After YHC’s Disney themed VQ, there was question about his willingness to Q again so soon. Was this an opportunity for more vacationed themed Q’s; a trip around Dollywood,
or the sites of the Outer Banks?
All of that was put aside when YHC told the pax in attendance (41, a record for depot) that this was no fun and games. Instead this would be a full-body workout from the backyard. The pax would stay under the bright lights of the upper parking lot, so no miner’s lamp was needed.
Conditions: Warm and humid, 74 degrees and 82% humidity
THE THANG
COP
IW for walker x 30
SSH x 9 (YHC forgot how to count. It was at this point he was thankful he made the decision to not make the rest of the workout in cadence.)
Through the tunnel x 10
Mosey to the upper parking lot
Backyard Full-body Circuit Workout around the parking lot
Given that there were 41 pax, someone had the good idea to split into two groups and start at opposite ends of the parking lot. (Thank you!)
10 Mountain climbers each leg
sprint to the next station
10 inch worm merkins (YHC demonstrated for the pax)
sprint to the next station
10 side lunges with floor reach each leg
switch to the other side of the parking lot
10 curtsy lunge hops each leg (Did he say “curtsy”)?
sprint to the next station
10 burpees
sprint to the next station
10 single leg deadlift each side
rinse and repeat OYO.
After several trips around the parking lot YHC called for recovery which was happily received.
YHC lead the pax in a series of stretches which sparked some good mumblechatter.
Mosey to the Shovel Flat for COT/BOM
