The BackBlast:

Conditions: 23F with wind chill of 15. Partly cloudy before Gail supposedly brings us the most snow we’ve had in 3 years or more.

YHC somehow has made it through the first 38 years of my life without watching the Christmas classic, White Christmas.

Thanks to the inspiration from Hops, our family watched it together this past weekend and really enjoyed it, especially the great music. Thought it appropriate to incorporate some elements into todays pre-Winter Storm workout!

Warmup:

Mosey

Motivators – 7 to 1

Windmill – 16 IC

Imperial Walker – 16 IC

Weedpicker – 16 IC

Plankjack – 16 IC

Dialup Stretch

Thang Part 1:

Mosey to Pull up bars. PAX start in plank position in a row. Continue to hold plank while taking turns completing 10 pull ups. 3 rounds for a total of 30 pull ups. Shake it out. Rinse and Repeat except substitute Merkins instead of Pull-ups.

Thang Part 2:

Mosey to pavilion for some fun in the S.N.O.W.

The Playlist (all from White Christmas): each song lasted about 3 minutes

1. Snow
2. Sisters
3. Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep
4. White Christmas

The exercises:

1. S weat Angels

PAX did the exercises prescribed for the duration of each song, with a group Mosey break, up and down the parking lot between each song.

Three Rounds of Speed Humpers to finish off

How about 12MOM in the middle of the beatdown instead?

Count-a-rama

Name-a-rama

COT – Do you have a personal mission statement? YHC has been working on one at the recommendation of my mentor at work and have found it a valuable exercise. A good reminder of how I want to live my life and what makes me “me”.
