YHC designed a workout that involved a ton of pullups, running, and stair work at The Forest Theater.  However, Boucher offered to open the gates to Kenan Stadium a few minutes before the workout started and there’s no way I was going to let that opportunity pass me by.  As we warmed up, I designed a new workout that involved working our way to the top of the stadium, through the box seat section, and down to the field.  What we ended up with was a simple Squat and Merkin heavy workout but getting through it was hardly simple.  What an amazing way to start the week!

 

Warmup (all in cadence count):

  • 10x Side Shuffle Hops
  • 10x Willie Mays Hayes
  • 10x Good Mornings
  • 10X Little Baby Arm Circles and Reverse
  • 10x Overhead Claps
  • 10x Seal Claps
  • 10x Slow Merkins
  • 10x Slow Squats

 

 

The Thang:

  • Bunny Hop the outer stairwell up to box seats
  • Bear crawl down the stadium stairs to the field
  • 21sSquats, run to the other sideline, Merkins (Just like 11s, but many more reps)
  • Pair off into groups of two and Race up the stadium stairs and hold squat until last man arrives

  • 50 Flutter Kicks in cadence

We prayed for Boucher who lost a close friend to mental health issues last week and for Patmos who lost his grandmother to Alzheimer’s recently.  Nightshift volunteered to take us out with a great message to kick off the week.
