20 PAX braved the gloom this morning. Flat Tire, Gilligan, Doorjam, Betty Crocker, DQ, Oliver Twist, Quikrete, Norm, Tutti Frutti, No-See-Um, Pergo, Hobby Lobby, Radar, R-12, Frozone, Honker, Hardover, Doughboy, Jiminy, and YHC.
Temps in the mid 70’s and we were all better for it. Initial mumblechatter prior to start consisted of DQ racing back to his house to get the appropriate shoes for today’s workout. Truly living up to his F3 name, a Drag Queen must always be prepared. After all the belly laughing upon DQ’s return to the Circle of Pain, we carried on. YHC is dealing with a tweaked shoulder so it was brought up during the disclaimer. Modify as needed, listen to your body. And lastly try to maintain distance between each other to mitigate any potential Rona risk.
We did some warm up exercises that might have included Michael Phelps, planking, plank jacks, chinooks, raise the roof, etc. I didn’t have them properly documented on my Weinke so I’m sure I’m missing some warmup exercises. I explained how the POAS with Cindy was going down. We mosey’d to Cindy’s lair to pick her and her sisters up. And after nixing the Indigenous People run with Cindy, we mosey’d to the soccer field.
The first pearl of the POAS with Cindy started at one corner of the soccer field where a strength exercise was called out followed by an Ab/core exercise. Each exercise was called in cadence where it made sense and Cindy had to participate in each movement. YHC chose a random number for cadence because Gilligan hates not ending on a round number. YHC also attempted to call cadence as high as the group could collectively go, or When Norm’s grunting was noticeable.
From the first corner we escorted Cindy to the second corner of the soccer field and performed the next set of exercises. Took Cindy to the next corner and lather, rinse, repeat. We ended up doing 8 corners all together or 8 pearls on a string with an extra credit 9th on our mosey back to Cindy’s house. The pearls were as follows:
- Lion King – Flutter Kicks
- Kettlebell Swings – American Hammers
- Colt 45’s – LBC’s
- Blockees – Alphabet spelling out Drag Queen
- Lawn Mowers – Hello Dolly’s
- Overhead Press – Gas Pumpers
- Derkins – Box Cutters
- Skull Crushers – Freddy Mercury’s
- Bonus: Squats – ?
After telling Cindy good riddance we mosey’d to the flag. Count off, Name-o-Rama, announcements, pledge, and prayer. Please keep Swabbie and his family in your prayers dealing with COVID. Also, pray for DQ’s friends who lost a baby days after being born. And lastly, lift prayers up for our DR PAX No-See-Um’s M dealing with an undiagnosed health condition.
Naked Moleskin: T-claps to No-See-Um for posting with us all week. He currently hails from Tampa but is actually from the local area. Like I mentioned during the workout. It’s easy to be strong and kill a workout at the beginning. But it’s when things get hard in the middle and at the end when you really know what you have deep down inside. Are you just gonna give up? Nope, not if you’re F3. You’re gonna FINISH STRONG! Thanks for letting me lead Gents. The gloom belongs to us!!!
