Coconut (Q)about 10°F at 0500 when YHC began shoveling out part of the intended running track for today’s workout. Still 10° at 0530, when PAX gathered at the shovel flag on the S side of swimming pool area.
Intro: Mission and Core Principles, Credo.
Warm-O-rama as the stragglers arrived to the circle:
SSH IC, Windmill IC, Imperial Walker IC.
shoulder CMUs and move to the area for today’s work with a demo along the way.
THANG: Put the LIME in the Coconut
a line of cones was set out at about 30′ spacing along the paved trail leading N and NW from the swimming pool area around the field to the road. 10 cones in all.
LIME to first cone, Coconut crawl to 2nd cone, run the lap back to your cinderblock (about 0.2 mi). repeato. Attempt to get all the cincerblocks to the end of the line of cones.LIME = Hold cinderblock overhead (rifle carry position) and Lunge Walk R and L, then Imperial Block R and L, then Manmaker, then Energizer bunny
L(unge walk)
I(mperial blocker)
M(anmaker)
E(nergizer bunny)
For your average size man, 2 LIMEs will travel you about 30 feet…the distance to the next cone.Coconut crawl is a 3 part move YHC learned at a yoga resort in Mexico. It wasn’t called coconut crawl there, nor was it intended as a mode of transport (MOT), but using the move as such back home in the swamp earned it the moniker. It’s based on a plank position, but will move you in a direction sideways to your body orientation (L or R, depending how you do it). Think of it like an extravagant lateral bear crawl.
Coconut Crawl left:
Begin in a high plank position.
Place your right foot next to your right hand.
Lift your right hand and kick your left leg/foot through the gap, planting your heel out in front of you, toes up, the foot on the same line that had joined that foot to your left hand before the kick through. (you’ll now be facing the sky with 3 points on the ground: right foot, left hand flat, left heel out in front).
Hoist your right hip and knee as high as possible as you turn your body over the line between your left hand and foot, put your right hand and foot down together so you’re now in a plank position again. Your head should face the opposite direction from the beginning, and you’ve moved roughly one body-width to your left (from initial position). To keep going the same direction, you now have to perform the same move beginning with the opposite foot.So all together it’s (1) Step up, (2) Kick through, (3) Hoist over and this achieves one move to the side and a swap of the direction you’re facing. Since you wind up back in a plank position, for today’s effort we added (4) merkin before starting the next one. It takes about 9 coconut crawls to go the 30′ to the next cone. I think the merkin made it a lot harder!
We did not get to the end of the line of cones. A couple of times PAX advanced a lagging block to keep the group moving together. About 2 cones remained for most of the Cindys when time was called and PAX trudged the blocks back to the flag for COT
COR/NOR, Spaulding 6.
LDP3 on Peace. A leader must *decide* what attitude he is going to express to the group (hopefully a peaceful one) and let the mirror neurons do their work so that his calm will spread to others. This is how a man acts the thermostat, not the thermometer.Thrilled to lead and grateful to the guys who went on this tropical journey in the snow with me. Time for a blended Daiquiri.
