Boot camp style workout at the Shops at Fallen Timbers. Group will meet next to the movie theater. Easy access to the Wabash Cannonball Trail for some running or rucking. Also, plenty of blacktop to make use of, not to mention a little green space across from the theater.
Intro: Principles, Mission, explanation of Beatdown
PAX: Cinnamons, Turkleton, Lonzo, Lyman, Orange Kilt, Charlotte, Woodstock, Mercy (q), Rudy, Footloose
Mercy pulled out 2 of the greatest hits, and although there are multiple great hits at the Battlefield, we borrowed from Stark’s “Department Store Dash”, and Jimmy Dean’s “Mall Walking” – this is the name I applied to JD’s format.
We made it up and down the mall twice – Dept Store Dashing down, and Mall Walking back.
Dept Store Dash: At each door entrance, the PAX do a set number of reps. The first to be done calls “done!” and they have earned double reps at next door entrance. Repeat this at every door entrance.
First time down: 5 merkins, winner gets 10.
Second time down: 3 Lt Dans, Winner gets 6.
Mall Walking – at each Flower pot, trash can, and bench, an exercise is assigned. There are a lot of benches at Fallen Timbers.
First time down: Flower Pot – 10 Air presses 2 is 1, trash can – 10 air presses, bench – 10 lunges 1 is 1.
Second time down: Flower Pot – 10 Air presses 2 is 1, trash can – 10 air presses, bench – 10 merkins.
ON first time down, Maxx Fitness was not open. A man in his Jeep was parked, waiting for the doors to open at 0700. As we passed him doing merkins at every door, he asked us if we were the group running during COVID- yes, we were outside, doing work with distance, still pushing and accelerating while minimzing risk. We EH’d him, gave him our website. Gyms were shut down, but not F3.
Also of note, there are an enormous amount of benches.
It was a joy to be at the beatdown with friends with sun shining, and sweat glistening on our bodies.
We ended with COT – announcements and prayer. Turkleton was the 6.
