Does Defense Actually Win Championships??

YHC had taken some time off after the birth of a 3rd child and was excited to get back on the Q horse.  The M and I have found it pretty funny the number of people that have commented on our 3rd with the “uh-oh it’s zone coverage now” joke.  The M’s response has been a low blow for YHC as she typically comments that she’s already been in zone coverage for years since I’m unable to cover man to man.  They say Defense Wins Championships so I took it upon myself to brush up on some defensive fundamentals and decided to bring the PAX along for the ride.  Who knows maybe their M’s would appreciate it…

Warm Up:

Side Shuffle Hop x 25

Imperial Walkers x 15

Baby Arm Circles x 15; Reverse x 15

Walk- Outs x 10 (Oyo)

Good Mornings x 15

The Football Chop x 10

 

The Thang:

1st Fundamental- Choose your team wisely

Partner Up for a DORA.  Partner 1 runs 5 sprints up & back the width of tennis court, with burpees 5x at the beginning and end of the run.  Meanwhile Partner 2 is hammering out 100 Merkins, 200 Mountain- Climbers, and 300 Squats.

2nd Fundamental- Pick up your team when needed

Partner up.  Perform a broken wheelbarrow carry the entire perimeter of the tennis courts switching off with your partner as needed.

3rd Fundamental- Keep your legs fresh for the 4th Qtr.

In succession with no rest: 15 squats (cadence), 15 tuck jumps, 20 lunges (10 each leg), 15 smurf jacks. This particularly annoying string of exercises is known as the Clay (my legs are) Aiken.

Capped off with a Balls to the Wall 10 count Ring of Fire, followed by,

Peoples Chair 10 count Ring of Fire.  There was some brief concern that Justice had a stroke during this exercise but turned out he was just trolling the PAX.  Well played.

 

Mary:

Windshield Wipers x 10

Superman Ring of Fire for 10 count

 

COT:

Prayers for Weenie Roast as he continues his journey of emotional connection for himself and with his wife.  Praying that God brings peace, comfort, and clarity to Justice and his family as they deal with some sad and unfortunate circumstances in their lives.

 

Days like today YHC realizes how much bigger than just a workout this thing is all about.  Honored and thankful to be a part of this group of men.
