Mosey to Benches.

Perform following sets in cadence (single count), beginning with 10 reps of one exercise and 1 of the other exercise, then 9 and 2, then 8 and 3, and so on down to 1 and 10.  Combined count always equals the magic number eleventeen.

  2. Step-Ups & Squats (tap your butt on the wall)
  3. 4-count Flutterkicks & Feet-Elevated Crunches

 

Mosey to the track.  Continuing the elevenses theme, starting at the start line, perform 11 burpees and then sprint down the track to the finish line (about 50 yards).  There, perform 10 burpees OYO.  Sprint back to start and perform 9 burpees. So on and so forth down to 1 burpee.

 

Suicides in Parking Lot.  As fate would have it, there are eleventeen parking spaces.  Suicides to each.

 

Mary: Cutting it close on time, so Mary was abbreviated.  11 Hello Dollies and 11 FK (4-count).  Focused on form (legs straight).

COT: Elevenses, though somewhat popularized comedically by my like-statured cousins, the Hobbits, in one of the Lord of the Rings movies, is apparently a real thing in some parts of the world.  It generally consists of light snacks and tea.  In the good old U.S. of A., brunch is a more common platform.  Brunch, interestingly (and allegedly), was “created” around the turn of the century in Britain when Guy Beringer wrote a column in Hunter’s Weekly titled “Brunch: A Plea”.  Guy basically pleaded the case that brunch helps with hangovers from Saturday night carousing.  He elaborated: “It puts you in a good temper, it makes you satisfied with yourself and your fellow beings, it sweeps away the worries and cobwebs of the week.” Thus, I hope you can consider today’s workout as brunch – I hope you’re now in a better mood, more satisfied with yourself and fellow men, and that your worries and distractions have been eased.  Thank you again for your support today.  Until next time —
