WARMUP: We began with Frisbears — a wild combo of frisbee tossing, sprinting, and bear crawls. Each PAX took turns throwing the frisbee. If it hit the ground, we bear crawled to it; if someone caught it, everyone got to run. Woody and Westside showed off their hands and made it a little easier for the group.
THE THANG: Four Stations of the Cross
Center: All kettlebells were placed in the middle.
⸻
North Station: Swings + Thrusters Pyramid
PAX lunged to the north with kettlebells, performing a descending pyramid of:
• 10 Swings + 10 goblet squats
• 8 Swings + 8 goblet squats
• 6 Swings + 6 goblet squats
• 4 Swings + 4 goblet squats
• 2 Swings + 2 goblet squats
After each round, we returned to the center with the bells overhead, feeling the burn.
⸻
East Station: Calf Raises + Overhead Presses
Bear crawl with the kettlebell to the east. At this station, we did:
• Calf Raises with Overhead Presses
• Held the kettlebell out for 1 minute to test our endurance.
Then we returned to the center with the bells overhead.
⸻
South Station: Lunges + Thrusters + Monkey Humpers
At the south, we performed:
• 25 Lunges
• 25 Thrusters
• Monkey Humpers while waiting for everyone to finish.
Then we took a sprint and repeated the cycle. At any point, if someone wanted to swap to just sprints, they could shout “Leroy Jenkins!” and off they went.
⸻
West Station: Merkin Madness
Bear crawl to the west with your kettlebell. At this station, we did:
• KB Merkin Pull-Throughs
• Diamond Merkins (or push-ups)
After completing the station, we returned to the center for Manmakers each time (except the last time, get over it)
MARY: We wrapped up with a brief core session, keeping the spirit of the workout alive.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: your mom goes to college
COT: quick reminder that strength is not just in what we lift, but in how we lift each other up.
