Reminded of my Q the prior evening at my children’s soccer practice, YHC began looking around to come up with ideas for our routine the following morning. Four benches on the field=four exercise stations. Done and done.

The Thang

We jogged to the pitch and I noted four benches, two on each sideline. The right sideline for arms (Bench #1 was dips and Bench #3 was derkins), the left sideline for legs (Bench #2 was box jumps and Bench #4 was step-ups). We had to split up at each station due to group size. To get from one bench to the next, we traveled through the midfield circle. Modes of transport included bear crawl, crab walk, lunge walk, bunny hop, gorilla crawl, backwards run, and sprint.

First Circuit: Bench #1 (20 dips and plank hold)-Midfield (10 Burpess OYO)-Bench #2 (20 Box Jumps and Sumo Squats)-Midfield (5 JAMS)-Bench #3 (20 derkins and merkins)-Midfield (2 Ladderjacks)-Bench #4 (20 step-ups and backward lunges)

Second Circuit: Bench #1 (20 dips and low plank hold)-Midfield (10 Burpees OYO)-Bench #2 (20 Box Jumps and Sumo Squats)-Midfield (5 JAMS)-Bench #3 (20 derkins and merkins)-Midfield (2 Ladderjacks)-Bench #4 (20 step-ups and Johnny Dramas)

Running low on time we hustled back to the parking lot and picked up some rocks for upper body exercises: 20 overhead tricep extensions, 12 goblet squats, 12 bent-over rows. We laid down for 20 presses and wrapped up with a five-count ring of fire holding the rocks out over our chests.

Lots of opportunities to help out in the wake of Hurricane Florence, including one of our own. Check Slack for details.
