabbed we split the pax in half at each picnic table.

Stationary Flying Dutchmans

  • 1 pax on top of the table completing 5 regular merkins
  • the rest of the pax holding up the table flexing their muscles
  • rotate pax until all members experienced rockstar status on top of the table

We then moseyed back Hillsborough style from the park to mary with some Duck and Weave excercise.

Mary

  • Russian Hammer (5 count around the circle while passing the rucksack)
  • LBCs (15)
  • 6 inch leg hold (15 count)
  • Flutter Kicks (34 of course to finish strong)

COT

  • Announcements: come out Wednesday to Mystery Brewing for a Hillsborough F2 event starting 8pm
  • Prayers: Florence’s M expecting also on Wednesday so we will pour one out for him and all the remaining projects on his plate before baby arrives

Great to Q at the newest Hillsborough site! More great things to come in the Northern Province including t-shirt orders and launching a Wednesday AO.

See you in the gloom!
